Find task on table layer in AGSDynamicMapService

[RobertMartin2]

Hello,

I am trying to execute a find task on a table layer in an AGSDynamicMapService. I know the layer is running properly because I can query it without issue. When I try to run the find task, however, I get this error:

Error: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=400 "Unable to complete  operation." UserInfo=0x6371fb0 {NSLocalizedFailureReason=Error, NSURL=[theURL]/MapServer/find?returnGeometry=false&contains=true&layers=180&searchFields=NAME_T&searchText=[theSearchText]&f=json, NSLocalizedDescription=Unable to complete  operation.}

I tried pasting that URL into my browser and I got Error 400: Unable to complete operation, but couldn't find any more info in the server documentation. Does anyone know what might be causing this? Is there something that has to be enabled when the service is published?


Thank you,
Robert

Robert,

The find operation is not supported on tables by ArcGIS Server REST API (as you verified URL in the browser). Hence, you won't be able to get AGSFindTask to work with tables.

Hope this helps!

Hi Nimesh,

Thank you for the response. I'm just little confused -- in the class reference for AGSFindTask it says:

This task performs text-based searches on an ArcGIS Server map service. The search can include both layers and tables in the map service.

So shouldn't the find task work here?


Thanks again,
Robert

Sorry for confusion. The class reference doc will be updated mentioning that only text based search on layers are supported.
