Frequently asked question

Why do some ArcWeb Service error messages contain text in parentheses?

Answer

Error messages are designed to help you fix invalid requests to ArcWeb Services. If you include a value that a service doesn't recognize, it will return a message that includes valid values in parentheses. Refer to your request and select one option from the list in parentheses.

An example of this type of message is:

"Invalid map image format 'JPG2'. MapImageOptions.mapImageFormat not (png, png8, gif, jpg)."

For mapImageFormat, your requested value should be 'png', 'png8', 'gif', or 'jpg'.
