Optional parameter to specify the response format. The default response format is html.

Values: html | json

This parameter is required.

Description: A batch of changes to apply to the editable layers in the service. Each layer can receive a distinct set of additions, updates, and deletions. The format of the change records depends on the layer type being edited.

• Event layer

  An event layer can receive a set of add, update, and delete records, a split event record, and a merge events record.

  Event records contain attributes (including measure values) but no geometry, and the attribute names are case sensitive.

  Control merge behavior for linear events using the allowMerge option, which can be set to true or false for each layer being edited. The default is false.

  If allowMerge is set to true for a linear event layer, each added record is inspected to determine whether it can be merged with any existing event record associated with the same route. Merging two records is possible only if their measure ranges are coincident or overlapping, and all other attribute values are the same. This behavior applies only to additions, not updates or deletions.

  Control retire overlap behavior for linear events using the retireMeasureOverlap option, which can be set to true or false for each layer being edited. The default is false.

  If retireMeasureOverlap is set to true for a linear event layer, each added record is inspected to determine whether it overlaps the measure range of any events associated with the same route. The overlapping portions of any existing events are retired, which entails updating the ToDate field value for that record. This behavior applies only to additions, not updates or deletions.

  Control retire by Event ID behavior using the retireByEventId option, which can be set to true or false for each layer being edited. The default is false.

  If retireByEventId is set to true for a point or linear event layer, any existing event records with the same event ID and temporality overlaps as the added records are retired.

  If an event layer is configured to store referent locations for each event record, the allowMerge and retireMeasureOverlap options preserve the referent location information of existing events whenever possible.

  Syntax for event layer edits:

  
  [
    { 
      "id" : <eventLayerId>,
      "allowMerge" : <true | false>,
      "retireMeasureOverlap" : <true | false>,
      "retireByEventId" : <true | false>,
      "adds" : [ <record1>, <record2>, ... ],
      "updates" : [ <record1>, <record2>, ... ],
      "deletes" : [ <record1>, <record2>, ... ],
      "splitEvent" : <record>,
      "mergeEvents" : <record>
    },
    {

      ...
    }
  }

  An update event record has the format shown below. Each record must contain at least the eventId property or the WHERE property to define the set of records to update. If the eventId property is specified, the optional fromDate property can be specified to uniquely identify a single record to update out of all the temporal records for a given eventId. The attributes object should contain only those attribute values that are to be updated. Attribute names are case sensitive.

  
  {

      "<field2>" : <value2>,
      ...
    }
  }

  A delete event record has the format shown below. Each record must contain at least the eventId property or the WHERE property to define the set of records to delete. If the eventId property is specified, the optional fromDate property can be specified to uniquely identify a single record to delete out of all the temporal records for a given eventId.

  
  {
    "eventId" : <eventId>,  // string or number value
    "fromDate" : <fromDate>,  // date value
    "where" : "<whereClause>"

      ...
    }
  }

  A merge event record has the format shown below. The record must contain objectIds, objectIdToPreserve, fromDate, and toDate properties. The toDate property is optional and is assumed null if not specified. The attributes object is optional and should contain attribute values for the new event record after merge. If attributes object is not provided, attributes of the preserve event will be used. Attribute names are case sensitive.

  
  {
    "objectIds" : [<objectId1>, <objectId2>, ...], // two or more object IDs to merge
    "objectIdToPreserve" : <objectId>,  // object ID of preserve event

  ]

  A create route record has the format shown below. The attributes object must include a route name and can optionally include route from and to dates, and any other fields from the network layer except route ID, line ID, and line order. If the network layer represents a line network, the attributes must include a line name.

  }

  An extend route record has the format shown below. The newRouteAttributes object must include a route name and can optionally include any other fields from the network layer except route ID, line ID, line name, line order, from date, and to date. Those fields are automatically derived from other request properties and from the route being edited. Optionally, the flippedCenterlineObjectIds object includes a list of centerline object IDs to reverse its direction in memory.

    "newRouteAttributes" : [
      // either a single attributes object, or one per reassigned source route
      // if only a single object and there are multiple source routes, then merging occurs
      // attributes must include route name, but not route ID, line ID, or line order
      { "<field>" : <value>, "<field>" : <value>, ... },
      { "<field>" : <value>, "<field>" : <value>, ... },
      { "<field>" : <value>, "<field>" : <value>, ... },
      ...
    ]
  }

    "retireDate" : <date>,
    "routeId" : <routeId>,
    "toRouteId" : <routeId>
  }

    "toDate" : <toDate>, // date value
    "recalibrateRouteDownstream" : <recalibrateRouteDownstream> // boolean value
    "retire": <retire> // boolean value. defaults to false
  }

  An update calibration point record has the format shown below. Each record must contain at least an Object ID attribute value to update a calibration point. Although the attribute values for From Date, To Date, Measure, and Recalibrate Route Downstream are optional, at least one attribute value must be passed along with the Object ID attribute.

  
  {
    "objectId" : <objectId>,
    "fromDate" : <fromDate>,  // date value
    "toDate" : "<toDate>", // date value
    "measure" : <measure>,
    "recalibrateRouteDownstream" : <recalibrateRouteDownstream> // boolean value
  }

  A delete calibration point record has the format shown below. Each record must contain at least an Object ID attribute value to delete a calibration point.

  
  {
    "objectId" : <objectId>
  }

• Centerline layer

  A centerline layer supports splitting a centerline at a specific location. These edits must be performed separately and should not be combined with network (route), event, or calibration point edits.

  Syntax for centerline layer edits:

  
  [
    {
      "id": <centerlineLayerId>,
      "splitCenterline": <record>
    },
    ...
  ]

  A splitCenterline record has the format shown below:

  
  {
    "objectId": oid,
    "geometry": {"x":<x>,
      "y":<y>,
      "spatialReference":<spatialReference>
   }
  }

  A splitCenterlinesIntoSingleparts record has the format shown below. This API separates the component parts of a multipart feature into singlepart features while maintaining the underlying network to centerline relationship.

  
  {
    "objectIds": [<oid1>, <oid2>, ..]
  }

Optional parameter to specify the geodatabase version to use. If this parameter is not specified, the published map's version is used.

Syntax: gdbVersion=<version>

Example: gdbVersion="user1.version1"

Optional parameter to specify whether the response reports the time edits that were applied. If returnEditMoment=true, the server returns the time edits that were applied in the response's editMoment key. The default value is false.

Values: true|false

This parameter was added at 10.6.1.

Optional parameter set by a client during long transaction editing on a branch version. The sessionId parameter value is a GUID that clients establish at the beginning and use throughout the edit session. The sessonId parameter ensures isolation during the edit session.

Syntax: sessionId=<guid>

Example: sessionId="{E81C2E2D-C6A7-40CB-BF61-FB499E53DD1D}"

This parameter was added at 10.6.1.

Optional parameter that returns features edited due to the geodatabase behavior that results from applying the edits. For example, if a feature is deleted and it is the origin in a composite relationship, the destination feature is automatically deleted from the geodatabase. If returnServiceEditsOption is set to originalAndCurrentFeatures, the deleted destination feature is returned along with a reference to the deleted original feature in the response. Note that, even for deletions, the geometry and attributes of the edited feature are returned.

Results returned from applyEdits are organized layer by layer. If returnServiceEditsOption is set to originalAndCurrentFeatures, each layer can have edited features returned in an editedFeatures object.

Service-level applyEdits response structure:

[
  {
    id
    addResults
    updateResults
    deleteResults
    attachments: {
      addResults
      updateReults
      deleteResults
    }
    editMoment
    editedFeatures
    exceededTransferLimit
  },
  {
  ...
  }
]

The editedFeatures object returns full features, including the original features prior to deletion, the original and current features for updates, and the current rows for inserts that can contain implicit changes (for example, as a result of a calculation rule).

editedFeatures response structure:

{
  "editedFeatures": [
    {
      "adds": [ <feature1>, <feature2>], 	// current features
      "updates": [[<originalFeature3>, < currentFeature3>], [<originalFeature4>, < currentFeature4>]],
      "deletes": [ <feature5>, <feature6>]	// original features
    },
  ]
}

The response includes no editedFeatures values and exceededTransferLimit=true if the count of edited features to return is more than the maxRecordCount value. If clients are using this parameter to maintain a cache, they should invalidate the cache when exceededTransferLimit=true is returned. If the server encounters an error when generating the list of edits in the response, exceededTransferLimit=true is also returned.

Edited features are returned in the spatial reference of the feature service as defined by the services spatialReference object or by the spatialReference value of the layers extent object.

The default value is none, which does not include editedFeatures values.

Values: none|originalAndCurrentFeatures

This parameter was added at 10.6.1.
