I've been writing a script to publish services, and I am getting stuck on setting dynamic layers on a map service in Manager
Enabling dynamic layers on a map service in Manager—Documentation (10.3 and 10.3.1) | ArcGIS for Server
I'd like to add this as a SOE I'm assuming to my script, but i'm not having any luck finding anything on how to do so.
I use a script to publish as well. What I shared was just a piece from the end of my script. We have been publishing this way for a couple of years. Works great. It takes a while to set up, but is well worth it in the end. Our GIS analysts use python toolboxes we developed to publish/update services on our test server. After some initial testing, the GIS manager uses other tools in the same toolset to migrate the changes to production. Everything is validated and logged, which make tracking down bugs pretty easy.
Can't figure out how to edit my comments, I'm trying to do the same in a python script that you use on a new service.
I think this is going to the me in the right direction, I'm trying to achieve the same with a python script. I'm trying to make it easier to ensure my GIS users are publishing new services. I've figured out the syntax for everything else though.
Here is a code sample demonstrating how to update service parameters after the service has been published.
#modify these to match your environment serverHost = 'yourgisServer.com' serverPort = 6080 serviceRelativePath = r'/services/serviceFolder/serviceName.MapServer' username = 'yourAdminName' password = 'yourAdminPW' # properites you would like to apply to the service newProperties = { "minInstancesPerNode": 1, "maxInstancesPerNode": 5, "properties": { "enableDynamicLayers": "true", "dynamicDataWorkspaces": "[{\"id\":\"wsName\",\"workspaceFactory\":\"SDE\",\"lockVersion\":\"false\",\"workspaceConnection\":\"connectionProps\"}]" } } import json import urllib import httplib # #################### # helper functions # #################### def getUpdatedDict(inDict,modDict): def _getPathsAndValuesFromModDict(d,parentDict): for k, v in d.iteritems(): if isinstance(v, dict): _getPathsAndValuesFromModDict(v,parentDict) else: parentDict = v _getPathsAndValuesFromModDict(modDict,inDict) return inDict def adminApiCall(strAdminApiUrl,objParams): def _getToken(): tokenURL = "/arcgis/admin/generateToken" params = urllib.urlencode({'username': username, 'password': password, 'client': 'requestip', 'f': 'json'}) headers = {"Content-type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded", "Accept": "text/plain"} httpConn = httplib.HTTPConnection(serverHost, serverPort) httpConn.request("POST", tokenURL, params, headers) response = httpConn.getresponse() if (response.status != 200): httpConn.close() return else: data = response.read() httpConn.close() # Check that data returned is not an error object if not _assertJsonSuccess(data): return # Extract the toke from it token = json.loads(data) return token['token'] def _assertJsonSuccess(data): obj = json.loads(data) if 'status' in obj and obj['status'] == "error": #print "Error: JSON object returns an error. " + str(obj) return False else: return True token = _getToken() if objParams: objParams['token'] = token objParams['f'] = 'json' else: objParams = {'token': token,'f': 'json'} params = urllib.urlencode(objParams) headers = {"Content-type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded", "Accept": "text/plain"} # Connect to URL and post parameters httpConn = httplib.HTTPConnection(serverHost, serverPort) httpConn.request("POST", r'/arcgis/admin'+ strAdminApiUrl, params, headers) # Read response response = httpConn.getresponse() if (response.status != 200): print response.status httpConn.close() output = "Error: Code "+str(response.status)+', '+str(response.reason) else: data = response.read() # Check that data returned is not an error object if not _assertJsonSuccess(data): obj = json.loads(data) output = obj['messages'] else: dataObj = json.loads(data) output = dataObj httpConn.close() try: if output[0] == u'Authorization failed. This user account does not have the required privileges to access this application.': return {'status':'error','msg':u'Authorization failed for user'} except: return output # #################### # end helper functions # #################### #fetch the parameters using the admin api serviceInfo = adminApiCall(serviceRelativePath,{'f':'json'}) #update new parameters using the new properties serviceInfo = getUpdatedDict(serviceInfo,newProperties) #apply the updated params adminApiCall('/services/test/testForDave.MapServer/edit',{'f':'json','service':json.dumps(serviceInfo)})
Modifying properties after the service is published is, in my opinion, easier than doing so via the sd or sddraft.
.mxd --> .sddraft --> .sd --> Service
We're at 10.1 SP1, and the work flow is the same. .mxd --> .sddraft --> .sd --> Service.
Regardless, what I'm suggest occurs after the service is published. I will see if I can scrape together a sample script.
Yeah that's the only part I've struggled with, I've setup a script that will disable KML, enable Feature Services and set Feature services to Query only in the .sddraft file prior to publishing. I just can't get the syntax to Enable Dynamic Workspaces.
Hi Jacob,
Not sure if you saw this link with some samples. You can edit the .sddraft file using the xml.dom.minidom library. I was able to figure out how to enable dynamic layers, but have not been successful is setting the dynamic workspaces. Below is an example:
sddraft = r"E:\Temp\Python\Airports.sddraft" doc = DOM.parse(sddraft) # edit configuration properties configProps = doc.getElementsByTagName('ConfigurationProperties')[0] propArray = configProps.firstChild propSets = propArray.childNodes for propSet in propSets: keyValues = propSet.childNodes for keyValue in keyValues: if keyValue.tagName == 'Key': if keyValue.firstChild.data == "enableDynamicLayers": keyValue.nextSibling.firstChild.data = "true" if keyValue.firstChild.data == "dynamicDataWorkspaces": #the below would fail keyValue.nextSibling.firstChild.data = '[{"id":"MyFileGDBWorkspaceID","workspaceFactory":"FileGDB","workspaceConnection":"DATABASE=E:\\Temp\\Python\\Test.gdb"}]' # output to a new sddraft outXml = r"E:\Temp\Python\Airports_New.sddraft" if os.path.exists(outXml): os.remove(outXml) f = open(outXml, 'w') doc.writexml( f ) f.close()
Hopefully a python expert can way in to see how to update the 'dynamicDataWorkspaces' portion of the sddraft file.
Yeah, I'm not sure this would work for 10.3.1.
10.3 uses the .mxd --> .sddraft --> .sd --> Service publishing path logic, not .mxd --> .msd --> .sd --> Service like 10.1 does.
Thanks though
BTW, our server is still at 10.1, but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't apply to 10.3.
We use scripts (python toolbox) to publish our map and geoprocessing services.
For most of our services, we use the default service setting. In order to set custom properties (like dynamic layers), we store the custom properties in a json config file. After the service is published, we fetch the service properties using the a call to the Admin API, edit the fetched json object using the stored file, then apply the edits by making another call to the Admin API.
