Query Related Records (Operation)
URL http://<dynamic-layer-url>/queryRelatedRecords
Parent Resource Dynamic Layer / Table
Required Capability Data

Description

This operation is supported from 10.1 onwards.

The query related records operation is performed on a dynamic layer / table resource, of type mapLayer. The result of this operation is one or more featuresets grouped by source layer / table object IDs. Each featureset contains Feature objects including the values for the fields requested by the user. For related layers, if you request geometry information, the geometry of each feature is also returned in the featureset. For related tables, the featureset does not include geometries.

Note:

You can provide arguments to the query related records operation as query parameters defined in the parameters table below.

Parameters

Parameter Details
layer // Required parameter

Description: Use this parameter to define a "dynamic layer". Only dynamic map layers are supported.

Note:
  • id and definitionExpression are optional.
  • Use "gdbVersion" on dynamic map layer definition to specify an alternate geodatabase version.
Syntax: 
{
    "id": <layerOrTableId>, // optional
    "source": <layer source>, // only dynamic map layers are supported
    "definitionExpression": "<definitionExpression>" // optional
}
Example: 
{
  "id": 101,
  "source":
  {
    "type": "mapLayer",
    "mapLayerId": 0,
    "gdbVersion": "SDE.DynamicLayers"
  },
  "definitionExpression": "LotSize > 5000"
}
f Description: The response format. The default response format is html.

Values: html | json | amf
objectIds Description: The object IDs of this layer / table to be queried. Records related to these object IDs will be queried.

Syntax: objectIds=<objectId1>, <objectId2>

Example: objectIds=37, 462
relationshipId Description: The ID of the relationship to be queried. The relationships that this layer / table participates in are included in the Layer / Table Resource response. Records in tables / layers corresponding to the related table / layer of the relationship are queried.

Example: relationshipId=4
outFields Description: The list of fields from the related table / layer to be included in the returned featureset. This list is a comma delimited list of field names. If you specify the shape field in the list of return fields, it is ignored. To request geometry, set returnGeometry to true.

You can also specify the wildcard "*" as the value of this parameter. In this case, the results will include all the field values.

Example: outFields=AREANAME,ST,POP2000
Example (wildcard usage): outFields=*
definitionExpression Description: The definition expression to be applied to the related table / layer. From the list of records that are related to the specified objectIds, only those records that conform to this expression will be returned.

Example: definitionExpression=POP2000 > 100000
returnGeometry Description: If true, the featureset includes the geometry associated with each feature. The default is true.

Note that this parameter only applies to related layers. It will be ignored for related tables.

Values: true | false
maxAllowableOffset //This option was added at 10.0

Description: This option can be used to specify the maximum allowable offset to be used for generalizing geometries returned by the query related records operation.

The maxAllowableOffset is in the units of the outSR. If outSR is not specified then maxAllowableOffset is assumed to be in the unit of the spatial reference of the map.

Example: maxAllowableOffset=2
geometryPrecision Description: This option can be used to specify the number of decimal places in the response geometries returned by the queryRelatedRecords operation.

This applies to X and Y values only (not m or z-values).

Example: geometryPrecision=3
outSR Description: The spatial reference of the returned geometry.

The spatial reference can be specified as either a well-known ID or as a spatial reference json object.

If outSR is not specified, the geometry is returned in the spatial reference of the map.

Note that this parameter only applies to related layers. It will be ignored for related tables.
returnZ Description: If true, Z values will be included in the results if the features have Z values. Otherwise Z values are not returned. The default is false.

Note this parameter only applies if returnGeometry is true.
returnM Description: If true, M values will be included in the results if the features have M values. Otherwise M values are not returned. The default is false.

Note this parameter only applies if returnGeometry is true.
