Python over CGI on IIS

Question

hi,

I have configure python to work over CGI on iis,

I got the script to work, but on top of it working relay slow , I keep getting some extra information when executing arcpy functions.

for example:

arcpy.FeatureClassToGeodatabase_conversion(Input_Features, msurvey_rashutnew_sde)

returns

\serverName\SurveyData\Survey_Template_3.gdb\PNT_TMP_3 Successfully converted: \serverName\PythonApp\msurvey@rashutnew.sde\PNT_TMP_3

so my script returns "invalid haderes".

is there another way to run python with arcpay on web page ?

thanks

iris

Hi , I’ve figured out the problem in the script . I seems that all “Server Object Extensions” are enabled by default , so , you only have to turn the “firstChild.data” to true. for extElement in extension.childNodes: # Disabled SOE. if extElement.tagName == 'Enabled': extElement.firstChild.data = 'true'‍‍‍‍ I don’t know if that is a bug or it’s supposed to be this way , but now it is working now(one script i can delete). Still My question stays the same, does anyone know why I am getting strange massage from python announcing its success? \serverName\SurveyData\Survey_Template_3.gdb\PNT_TMP_3 Successfully converted: \serverName\PythonApp\msurvey@rashutnew.sde\PNT_TMP_3 thanks iris

Hi Jonathan, I’ve used two steps for getting a “feature service” because I couldn’t modify the “SDDraft” to add “feature Access” to it. I followed the “Modify SDDraft example 4” and try to enable “FeatureServer”, it didn’t work , so I went ahead and modified it through rest. In regards to the use of one html page, it is needed since this workflow is part of a big “Javascript api” application. This is the script I used. import arcpy, os, sys import xml.dom.minidom as DOM wrkspc = "c:\SurveyData\" mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(r"C:\SurveyData emp.mxd") mxd.saveACopy(r"c:\SurveyData esting1.mxd") print mxd.filePath inFC = "Database Connections\msurvey@rashutnew.sde\MSURVEY.PNT_TMP_1" arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(inFC, "TestData") mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(r"c:\SurveyData esting.mxd") df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd)[0] lyrLayer =arcpy.mapping.Layer("TestData") arcpy.mapping.AddLayer(df, lyrLayer, "AUTO_ARRANGE") ##mxd.save() mxd.saveACopy(r"c:\SurveyData opublish1.mxd") del mxd con = "Database Connections\arcgis on gis-develop (admin)" mapDoc=r"c:\SurveyData opublish1.mxd" ### Provide other service details service = 'TestSurIris3' sddraft = wrkspc + service + '.sddraft' sd = wrkspc + service + '.sd' print sd summary = 'General reference map Test ssdraft' tags = 'TEST' # Create service definition draft arcpy.mapping.CreateMapSDDraft(mapDoc, sddraft, service, 'ARCGIS_SERVER', con, False, None, summary, tags) # The Server Object Extension (SOE) to enable. soe = 'FeatureServer' # Read the sddraft xml. doc = DOM.parse(sddraft) # Find all elements named TypeName. This is where the server object extension (SOE) names are defined. typeNames = doc.getElementsByTagName('TypeName') for typeName in typeNames: # Get the TypeName we want to disable. if typeName.firstChild.data == soe: extension = typeName.parentNode for extElement in extension.childNodes: # Disabled SOE. if extElement.tagName == 'Disabled': extElement.firstChild.data = 'true' # Output to a new sddraft. outXml = wrkspc +'TestSurIris3ForWeb.sddraft' sd=wrkspc+'TestSurIris3ForWeb.sd' f = open(outXml, 'w') doc.writexml( f ) f.close() # Analyze the service definition draft analysis = arcpy.mapping.AnalyzeForSD(outXml) # Print errors, warnings, and messages returned from the analysis print "The following information was returned during analysis of the MXD:" for key in ('messages', 'warnings', 'errors'): print '----' + key.upper() + '---' vars = analysis[key] for ((message, code), layerlist) in vars.iteritems(): print ' ', message, ' (CODE %i)' % code print ' applies to:', for layer in layerlist: print layer.name, print # Stage and upload the service if the sddraft analysis did not contain errors if analysis['errors'] == {}: # Execute StageService. This creates the service definition. arcpy.StageService_server(outXml, sd) # Execute UploadServiceDefinition. This uploads the service definition and publishes the service. arcpy.UploadServiceDefinition_server(sd, con) print "Service successfully published" else: print "Service could not be published because errors were found during analysis." print arcpy.GetMessages()‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Can you clarify the following two points?

2. Create feature service from that layer on ArcGis Server using arcpy.

3. Since there is no other why to add feature access to service, this step is adding it through modifying Json of the service using "rest api ".

Using the CreateMapSDDraft tool, you're able to modify the sddraft to enable the feature access capability.  When you stage the SD file and then upload it, the resulting service will have feature access enabled.

In regards to running them through an HTML page, is that so you can start the process from anywhere?
