Compatibility Between ArcGIS Desktop, ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Enterprise

When we publish web services from desktop applications (i.e. ArcMap and ArcGIS Pro) to ArcGIS Enterprise, ArcGIS Server web services transform our map content into web GIS resources. This transformation process is managed through service runtime. The behavior and functionalities of web services are determined by the service runtime and the version compatibility between our ArcGIS desktop application and ArcGIS Enterprise. Hence, we must consider the desktop products’ compatibility when publishing to ArcGIS Enterprise.

The following sections summarize the key publishing compatibility considerations when working with different versions of desktop and ArcGIS Enterprise products.

Publishing Spatial views as a Feature Access Service

Publishing Spatial views as a Feature Access Service

The following Blog will take you through the process of using ArcMap 10.x to publish a spatial view as a Feature Access service.

What is a database view?

Database views are database elements that store SQL query statements that act like tables.

Views can be used to join tables together, similar to joins in ArcMap. But because the view is stored in the database, it can be used by many users in many map documents. For example, frequently Census data is stored in a table separate from the Census geographies feature class. Using a view, all users given access will be able to create analytical maps based on Census data without having to create a join.
