WORKSPACES

WORKSPACES

Used in: CONFIG   REQUEST   MARKUP
Servers: Image   Query   Feature   Extract   Geocode   Metadata (Publish)
Parent elements: GET_IMAGE   MAP   MARKUP   METADATA_CONFIG   RESET

<WORKSPACES >
     No Attributes

     When parent element is MAP in a map configuration file, GET_IMAGE, GET_EXTRACT:
     (m) <IMAGEWORKSPACE... />
     (m) <SDEWORKSPACE... />
     (m) <SHAPEWORKSPACE... />

     When parent element is MAP in a viewer configuration file:
     (m) <AVIMSWORKSPACE... />
     (m) <FEATURESERVERWORKSPACE... />
     (m) <IMAGESERVERWORKSPACE... />
     (m) <IMAGEWORKSPACE... />
     (m) <MOIMSWORKSPACE... />
     (m) <SDEWORKSPACE... />
     (m) <SHAPEWORKSPACE... />

     When parent element is MARKUP:
     (m) <FEATURESERVERWORKSPACE... />

     When parent element is METADATA_CONFIG or RESET used with the Metadata Server:
     <SDEWORKSPACE... />

</WORKSPACES >

(m): Child element can be used multiple times.

Description:

Specifies a collection of workspaces or directories where the data is located.

Restrictions:

At least one workspace should be defined in the WORKSPACES element, or no map is generated.
All DATASET layer names referenced throughout the configuration file or request must be included in WORKSPACES.
The child elements FEATURESERVERWORKSPACE, IMAGESERVERWORKSPACE, MOIMSWORKSPACE, and AVIMSWORKSPACE can only be used in viewer configuration files such as default.axl from ArcIMS Designer or output from ArcExplorer 4 or the ArcIMS Java Viewers. They cannot be used in a map configuration file.
Not valid with ArcMap Server.

Notes:

If a layer does not show up as expected, double-check that the WORKSPACES directory information is correct for that layer.
When adding dynamic layers in a request with a new workspace, the WORKSPACE for the data location should be included in the map configuration file instead of the request.
For additional information on using WORKSPACES in configuration files, see Using Configuration Files.

Examples for WORKSPACES:

Example 1: When in CONFIG and REQUEST.
