Limit geoprocessing service working extent

mody_buchbinder

Hello all

When you use query in WAB you get an option to limit the selection to the current
extent or any polygon.

I could not find any way to do the same for geoprocessing service.

For example I would like to buffer just lines in the current extent.

Is there any way to add this option in the service or in WAB?

Thanks

Mody

Hi Mody,

I don't think there is a really easy way to that but this is what I would try.

Add another parameter to your service to specify processing extent of the geoprocessing service and implement it internally in the script/model used for the service.

Alternatively, if you are sending in the lines to buffer as a parameter, bounce them off the server's geometry service clip operation to clip them before you send them to the buffer service. Some client side APIs should support the clip operation so you could do the clipping on the client side. All this is of course viable only if you are dealing with fairly few and simple features.

Filip.
