Closest Facility Service with Asynchronous Execution

ShaunWeston

I've been trying to solve a closest facility task with asynchronous execution, but not having much luck so far. It's works fine for synchronous excecution

e.g. The below works fine on http://route.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/World/ClosestFacility/NAServer/ClosestFacility_World
but not
http://logistics.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/World/ClosestFacility/GPServer/FindClosestFacilities

// Push map click into incident parameter var features = []; features.push(location); var incidents = new esri.tasks.FeatureSet(); incidents.features = features; closestFacilityParams.incidents = incidents;   var inPoint = new esri.geometry.Point("1719868", "6047566", app.map.spatialReference); var location = new esri.Graphic(inPoint, configOptions.markerSymbol); var features = []; features.push(location); var facilities = new esri.tasks.FeatureSet(); facilities.features = features; closestFacilityParams.facilities = facilities;   closestFacilityTask.solve(closestFacilityParams, function (result) {    alert(result.routes.length); });

The reason I need use the async service is I have over 100 facilities.

Yeah I did manage to get it working. This is the function I used.

// Locate the closest feature function getClosestFeature(evt) {     // Setup the report progress bar and show it     $("#closestFeatureLoadBar").progressbar({         value: false     });     $("#closestFeatureLoadBar").show();       // Clear previous grpahics     app.map.graphics.clear();       // Get the map click point and add it as a location     var inPoint = new esri.geometry.Point(evt.mapPoint.x, evt.mapPoint.y, app.map.spatialReference);     var location = new esri.Graphic(inPoint, configOptions.markerSymbol);     // Add map click to map     app.map.graphics.add(location);     // Push map click into incident parameter     var features = [];     features.push(location);     var incidents = new esri.tasks.FeatureSet();     incidents.features = features;         // Get the facility features from the map service     var dataLayer = new esri.tasks.DataFile({         url: configOptions.facilitiesURL + "/query?where=1%3D1&returnGeometry=true&outFields=*&f=json"     });       // Setup the parameters for the closest facility     var closestFacilityParams = {         "incidents": incidents,         "facilities": dataLayer,         "cutoff": configOptions.cutOffTime,         "route_shape": "True Shape",         "populate_directions": true,         "directions_language": "en",         "directions_distance_units": "Meters",         "directions_style_name": "NA Desktop"     }       // Setup closest facility task     // If service is secure get token     var closestFacilityTask;

            closestFacilityTask.outSpatialReference = app.map.spatialReference;             // Submit the closest facility tool task             closestFacilityTask.submitJob(closestFacilityParams, completeCallback);         });     }     else {         closestFacilityTask = new esri.tasks.Geoprocessor(configOptions.closestFacilityService.url);         closestFacilityTask.outSpatialReference = app.map.spatialReference;         // Submit the closest facility tool task         closestFacilityTask.submitJob(closestFacilityParams, completeCallback, taskFailed);     }       // When task is complete     function completeCallback(jobInfo) {         // If job completed successfully         if (jobInfo.jobStatus !== "esriJobFailed") {             // When route and directions returned             closestFacilityTask.getResultData(jobInfo.jobId, "output_routes", getRoute);             closestFacilityTask.getResultData(jobInfo.jobId, "output_directions", getDirections);         }             // If failed         else {             // Show the error message - Get from job info messages             alert(configOptions.errorMessageText + jobInfo.messages[6].description);         }         // Hide progress bar         $("#closestFeatureLoadBar").hide();           // Go back to identify mode         clickmode = 'identify';         changeCursor(clickmode);     }       // Get route result     function getRoute(result) {         // For each of the features returned         $.each(result.value.features, function () {             // Add facility to map             var layerOID = this.attributes.FacilityID;
