00102: Data frame does not contain a required layer type for <value> capability

The data frame does not contain a required layer type for the service capability you are publishing.

For example, WCS-capable services require that either a mosaic layer or a raster layer be present in the data frame being published. If you attempt to publish a data frame that does not contain either one, you will get this error when you analyze. The description will state "Data frame does not contain a required layer type for a WCS service" where <value> is the service type of service capability.

Solutions

More information

A layer represents geographic data in ArcMap, such as a particular theme of data. Examples of map layers include streams and lakes, terrain, roads, political boundaries, parcels, building footprints, utility lines, and orthophoto imagery. There are different kinds of layers. Some layers represent a particular type of geographic feature, while others represent a particular type of data. Each layer type has different mechanisms for displaying and symbolizing its contents and specific operations that you will perform against them.

This includes

  • Map Service with Feature Access capability
  • Map Service with WFS
  • Spatial data server (SDS)
  • Hosted Services with Feature Access capability

Feature Layer

A layer that references a set of feature (vector) data that represents geographic entities as points, lines, and polygons.

Feature services require that all layers and stand-alone tables in the service reference an enterprise geodatabase using a single connection.

If the feature layer's data source is something other than an enterprise geodatabase, such as a file geodatabase, feature class, or a shapefile, you can only publish a feature service using this data if you have registered a server-managed geodatabase with the ArcGIS server. In this case, the data your feature layers currently reference will be copied to the registered geodatabase when the map is published. The layers in the service will reference data from this geodatabase and not from the original data source.

Map Service with WCS capability

Mosiac layer or a Raster dataset

The source of the raster data can be a raster dataset (from a geodatabase or file on disk), a mosaic dataset, or a layer file referencing a raster dataset or mosaic dataset. Sharing raster datasets or raster layers that define on-the-fly processing, such as symbology or raster functions, is a core capability of image services and does not require an extension. The ArcGIS Server Image extension is required to share a mosaic dataset or a raster layer containing a mosaic function. This does not only affect the image service. For example, if you have a map document containing a mosaic dataset, you require the Image extension.

Map Service with Schematics capability

Schematics Layer

A schematic layer is a composite layer composed of feature layers based on the schematic feature classes associated with a schematic diagram template. Each schematic layer can reference one of the followings:

  • A schematic diagram
  • A schematic diagram template

Schematics services require that, at a minimum, the data frame you are publishing contains the reference source schematic datasets you will use in your service.

Map Service with Network Analysis capability

Network Analysis Layer

A network analysis layer stores the inputs, properties, and results of a network analysis. It contains an in-memory workspace with network analysis classes for each type of input as well as for the results. The features and records inside the network analysis classes are referred to as network analysis objects.
