Service unable to create when Feature Access Enabled in Arcgis 10

[roufbaba]

Hi,

When I try to create Map Service with Feature Access enabled. An exception is raised stating "no Layer or table was intilized". I am unable to understand what might be the issue help from some body will be appreciated. the service gets created successfully when I disable the feature access option in service properties.



Thanks in anticipation

Please read this help topic and make sure you are following the guidelines it contains.

I am doing every thing as per the guidelines in the link. but one thing I would like to add is that I am also not able to login into the service using Sql server authentication.



Thanks
Rouf

Rouf,

can you check the ArcGIS Server logs to see if there are any error messages returned for this failure to enable feature access extension?

Hope the Map does not include any of the following datasets which are not supported in a feature service. At 10.0 final Service will be created, but any of these unsupported layers will be dropped. there could be issues in pre-release version where the service creation may fail with Maps containing some of this unsupported data.

>>
The following data types are not supported in feature services; annotation, dimensions, terrains, raster datasets, attributed relationship classes and many-to-many relationship classes.

Thanks
Ravi

Many Thanks Ravi

I was finally able to figure it out. The problem was actually with the SDE Service authentication. I recreated the SDE service with authenticate SDE user and it worked. Thankyou very much for your support.

Hi,

Be careful if you use Desktop SDE GDB (ArcSDE Personal Edition) in combination with ArcGIS Server Standard or Advanced: you will get the same exception which is not very clear but better described in the Log Files (ArcGIS Server Manager): ... "maximum number of connections to instance exceeded." Keep in mind that it only support 3 concurrent users, only one of which can be an editor ("arcgissoc" takes one per default with Feature Access). Consider to migrate on the Workgroup SDE GDB Edition :cool: See: Changing license keys for database servers and their geodatabases
