Find

Description: The response format. The default response format is html.

Values: html | json

Description: (Required) The search string. This is the text that is searched across the layers and fields the user specifies.

Example: searchText=Los

Description: If false, the operation searches for an exact match of the searchText string. An exact match is case sensitive. Otherwise, it searches for a value that contains the searchText provided. This search is not case sensitive. The default is true.

Values: true | false

Description: The names of the fields to search. The fields are specified as a comma-separated list of field names. If this parameter is not specified, all fields are searched.

Syntax: searchFields=<fieldName1>,<fieldName2>

Where fieldName1, fieldName2 are the field names returned by the layer resource.

Example: searchFields=AREANAME,SUB_REGION

Description: The well-known ID of the spatial reference of the output geometries. If sr is not specified, the output geometries are returned in the spatial reference of the map.

New in 10.0.

Description: Allows you to filter the features of individual layers in the exported map by specifying definition expressions for those layers. Definition expression for a layer that is published with the service will be always honored.

Simple Syntax:

Syntax: layerId1:layerDef1;layerId2:layerDef2

Where layerId1, layerId2 are the layer ids returned by the map service resource.

Example: 0:POP2000 > 1000000;5:AREA > 100000

JSON Syntax: You can also use a JSON representation for Layer Definitions.

Syntax:

Where layerId1, layerId2 are the layer ids returned by the map service resource.

Description: (Required) The layers to perform the find operation on. The layers are specified as a comma-separated list of layer ids.

Syntax: layers=<layerId1>,<layerId2>

Where layerId1 ,layerId2 are the layer ids returned by the map service resource.

Example: layers=2,4,7

Description: If true, the resultset includes the geometries associated with each result. The default is true.

Values: true | false

//This option was added at 10.0.

Description: This option can be used to specify the maximum allowable offset to be used for generalizing geometries returned by the find operation.

The maxAllowableOffset is in the units of the sr. If sr in not specified, the maxAllowableOffset is assumed to be in the unit of the spatial reference of the map.

Example: maxAllowableOffset=2

//This option was added at 10.1.

Description: This option can be used to specify the number of decimal places in the response geometries returned by the find operation. This applies to X and Y values only (not m or z values).

Example: geometryPrecision=3

//This option was added at 10.1.

Description: Use dynamicLayers property either to modify the data source of existing layers in the current map service or to add new layers. The new layer should have its source pointing to one of the registered workspaces that was defined at the time the map service was created. When defining a dynamic layer, source is required.

Syntax:

[
  {
    "id": <layerOrTableId>,
    "source": <layer source>,
    "definitionExpression": "<definitionExpression>"
  },
  {
    "id": <layerOrTableId>,
    "source": <layer source>,
    "definitionExpression": "<definitionExpression>"
  }
]

Example:

[
  {
    "id": 501,
    "source":
    {
      "type": "mapLayer",
      "mapLayerId": 0
    }
  },
  //add a new layer from registered workspace
  {
    "id": 502,
    "source":
    {
      "type": "dataLayer",
      "dataSource":
      {
        "type": "table",
        "workspaceId": "MAP",
        "dataSourceName": "MAP.user1.Taxlots"
      }
    }
  },
  //change the Version of existing map service layer
  {
    "id": 503,
    "source":
    {
      "type": "mapLayer",
      "mapLayerId": 1,
      "version": "USER1"
    },
    "definitionExpression": "neighborhood = 'French Quarter'"
  }
]

//This option was added at 10.1.

Description: If true, Z values will be included in the results if the features have Z values. Otherwise, Z values are not returned. The default is true.

Note:

This parameter only applies if returnGeometry=true.

//This option was added at 10.1.

Description: If true, M values will be included in the results if the features have M values. Otherwise, M values are not returned. The default is false.

Note:

This parameter only applies if returnGeometry=true.

//This option was added at 10.1.

Description: Switch map layers to point to an alternate geodabase version.

Syntax: gdbVersion=<geodatabase version>

Example: gdbVersion=sde.USER1
