Known limitations
View service: GetFeatureInfo on mixed layer documents
An INSPIRE GetFeatureInfo view service request on more than one query layer, that includes both INSPIRE layers and non–INSPIRE layers, returns the response regarding INSPIRE layers only.
View service: use of INSPIRE SLD files
INSPIRE data specifications contain visualization rules that cannot be expressed in SLD documents (see ProtectedSites layers).
If INSPIRE does not find an SLD document for a specific layer, it will use the defined ArcMap visualization rules for both the INSPIRE_COMMON:DEFAULT style and default styles.
View service: WMTS-based view service capabilities
The direct link to the language-specific capabilities document available in the REST services directory returns the default language (for example, http://my agsserver:6080/arcgis/rest/services/AnnexI/AB/MapServer/exts/InspireView/WMTS/FRE/1.0.0/WMTSCapabilities.xml).
Use the language parameter to access the language-specific capability document (for example, http://my agsserver:6080/arcgis/rest/services/AnnexI/AB/MapServer/exts/InspireView/WMTS/FRE/1.0.0 /WMTSCapabilities.xml?language=FRE).
INSPIRE geodatabase: arcs in cadastral parcel features
In the Cadastral Parcels theme, nonlinear interpolations are allowed (circular arcs). In this release, only geometries with linear interpolations in accordance with the Simple Feature standard (ISO 19125-1) are supported.
ArcCatalog configuration page of INSPIRE services displays a black square
In rare cases, when invoking the INSPIRE service extension configuration page of ArcCatalog, the panel displays a black square.
Use the JavaConfigTool to disable DirectDraw. The tool can be found at: <installation>\ArcGIS\Desktop10.1\Bin\JavaConfigTool.exe.
- Uncheck Use default.
- Add the string -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true to the Java VM arguments text field.
- Click OK.
- Restart ArcCatalog.
Running INSPIRE view services on a geodatabase file with administrative boundaries
The previous release of INSPIRE introduced a way to
dynamically qualify layer definition queries with schema and user
name if such a query contains references to other tables. An example of such a query is as follows: "IFCID IN (SELECT RID FROM {0}auAdmBoundaryL_nationalLevel where nationalLevel = '5thOrder')"
Do not run INSPIRE AdministrativeBoundary layers on your file geodatabase or update the definition query by replacing the {0} placeholder in your file geodatabase. The following LayerInfo table entries are affected: The value of field def_query should be the following:AU.AdministrativeBoundary.1stOrder
AU.AdministrativeBoundary.2ndOrder
AU.AdministrativeBoundary.3rdOrder
AU.AdministrativeBoundary.4thOrder
AU.AdministrativeBoundary.5thOrder
AU.AdministrativeBoundary.6thOrder"IFCID IN (SELECT RID FROM auAdmBoundaryL_nationalLevel where nationalLevel = '1stOrder')"
"IFCID IN (SELECT RID FROM auAdmBoundaryL_nationalLevel where nationalLevel = '2ndOrder')"
"IFCID IN (SELECT RID FROM auAdmBoundaryL_nationalLevel where nationalLevel = '3rdOrder')"
"IFCID IN (SELECT RID FROM auAdmBoundaryL_nationalLevel where nationalLevel = '4thOrder')"
"IFCID IN (SELECT RID FROM auAdmBoundaryL_nationalLevel where nationalLevel = '5thOrder')"
"IFCID IN (SELECT RID FROM auAdmBoundaryL_nationalLevel where nationalLevel = '6thOrder')"
Feature download service: download data not included in the MXD file
When publishing the feature download service, three stored queries are created by default to facilitate simple download of a predefined dataset, through stored query urn:x-ii:def:query:OGC-WFS::GetDatasetByCrs, even though the capability response only lists those layers that are available for download, and does not list other layers in the database. However, if the user knows the database, it is possible to download data that is not included in the .mxd file but in the same database through the service.
The current workaround is to delete the default stored query and create your own customized query.
WMTS service legend URL different from that used by ArcGIS Server WMTS
Currently, the INSPIRE WMTS service capability legend URL refers to the default INSPIRE style, while the WMTS service tile generation is based more on ArcMap symbology and does not recognize the INSPIRE default style. This leads to an inconsistency between WMTS map symbology and the legend URL in the capability response.
The current workaround is to customize the WMTS map symbology and tile generation to use the default INSPIRE style; the legend URL can also be customized.
INSPIRE download service requires an enterprise geodatabase
Currently the INSPIRE download service requires an enterprise geodatabase such as Oracle, SQL Server, or PostgreSQL. It does not work with geodatabase files.
Use an enterprise geodatabase such as PostgreSQL, Oracle, or SQL Server.
Atom download service get spatial dataset operation is redirected to the wrong URL when using ArcGIS Web Adaptor
When using the ArcGIS Web Adaptor, the URL returned by the get spatial dataset operation for the ATOM download service may be incorrect, specifically the prefix section of the URL.
The workaround is to copy the downloadable file into the ArcGIS Web Adaptor domain, make it available (for example, http://webadaptordomainname/myfile.zip), update the dataset ATOM XML accordingly, and republish the service.
INSPIRE download service GetCapabilities post operation gives a blank response if both caching and streaming are set to true
For INSPIRE download service, when both caching and streaming are set to true, the GetCapabilities post operation gives a blank response while the get operation is working properly.
The workaround is to set either cacheGetCapabilities or streamingEnabled to false using the ArcGIS Server REST admin page for the service (for example, http://my agsserver:6080/arcgis/admin/services/servicename.MapServer).
