Thanks Mark and Rhett, looks like it's a dead end for transparency on the layer then. Rhett, you are right in the case where the tiles are viewed in ArcGIS. But it is not my case, I actually load these tiles in n SQLite database to be viewed on another platform (and that platform does not have transparency settings). Setting transparency to the entire tile sadly seems not possible in ArcGIS... I managed to do this with Smallworld though... Thanks again for your help. Cheers.

Hi Mark, Now that i have the background set as being fully transparent, I was wondering if it is possible to set some transparency to the rest of the PNG. Basically, I am creating tile layers and would like to set a transparency to the tile so I can see through in case I have a basemap underneath. My layer in the mxd has a transparency set to 40% but when exported as an image, the PNG is not transparent... Any help would be great. Thanks in advance! Ben

Hi there, I used the following line of code to export an mxd to PNG 8 bit (i am creating tiles)... BUT i cant seem to set the background to transparent (or No Color)... any clue as to what parameter i should use?! arcpy.mapping.ExportToPNG(mxd, pngpath, df, df_export_width = 256, df_export_height = 256, resolution = 70, world_file=False, color_mode = "8-BIT_PALETTE", background_color = "No Color", transparent_color = "No Color") I read on other forum threads that by setting the background color and transparent color to the same value should do the trick... it does not work in my case. The data-frame background color is set to Hollow... Any tips would be great 🙂

Hi Cory, yeah that is what I imagined but still hoped ESRI had something to share. Can I ask how much roughly? I think I may be in the same situation as you so I guess there is no other choice than go though the document you linked in your previous message (great find by the way)... Cheers, Ben

Hi Cory, I am trying to do exactly the same thing (but will publish the geocoder service locally, not on Dekho). If you find the solution or if you come across more helpful files, thanks for sharing ! (even an xml maybe 😉 Bruce, can the files be provided for free, or are there any fees? Cheers, Ben

Hi Jeff, thanks for your help, I will give that a go... but from what i read it seems to be working 🙂 Mary Helen, not too sure if thsi is what you want... here is a line i wrote which worked a little while ago (it was sharing the service on AGOL from memory): arcpy.UploadServiceDefinition_server("C:\\...", "My Hosted Services", '', '', "NEW", "folder", "STARTED","OVERRIDE_DEFINITION", "SHARE_ONLINE","PRIVATE", "NO_SHARE_ORGANIZATION", "") Cheers.

Hi Carol, thanks for your reply... for some reason it was crashing since I installed it for the first 2 weeks, but its ok now (I didn't do anything at all)... I am using Windows 7 - 64Bit and have .Net 4.5 running on it. I would still like to understand what happened so I made the view public. It is called "Plantation dashboard". Any comments / leads would be great. Thanks again.

Hi All, I would like to automate publishing feature services - from an mxd using Python to my AG Online account. I did this successfully manually using the menu: Share as -> Service, Publish a service - Feature Access Capabilities etc... Using Python, I managed to publish the service definition file on AG Online using: arcpy.mapping.CreateMapSDDraft() arcpy.mapping.AnalyzeForSD() arcpy.StageService_server() arcpy.UploadServiceDefinition_server() But I could not find a way to publish a feature service to AG Online! I must be missing something. Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi there, Operation Dashboard crashes a few minutes after I launch my dashboard (usually during the first few minutes). I deleted the map, dashboard, tried again and am still getting the same error. My map contains a single feature service layer. Any help / comments on this would be greatly appreciated (I am using v 10.1.1.142 trial version). Cheers.

Hi there, I am having the exact same problem. Have you ever found a solution? I need to be able to retrieve the PNG from the .mpk file!!! Thanks in advance ! Ben

Hi, I am attempting to perform a spatial join of a road network with a polygon layer (containing over 3 million features), every time it runs, the process finishes without any error messages but the output feature is empty. I am working in GDB... any tips or ideas on what could be happening? Cheers, Ben
