001363 : Failed to update service definition with configuration overwrite.

Description

When publishing a precreated service definition file (.sd) with Manager (or by right-clicking a service definition file using ArcGIS for Desktop) you can change specific configuration properties. For example, you can change the service folder or service name. This generates a separate configuration "overwrite" that is sent as a publish parameter to the server. The server-side publishing tool returns this error when it can't deserialize that configuration overwrite.

This server system tool is invoked by the publishing client (Manager or ArcGIS for Desktop) when you create a service.

Solution

Publish without the change to the configuration properties. If you want to make changes to the configuration properties, you may have to re-create the service definition file (.sd) file using ArcGIS for Desktop.
