Bug ID Number BUG-000130619
SubmittedMay 5, 2020
Last ModifiedMarch 27, 2025
Applies toArcGIS Pro
Version found2.5
Operating SystemWindows OS
Operating System Version10.0
StatusAs Designed

Additional Information

The behavior is as designed. For reference services, a change in the domain values requires a service restart in order for the change to show up on the feature service layer resources. However, reference services also support the queryDomains operation for getting domain information. This returns the latest updates without requiring a service restart but not all clients use this operation.

Workaround

  • Restart the service from ArcGIS Server Manager.
  • Stop the service before adding the domain value in ArcGIS Pro, and start the service.
  • Use ArcMap or ArcCatalog to adjust the domain values, enabling updates by starting and stopping the service.
  • Use ArcGIS Pro to republish or overwrite the service.
  • Switch the service instance type from shared to dedicated.
