Your layer has a definition query and you are publishing a service with Feature Access (feature service) enabled.
Solution
- One way to keep the definition expression in the layer you want to publish is to create a view. A view is a stored query that selects data from specified tables.

More information
When you specify a dataset that you want to draw as a map layer, you often only want to draw some of the features in the dataset. In these situations, you can define a query expression to select a subset of features for the layer display. This is referred to as a definition expression or definition query.
