Service Resources Fields

The following services can be added as a service resource:

  • Dynamic Map: Select when using a non-cached map service (/MapServer) where the data is dynamically rendered. A non-cached map service has Single Fused Map Cache set to false in the REST URL defined for the service resource. This is an Esri Published option.
  • Feature Layer: A feature layer is a specific layer from the feature service (.../MapServer/<layer Id> or .../FeatureServer/<layer Id>). Feature layers can be viewed on the map or used for asset configuration. They can reference spatial or non-spatial (table) data. Starting in 15.6, a feature service can be used with Equipment Change Out.
  • Geocode: Select when using a geocode service (/GeocodeServer).
  • Geometry: Select when using a geometry service (/GeometryServer).
  • Image Map: Select when using an image service (/ImageServer).
  • Mobile Map Package: Select when using a mobile map package (.mmpk) for offline use in the version 7 or newer Android and iOS apps.
  • Print Task: Select to add a printing service to generate images for map printing in the map. The print task service must point to an Export Web Map Task service (https://<server>/<webadaptor>/rest/services/Utilities/PrintingTools/GPServer/Export%20Web%20Map%20Task).
  • Resource Proxy: Esri is no longer maintaining or developing the resource proxy.
  • Route Task: Select to add a routing service for use in the map. If using a locally hosted route task, the service URL must point to a Layer Name in the service (https://<server>/<webadaptor>/rest/services/<Folder>/<ServiceName>/NAServer/<LayerName>).

NOTE: The Security Type is not applicable to the Route Task because you need to log in to your routing service when using the Routing tool in the map.

  • Tile Package: Select when using a tile package (.tpk) for offline use in the Android and iOS apps.
  • Tiled Map: Select when using a cached map service (/MapServer) where the data is pulled from saved images rather than being dynamically rendered. A cached map service has Single Fused Map Cache set to true in the REST URL defined for the service resource. This is an Esri published option.
  • Vector Tile: Select when using a vector tile map service to better represent scale when zooming in or out on the map. It usually serves as a basemap layer or reference layer under a dynamic map layer.
  • Web Map: Select when using an ArcGIS.com or Portal Web Map. Copy the ID portion of the web map URL and paste it into the Web Map Id field, and enter the Sharing URL. Click Use AGO URLs to use a Sharing URL from ArcGIS Online. Note that Use AGO URLs defaults to HTTP. If the underlying services that compose the Web Map use HTTPS protocol, you must change the Sharing URL to match that protocol. Click the open service link icon to return the JSON details for the Web Map.
  • Web Scene: Select for use with 3D map functionality.
  • Utility Network Layer: Select to add a Utility Network Layer to support network tracing functionality. Asset groups and asset types from the accompanying feature service can be traced when associated with the Utility Network Layer.

The following security types can be configured for a service resource:

  • No Security: Select this option if your services do not have security.
  • OAuth2 App: Select this option if you use ArcGIS Online and want application-based security. This option allows you to use an app ID instead of your ArcGIS Online login or password.
  • OAuth2 User: Select this option if you use ArcGIS Online and want user-based security.
  • Token: Select this option to use token-based security. This is useful if you are externalizing and want you services accessible from anywhere.
