Map Service Settings for ArcMap

Before you publish the map service for DHFC, review the following requirements.

The DHFC application is not set to paginate data, which is a method to display a limited number of search results. Increasing this number to 1000000 ensures you receive all data upon import.

Disable Schema Locking

While administering a GIS, there are situations when you might encounter a schema lock that prevents you from updating the underlying geodatabase while a service is running. In this case, you need to stop the active services before you can update the geodatabase. This is the default behavior, and you do not have to change it. However, since the DHFC service is running continually, you might find it beneficial to disable schema locking, specifically for the DHFC map service, so that you may perform geodatabase updates even while DHFC services are running.

1. On the Parameters pane, increase the Maximum number of records returned by the server to 1000000, then click Advanced.

   

2. On the schemaLockingEnabled field, change the value to false, then click OK.

   

3. On the left hand menu, click Capabilities. Enable Mapping, Feature Access, and ArcFMMapServer.

   

4. On the Mapping tab, use the default values.

   

5. On the Feature Access tab, use the default values. Under Properties, enable Allow update of true curves to let curves maintain their arc geometry.

   

6. On the ArcFMMapServer tab, use the default values.

   

7. Before the map is published, click Analyze to see if the service can publish successfully. When the task is run, the software returns messages, warnings, and errors. Only errors must be addressed to publish the service.

   Here is one example.

   DHFC does support annotation, but a map service with annotation cannot also have feature access enabled. To fix, publish two services; one with features and feature access enabled, and one with annotation and feature access disabled.
