Unable to display Mapservice. Buffer operation failed

Error Message

When attempting to buffer features and select features from the same layer that are within the buffer, ArcIMS returns this message:"Unable to display Mapservice. Buffer operation failed."

Cause

ArcIMS Image Server creates dynamic layers to draw the buffered features, the buffers, and features selected by the buffers.

ArcMap Server does not create the dynamic layers needed to do this.
