Import a FeatureServer layer

GeoJibe can import a layer from an ArcGIS FeatureServer (or MapServer layer URL) and then convert, transform, or deliver it like any other dataset.

On the Canvas this Source is labeled ArcGIS. Saved connections and Classic call it FeatureServer.

Before you start

You need the FeatureServer URL, for example:

https://gis.example.com/arcgis/rest/services/City/Neighborhoods/FeatureServer

or a layer URL that already includes the layer id:

https://gis.example.com/arcgis/rest/services/City/Neighborhoods/FeatureServer/0

Import is for public services. GeoJibe does not ask for an ArcGIS token in the form.

1. Add ArcGIS

On the Canvas, add ArcGIS.

Paste the FeatureServer URL and click Connect. Choose the layer, then Import.

On Classic, use FeatureServer under or import from.

You can save the service URL as a Source and pick the layer each time you import. See Saved connections.

2. What Import does

GeoJibe reads the layer (paging through features as needed) and materializes it as a GeoPackage inside the workflow. After that, it behaves like an uploaded file: inspect, Transform fields, Convert, Destination.

If the layer advertises a CRS, that CRS is assigned on the materialized file.

3. Make any changes

Rename fields, convert format, or reproject as usual.

4. Run

Choose a Destination and click Run.

Limits

  • Very large layers can hit a feature count or size cap configured on the server
  • Private services return access denied
  • This is layer import, not a full ArcGIS editing client
