Only a subset of the map layer types that you can create in ArcMap is supported in a mobile service published for ArcGIS Mobile applications. Those supported layers include the following:
ArcGIS layer type |
Supported |
Notes |
---|---|---|
Feature layer (point, line, polygon) |
Yes |
Simple feature layers are fully supported. |
Raster layer |
Yes |
Raster layers are supported within the mobile service cache. |
Annotation layer |
Yes |
Text-only support. Scale dependency is not supported at the subclass level. |
Map graphics layer |
No |
Graphic objects stored on the map display are not supported. |
IMS feature layer |
Yes |
IMS feature layers are treated as read-only simple feature layers. |
Image service layer |
Yes |
Raster layers served using the Image extension for ArcGIS Server are supported. |
Image service layer (ArcIMS, ArcGIS Online) |
Yes |
ArcGIS Online map services are supported. |
CAD feature layer |
Yes |
CAD feature layers are treated as read-only simple feature layers. |
CAD layer, CAD annotation layer |
No |
CAD text and the layer file itself are not supported. |
Raster Catalog layer |
No |
Raster catalog layers are not supported. |
Topology layer |
No |
Topology layers are not supported. |
Archive layer |
Yes |
Archive layers are treated as simple feature layers. |
Network analysis layer |
No |
Network analysis layers are dynamic, and results are stored in memory. They are not supported. |
Data Interoperability layer |
No |
Only direct-read layers are supported. |
WMS layer |
No |
WMS layers are not supported. |
WFS layer |
Yes |
Using the Data Interoperability extension only. |
OGC layer |
Yes |
Using the Data Interoperability extension only. |
Terrain layer |
No |
The breaklines and mass point feature layers that comprise a terrain layer are supported. The terrain layer itself is not. |
TIN layer |
No |
TIN layers are not supported. |
Coverage annotation layer |
No |
Coverage annotation layers are not supported. |
Dimension layer |
No |
Dimension layers are not supported. |
Tracking layer |
No |
Tracking layers created using Tracking Analyst are not supported. |
Representation layer |
No |
Feature layers cannot use representation rendering functionality. Overrides are not supported. |
Schematics layer |
No |
