Process Notifier - Develop a notification service for ArcCatalog

JanosSteiner

Hi Developers !

Keywords : ModelBuilder, filegeodatabase, national datasets - DEM, Hydrology

This question arised from my practical work at the County Administrative Board of Sweden. I am dealing with long and demanding analyses, which needs often lots of data and time ( between few hours to couple of days) and it can happen a full stop/break

on my workstations caused by diverse failures (data bugs, overflow, unexpected etc)

My question is next :

• Is it possible to develop a "Process Notification" service, which can send an e-mail or sms from ArcCatalog to a choosen optional device about the actual status , i.e. Reporting the status in a brief form : [1] Finished [2] Break or Failure [3] Estimated time left to be finished.

Grateful for your response,

Sincerely, J.Steiner

Hi,

This tool can help to the certain extent, but it is not offering 100% success to control an application running

on a distant machine. Use this tool "AS-IS" to achive experiences with your applications resource consumption behavior

and to make your work probably a bit convenient.

Short description:

The philosophy behind this solution is to help users which aiming to control an application running on the distant computer. The notification system uses desktop screenshots via E-mail.

This application offering a MEM [ Megabytes] and CPU [ % ] "mapping" tool which calculates the MEM and CPU consumption mean values from a list of discrete MEM and CPU registrated in every 1 sec values within the user defined intervals of "trigger time". The exported plot file's csv format is an easy-to-use alternative in statistical analyses.

The resource "mapping" process gives realistic peak-values, which can be useful to estimate, for the choosen process, optimal Filter-settings. If any of the criterias from the Filter fulfilled or according to the user defined time intervals duration, an e-mail notification will be sent to user's mailbox.

The only progress notifier (bar) that they have is described here

Controlling the progress dialog box—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop and

SetProgressor—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop but perhaps not appropriate or too limiting for what you want to do.

I am thinking on a generic solution. Did some experiments to measure resource usage (consumption) variations while ModelBuilder is running with a task in ArcCatalog. It is not easy to find a comprehensive rule. I thought, it is eligible to check when the resource usage in Windows OS with ArcCatalog has no changes, i.e no variations in resource consumption, for example during "X" minutes. This can be an indicator for "operation fulfilled" or "blocked system".

It is very strange, ESRI has not developed such practical tool in "Geoprocessing options" or as a Model Builder's optional tool. Working with large and continuous datasets, even an average user has no time anymore to spend endless hours with "watching & waiting". This category of tools is a brilliant possibility to spare much of time and energy.

I am curious of your a service to send an e-mail or sms from ArcCatalog requirement. Could you elaborate. Wouldn't adding a send email/sms/twilio step in Arcpy be adequate in your case.

good.... now place that in the title section when you edit your post
