Description:

Projection coordinate system to which layers in an ArcIMS service are projected.

Restrictions:

In a request or in a map configuration file, either id or string must be present, but not both.
In a SERVICINFO response, both id and string may be present in the response.
- For ArcMap Image Services, both id and string are returned unless the projection string has been modified. In this case, only string is returned.
- For Image and Feature Services, if id is present, then only id is returned in the response. If string is present, both string and id are returned unless the projection string has been modified. In this case, only string is returned.
For datum transformations either datumtransformid or datumtransformstring is used, but not both.
In ArcMap Image Services, datumtransformid or datumtransformstring are not valid.

Notes:

For a complete list of supported IDs and definition strings, see:
- Projected Coordinate Systems Listing [Sorted by projection ID] [Sorted by name]
- Geographic Coordinate Systems Listing [Sorted by projection ID] [Sorted by name]
- Datum Transformation Listing [Sorted by projection ID] [Sorted by name]
When using definition strings, the quotes in the string must be changed to " so the ArcIMS Spatial Server can interpret the string correctly. For example, the definition string for World Mollweide is:

PROJCS["World_Mollweide",GEOGCS["GCS_WGS_1984",DATUM["D_WGS_1984",SPHEROID["WGS_1984",6378137,298.257223563]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],UNIT["Degree",0.017453292519943295]],PROJECTION["Mollweide"],PARAMETER["False_Easting",0],PARAMETER["False_Northing",0],PARAMETER["Central_Meridian",0],UNIT["Meter",1]]

Once the quotes have been changed, the string looks like this:

PROJCS["World_Mollweide",GEOGCS["GCS_WGS_1984",DATUM["D_WGS_1984",SPHEROID["WGS_1984",6378137,298.257223563]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],UNIT["Degree",0.017453292519943295]],PROJECTION["Mollweide"],PARAMETER["False_Easting",0],PARAMETER["False_Northing",0],PARAMETER["Central_Meridian",0],UNIT["Meter",1]]
The attributes datumtransformid and datumtransformstring are used when datum transformation information needs to be included. Only datum transformations to and from WGS 1984 are supported.
- When these attributes are used with COORDSYS and FILTERCOORDSYS, the datum transformation is from a non-WGS 1984 datum to WGS 1984. For example, Pulkovo_1942_To_WGS_1984 (datumtransformid="8157") transforms data from Pulkovo 1942 to WGS 1984.
- When these attributes are used with FEATURECOORDSYS, the datum transformation is from WGS 1984 to a non-WGS 1984 datum. In the above example, the datum transformation is from WGS 1984 to Pulkovo 1942.
In a map configuration file, if FEATURECOORDSYS is used, then FILTERCOORDSYS should also be included.
If a service with FEATURECOORDSYS is used in the ArcIMS HTML Viewer, ArcIMS Java Standard or Custom Viewers, or ArcExplorer 9, FEATURECOORDSYS and FILTERCOORDSYS must use the same value for id or string.
When in PROPERTIES, FEATURECOORDSYS defines the default coordinate system for all layers. Using FEATURECOORDSYS in SPATIALQUERY overrides the information in PROPERTIES.
This message is sent to the Administrator message console during service administration and usually means no connection could be made to the ArcSDE server. Check that ArcSDE is running and that the WORKSPACE server, instance, database, user, and password are referenced correctly.
If a layer does not project, double check that a *.prj file or ArcSDE spatial reference table exists for the layer. If not, COORDSYS must be included with the layer.
