https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/mapping/layer-properties/set-the-feature-drawing-order...

in the pic above, it is sorting the drawing order alphabetically.

we'd have to assign a rank/score to each status per record, so it can draw the layer accordingly.

unfortunately, it is only supported within pro, not as web feature layers.

when publishing, we get this warning:

20027: Layer uses advanced renderer settings

Advanced settings are not supported

This is misleading, because when I share this map as a web map from pro, the following json gets added to the operational layer within the web map:

 

 

           "layerDefinition": {
                "orderBy": [
                    {
                        "field": "otp_status",
                        "order": "desc"
                    }
                ]
}

 

 

So, although the layer draw order is not supported directly by the web feature layer, the draw order is able to be applied to the operational layer within a web map.


this setting is controlled directly in the web map by the 'Feature Display Order' property:

As of the 11.4 release, the tile cache data store is deprecated. In a future release, it will no longer be supported.

  • The ArcGIS Data Store tile cache data store is leveraged as the underlying storage mechanism to support hosted scene layers in ArcGIS Enterprise.
  • In ArcGIS Enterprise 11.4, this type of ArcGIS Data Store is deprecated and its functionality is replaced by the object store.

The grounds of the University of Hawai`i at Mānoa  are an accredited arboretum, showcasing plants from Hawai`i, the Pacific, and across the tropics, including a number of truly exceptional trees like what may be the largest baobab  in the United States. Classified as a Level 1 arboretum by Morton Arboretumʻs ArbNet, it also has Tree Campus Higher Education recognition by the Arbor Day Foundation. While its primary function is to support the educational mission of the University, the Arboretum is also open to the public.

My name is Julius Paulo, GIS Coordinator for the University of Hawai`i Office of Systems Integration, and this blog post highlights how we use Enterprise GIS as a tool for supporting a campus arboretum.

ArcGIS determines security of web services from the Portal Map Image Layer aka Map Service.

When you publish a layer referencing the RDBMS (and registered as a datastore with ArcGIS Enterprise Server) from ArcGIS Pro, you have the option to enable a Map Image and Feature layer.

This in turn creates two rest end points:

  • One /MapServer/# url
  • One /FeatureServer/# url

 

If the ArcGIS Enterprise Server is Federated to an ArcGIS Enterprise Portal, the publishing process also creates a portal item for each url:

  • a Map Image Layer (MIL) item corresponding to the MapService
  • a Feature Layer (FL)  item corresponding to the FeatureService

In the Portal, the MIL and FL items can have different owners.

By default, the owner of both items is the publisher user that originally published the web services.

If for some reason the ownership changes, it is vital to know that ArcGIS truly bases the security of the web service based on the owner of the MIL/Map Service only.

This is the reason that if you were to overwrite the service from pro, only the MIL item shows up as an available item to overwrite.

As a result, the FL item can be owned by another portal user, but in fact, the access to the data for that FL truly lies with the MIL owner.

 

 

This became evident to me when trying this workflow:

User 1 published a MapService/MIL and FeatureService/FL to portal A, thus the MIL and FL are initially owned by user 1.

FL changed ownership to user 2.

MIL still owned by user 1.

There is a need to use FeatureService/FL from portal A onto portal B, so we login to portal B, and add the feature service URL link reference from portal A.

Side-note:

Some use cases we have used this url link is:

1

When we need to reference a prod url in lower environments (i.e.: stage,dev) as source data to read from

2

To have as a source/feed in ArcGIS Velocity in ArcGIS Online.

add the Feature Service url

Since User 2 owns the FL in Portal A, embed those credentials

In ArcGIS Enterprise Portal, you get this error:

Error
There was an error while adding this item.
 

 

AndresCastillo_5-1730492856948.png

 

 

In ArcGIS Online, you get this error:

the page redirects to org.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=undefined

The item you requested cannot be found. The item may have been deleted or you may have entered an incorrect URL

These errors are fixed once the Map Image Layer owner is the same as the credentials you are embedding when adding the FeatureService url link.

In this case:

We are attempting to add Feature Service url (owned by user 2) using user 2 credentials.

But since the MIL is still owned by user 1, it fails.

Embedding user 1 credentials with the Feature Service url will fix it.

 

Takeaway:

  • The respective feature layer can be a different owner, and it would still work.
  • ArcGIS bases the security off the map service url from the Map Image Layer only.
  • You can also choose to not embed credentials when adding the url link, but then you'd be prompted for credentials each time the layer loads onto an app the first time.

 

 

 

 

The closest Esri doc that I see that mentions this security ownership is in the architecture center:

"In the above service types, only in the map image layer scenario can data truly be restricted to user access."
