Publish geoprocessing service with generic featureset schema?

Question

Hi All,

I have a geoprocessing tool that will work on any featureset I provide it in the tool window.  But when I publish the tool as service, the schema gets locked to the exact match of the features I used to run the tool for publishing.  Then it's not at all generic for the needs of the service.

Is there an 'empty schema' that can be used to run the tool for publishing or a way to tell the publisher to ignore the schema?

Thanks

Fred

Thanks DEWright_CA.  Yes been there done that, this appears to be more in the compiled tbx that's produced for the service rather than the python I can manipulate.  The data/schema is already modify by the time the script receives it.

Did you realize that you can go to the AGS site folder where the geoprocessing script is published and update the script post publish?

I have several where the publishing process replaces variables to make them hardcoded; that I then went into and replaced them to make them actual variables and that worked great.

Take a look at the published script as a starting point.
