Summarize Attributes using ExecuteToolAsync

PeteVitt

Hi  - I'm not having success running the Summarize Attributes tool in the GeoAnalytics Desktop Tools using ExecuteToolAsync in ArcPro sdk 3.0. Below is my code.  Am I approaching this the correct way? I'm not sure if the tool name is correct, and I don't think the parameters I'm passing are correct either 

//summarize landscape classifications
var progSumDlg = new ProgressDialog("Running Geoprocessing Tool", "Cancel", 100, true);
progSumDlg.Show();
var sum_tool_name = "geoanalytics.Summarize";
//layer to summarize
var summarizeLayer = MapView.Active.Map.GetLayersAsFlattenedList().OfType<FeatureLayer>().First(l => l.Name.Equals("test_clip"));
//field to classifiy and field to get stats for
Table table = summarizeLayer.GetTable();
TableDefinition tableDefinition = table.GetDefinition();
Field classField = tableDefinition.GetFields().FirstOrDefault(x => x.Name.Contains("Class_name"));
Field statField = tableDefinition.GetFields().FirstOrDefault(x => x.Name.Contains("Ft2"));
//output table
var out_table = System.IO.Path.Combine(gdb, "test_clip_summary");
var sum_params = await QueuedTask.Run(() =>
{
return Geoprocessing.MakeValueArray(new object[] { summarizeLayer, out_table, classField, statField});
});

await Geoprocessing.ExecuteToolAsync(sum_tool_name, sum_params,
null, new CancelableProgressorSource(progSumDlg).Progressor, GPExecuteToolFlags.Default);

 

thanks

First thing I notice is that the toolname is "SummarizeAttributes" rather than "Summarize" as u have it so that needs to be changed.

Second thing I noticed was that using the toolname "geoanalytics.SummarizeAttributes" I actually got a _server_ flavor of the tool and not the _desktop_ flavor (not that I knew there were two as I am not personally familiar with the Geoanalytics toolbox).

I wonder if you have a similar issue and are invoking the Geoanalytics server tool and not the desktop tool?

Well, eventually, I ended up with a toolname of "gapro.SummarizeAttributes" which seemed to do the trick and invoke the desktop toolbox. You can try my code below. (I am using the "Interacting with Maps.gdb\Crimes" dataset from the pro community sample data fyi).

internal class GPTestButton : Button {

  protected async override void OnClick()
  {
     var sum_tool_name = "gapro.SummarizeAttributes";
     //var sum_tool_name = "geoanalytics.SummarizeAttributes";
     var extent = MapView.Active.Extent;
     var summarizeLayer = MapView.Active.Map.GetLayersAsFlattenedList()
            .OfType<FeatureLayer>().FirstOrDefault(l => l.Name == "Crimes");
     if (summarizeLayer == null) return;

     var gdb = Project.Current.DefaultGeodatabasePath;
     //output table
     var out_table = System.IO.Path.Combine(gdb, "crimes_summary");

     var fields = new List<string>() { "Major_Offense_Type", "Police_Precinct" };
     var summary_fields = new List<string>() { "Major_Offense_Type COUNT" };

     var sum_params = await QueuedTask.Run(() =>
     {
        return Geoprocessing.MakeValueArray(
           new object[] { summarizeLayer, out_table, fields, summary_fields });
     });

     await Geoprocessing.ExecuteToolAsync(sum_tool_name, sum_params,
               null, CancelableProgressor.None,
               GPExecuteToolFlags.InheritGPOptions);
     //Or open the dialog
     //Geoprocessing.OpenToolDialog(sum_tool_name, sum_params);
  }
}

 

Gives:

This is the tool dialog invoked via Geoprocessing.OpenToolDialog

 

Note: To resolve the toolname I had to look in the GP tool cache to see what it (GP) was looking for. You can find that here: C:\Users\your_username\AppData\Local\ESRI\Local Caches. Despite their rather intimidating appearance they are just text files. Just drag and drop one of them into notepad. I searched for "SummarizeAttributes" and came up with two hits: "geoanalytics.SummarizeAttributes" and "gapro.SummarizeAttributes". As I had already tried "geoanalytics.SummarizeAttributes", I went with the other one.
