Interface - ArcGIS Online

Publishing an .mxd as a feature service from ArcMap

• 1. File > Sign In

  2. Select the Enterprise login option

  3. Our domain is pdxedu.maps.arcgis.com

  4. Click on the 'Portland State' button and login using your ODIN user name and password

  5. Follow these instructions from ESRI to publish the .mxd as a feature service

Accessing a PSU feature service using ArcCatalog

• 1. Locate 'My Hosted Services' near the bottom of ArcCatalog

  2. When you double-click, you'll be asked to login (see above)

  3. After a successful login, the list of PSU services will appear

  4. Adding http://services2.arcgis.com/6Miy5NqQWjMYTGFY/arcgis as a GIS Server to ArcCatalog will also work. This shows all of the PSU resources on ArcGIS online. This method doesn't require you to login but only shows public resources (I assume)

Finding the REST url

• 1. The REST url is located in the lower right-hand corner of the service overview on ArcGIS online

  2. REST url for our sample: http://services2.arcgis.com/6Miy5NqQWjMYTGFY/arcgis/rest/services/snotel_test/FeatureServer

  3. This url is also in the IAGSServerObjectName.url property when you interrogate that object via the ArcCatalog API

  4. Note that eBAGIS requires that /0 be appended to this url to work with it. This indicates that we are working with the first layer on the map document. In our services, there is only one layer

  5. The format of this featureService url is different than our hosted url so some code would need to be reworked for functions that parse the url

Contents of PropertySet from ArcGIS Online as IAGSServerObjectName

name: TOKENPROVIDERTYPE value: AGOL

name: BYVALUE value: True

name: SERVERTYPE value: 3

name: CONNECTIONMODE value: 1

name: CONNECTIONTYPE value: 2

name: URL value: http://www.arcgis.com/

name: HTTPTIMEOUT value: 60

name: MESSAGEFORMAT value: 2

Currently we interact with ArcGIS Server by using the REST API with information derived from the IAGSServerObjectName. Looks like that won't work here

Code to iterate through a PropertySet

Dim objNames As Object

Dim objValues As Object

Dim arrValues As Object()

propertySet.GetAllProperties(objNames, objValues)

arrValues = CType(objValues, Object())

Dim idx As Int16 = 0

For Each objName As Object In objNames

Dim strName As String = Convert.ToString(objName)

Dim strValue As String = Convert.ToString(arrValues(idx))

Debug.Print("name: " + strName + " value: " + strValue)

idx += 1
