ArcGIS Server Polyfill Service

The AGSPolyfill service provides functionality to versions of ArcGIS Server that do not natively support it. It mimics ArcGIS Server REST APIs that are missing in ArcGIS Server or server runtimes (for example, ArcMap vs. ArcGIS Pro server runtimes).

TIP: A “polyfill” is a piece of code used to provide modern functionality on older browsers that do not natively support it. Thus, the use of the term polyfill in this service simply implies the service replicates an API that is not natively supported.

Supported Features:

Polyfill: Async Apply Edits Support
- The Designer Hosted Edge requires a non-blocking way to invoke the Feature Service /applyEdits REST API to support large designs with numerous edits. ArcGIS Server 10.9.1 introduces an async job-based variation of /applyEdits (when async=true) which addresses this issue, but it was only implemented in the ArcGIS Pro-based service runtime (and was not implemented in the ArcMap-based service runtime). Schneider Electric supports customers on both the Utility Network (UN) and Geometric Network (GN). While the async variation of /applyEdits works for UN environments, it cannot be directly implemented for GN customers. Thus, the AGSPolyfill service fills this important need for GN customers.
