Known limitations
See the following subsections for known limitations.
INSPIRE Classic Metadata v2 must be managed with Geoportal Server 2.x
You must use Geoportal Server 2.x to update and manage data and service metadata aligned with the INSPIRE Classic Metadata v2.0.1 requirements. If you have an existing INSPIRE Classic Geoportal Server 1.x instance installed and are considering upgrading to the INSPIRE Classic Geoportal Server 2.x, read the upgrade instructions.
INSPIRE Classic Download and View Services must be managed with ArcGIS Desktop
You must use ArcMap or ArcCatalog to manage INSPIRE Classic Download and View Services. ArcGIS Server Manager cannot be used to manage INSPIRE Classic Services.
Внимание:
Actions such as saving an INSPIRE Classic Service using ArcGIS Server Manager leads to a loss of some INSPIRE Classic specific properties.
View Service—GetFeatureInfo on mixed layer documents
An INSPIRE Classic GetFeatureInfo view service request on more than one query layer, which includes both INSPIRE Classic layers and other layers, returns the response regarding INSPIRE Classic layers only.
View Service—Use of INSPIRE Classic SLD files
INSPIRE Classic data specifications contain visualization rules that can't be expressed in SLD documents (see ProtectedSites layers).
If INSPIRE Classic does not find an SLD document for a specific layer, it uses the defined ArcMap visualization rules for both the INSPIRE Classic_COMMON:DEFAULT style and default styles.
INSPIRE Classic geodatabase—Profile of names and text strings
The INSPIRE Classic Geographical Names data specification allows the implementation of a simplified profile for the GeographicalName complex data type. In many cases, a simple implementation is sufficient and requires a significantly less complex model and database representation.
In the standard geodatabase template for the Annex 1 themes, the simplest profile, a text string, has been implemented; a second profile for a geographic named place has also been added. Refer to the Geodatabase Templates Installation Guide for details.
In the standard geodatabase for the Annex I themes, string-valued properties are limited to 255 characters and should be sufficient for most datasets. For datasets that require support for longer string-valued properties, contact Esri Technical Support.
INSPIRE Classic 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 Classic services only displays a black square
In rare cases, the INSPIRE Classic services extension configuration page in ArcCatalog only displays a black square when DirectDraw is enabled.
Complete these steps to disable DirectDraw:
- Start JavaConfigTool.
Примечание:
JavaConfigTool can be found at <Installation location>\ArcGIS\Desktop10.8\Bin\JavaConfigTool.exe.
- Uncheck the Use default check box.
- Type -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true in the Java VM arguments text box.
- Click OK.
- Restart ArcCatalog.
Running INSPIRE Classic View Services on a file geodatabase with administrative boundaries
The previous release of INSPIRE Classic introduced a way to dynamically qualify layer definition queries with a schema and user name if such a query contains references to other tables.
The following is an example of such a query:
IFCID IN (SELECT RID FROM {0}auAdmBoundaryL_nationalLevel where nationalLevel = '5thOrder')The placeholder string {0} is replaced with a qualifying string when creating an ArcMap layer. As file geodatabases do not need a qualifying prefix, the placeholder is replaced by an empty string. The software does not recognize this on service startup and won't enable this layer as an INSPIRE Classic layer.
Do not run ArcGIS for INSPIRE Classic 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:
AU.AdministrativeBoundary.1stOrder
AU.AdministrativeBoundary.2ndOrder
AU.AdministrativeBoundary.3rdOrder
AU.AdministrativeBoundary.4thOrder
AU.AdministrativeBoundary.5thOrder
AU.AdministrativeBoundary.6thOrderThe value of field def_query should be the following:
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')INSPIRE Classic 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's 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 is different than the one used by ArcGIS Server WMTS
Currently, the INSPIRE Classic WMTS service capability legend URL refers to the default INSPIRE Classic style, while the WMTS service tile generation is based more on ArcMap symbology and does not recognize the INSPIRE Classic 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 Classic style; the legend URL can also be customized.
INSPIRE Classic Download Service requires an enterprise geodatabase
Currently, the INSPIRE Classic Download Service requires an enterprise geodatabase such as Oracle, SQL Server, or PostgreSQL. It does not work with file geodatabases.
Use an enterprise geodatabase such as Oracle, SQL Server, or PostgreSQL.
The get spatial dataset operation for the Atom download service is redirected to the wrong URL when using ArcGIS Web Adaptor
When using 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 and make it available (for example, http://webadaptordomainname/myfile.zip), update the dataset Atom XML accordingly, and republish the service.
The GetCapabilities post operation for the INSPIRE Classic Download Service gives a blank response if both caching and streaming are enabled
When caching and streaming are enabled, the GetCapabilities post operation for the INSPIRE Classic Download Service 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://servername:6080/arcgis/admin/services/servicename.MapServer).
INSPIRE Classic Download and View Services no longer respond to the HTTP GET binding of the OGC WMS/WFS interface when Disable the Services Directory is enabled in ArcGIS Server
When the Services Directory Enabled option is unchecked in ArcGIS Server, INSPIRE Classic Download and View Services do not respond to the HTTP GET binding of the OGC WMS/WFS interface (f parameter required).
If you need to disable the service directory, there are some additional configuration steps, please refer to <Installation location>\ESRI\ArcGIS for INSPIRE\Patches\readme.txt for more information.
The Getfeaturebyid operation for INSPIRE Classic Download Services published from an MXD containing data from the HH data theme does not return results for some feature types
When an INSPIRE Classic Download Service is published from an MXD containing data from the HH data theme, the WFS Getfeaturebyid operation does not return results for some HH feature types that are related to statistical units, including hh:Biomarker and hh:aggregationUnit.
If you need to use the Getfeaturebyid operation for HH download services, please publish the HH data as a geodata service and then enable the download service option.
View and download service validation limitations
INSPIRE Classic released an updated validator right before the ArcGIS for INSPIRE Classic 10.8.2 product release. The INSPIRE Classic services were tested with the V2020.1.2 15/04/2020 release of the validator and the services passed most of the tests, but some tests returned errors.
These errors do not affect how the service works. We are continuing testing to determine the cause of the errors and will address them as necessary.

However, if the user knows the database, it's 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 Classic WMTS service capability legend URL refers to the default INSPIRE Classic style, while the WMTS service tile generation is based more on ArcMap symbology and does not recognize the INSPIRE Classic 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 Classic style; the legend URL can also be customized.
INSPIRE Classic download service requires an enterprise geodatabase
Currently, the INSPIRE Classic download service requires an enterprise geodatabase such as Oracle, SQL Server, or PostgreSQL. It does not work with file geodatabases.
Use an enterprise geodatabase such as Oracle, SQL Server, or PostgreSQL.
ATOM download service get spatial dataset operation is redirected to the wrong URL when using ArcGIS Web Adaptor
When using 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 and make it available (for example, http://webadaptordomainname/myfile.zip), update the dataset ATOM XML accordingly, and republish the service.
INSPIRE Classic download service GetCapabilities post operation gives a blank response if both caching and streaming are set to true
For the INSPIRE Classic 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://servername:6080/arcgis/admin/services/servicename.MapServer).
INSPIRE Classic view and download services no longer respond to the HTTP GET binding of the OGC WMS/WFS interface when Disable the Services Directory is enabled in ArcGIS Server
When the Services Directory Enabled option is unchecked in ArcGIS Server, INSPIRE Classic view and download services do not respond to the HTTP GET binding of the OGC WMS/WFS interface (f parameter required).
If you need to disable the service directory, there are some additional configuration steps, please refer to <Installation location>\ESRI\ArcGIS for INSPIRE\Patches\readme.txt for more information.
Getfeaturebyid operation for INSPIRE Classic download services published from an MXD containing data from the HH data theme does not return results for some feature types
When an INSPIRE Classic download service is published from an MXD containing data from the HH data theme, the WFS Getfeaturebyid operation does not return results for some HH feature types that are related to statistical units, including hh:Biomarker and hh:aggregationUnit.
If you need to use the Getfeaturebyid operation for HH download services, please publish the HH data as a geodata service and then enable the download service option.
