Merge
- URL:https://<parcelfabricservice-url>/merge
- Required Capability:ArcGIS Parcel Fabric
- Version Introduced:10.8
Description
Merge creates a new parcel by merging two or more existing parcels in the parcel fabric. Adjacent parcels can be merged to create a single parcel and disjoint parcels can be merged to create multipart parcels.
When merging parcels without an active record, parcel history will not be tracked and parcels won't be associated to the records that created or retired them. Learn more about merging parcels
Request parameters
Parameter | Details |
---|---|
gdbVersion | Parameter specifying the name of the geodatabase version (the default is the DEFAULT version). Syntax
|
sessionId | Parameter representing the token (guid) used to lock the version. If the calling client is editing a named version, the session ID is required. If the specified version is currently locked by any other session, the request will fail if the session ID is not provided or does not match the session ID that holds the exclusive lock. If the client is editing the default version, the session ID is not required. Syntax
|
parentParcels | Parameter representing the parent parcels to be merged. Syntax
|
record | Parameter for the unique identifier (guid) of the record being used for the merge. If missing, the merged parcel is not associated to any record and parcel lineage is not tracked. Syntax
|
targetParcelType | Parameter representing the target parcel type (ID) in which the new, merged parcel will be created. Syntax
|
mergeInto (Optional) | Parameter representing one of the parent parcels into which the other parcels will be merged. Merging parcels into existing parcels will not create historic parcels and parcel lineage will not be tracked. Syntax
|
defaultAreaUnit (Required) | Parameter representing the default area units to be used when calculating the stated area of the merged parcel. The stated area of the merged parcel will be calculated if the stated areas exist on the parcels being merged. Syntax
|
attributeOverrides (Required) | Parameter representing a list of attributes to override on the new merged parcel. Syntax
|
f | The response format. The default response format is html. Values: html | json |
Example usage
This example shows the steps for merging parcels using the merge operation.

- Start a service session on the version.
Request URL and parameters:
https://machine.domain.com/webadaptor/rest/services/CountyFabric/VersionManagementServer/versions/E4DAED9D-C859-489B-9053-767A45F1D97C/startReading f=json sessionId={02DB3EE7-17D4-47B2-AFD1-F8EAFA22584E}
- Start an edit session on the version.
Request URL and parameters:
https://machine.domain.com/webadaptor/rest/services/CountyFabric/VersionManagementServer/versions/E4DAED9D-C859-489B-9053-767A45F1D97C/startEditing f=json sessionId={02DB3EE7-17D4-47B2-AFD1-F8EAFA22584E}
- Merge two parcels into a single parcel. Override the Name, StatedArea and StatedAreaUnit attributes.
Request URL and parameters:
https://machine.domain.com/webadaptor/rest/services/CountyFabric/ParcelFabricServer/merge f=json gdbVersion=admin.Version1 sessionId={02DB3EE7-17D4-47B2-AFD1-F8EAFA22584E} parentParcels=[{"id":"{A6486E07-47A6-44B6-AEC1-84581489E17C}","layerId":"28"},{"id":"{A8888BF3-4EC0-440C-92AF-DED78210F94C}","layerId":"28"}] record={8CF6DC8D-41F4-4D75-93B5-87375BC8F9E3} targetParcelType=28 defaultAreaUnit=109405 attributeOverrides={"type":"PropertySet","propertySetItems":["name","0713210004","statedarea",15440.6,"statedareaunit",109406,"isseed",0]}
- If edits are complete, stop the edit session.
- Stop and release the service session.
