Hi,
I created a custom Python toolbox that has a tool that publishes mxd's on a certain ArcGIS Server. Both Desktop and Server are 10.4.1.
Manually using the wizard in ArcMap I can publish all mxd, but when trying to publish a mxd that has a source referenced using an UNC path, the stage service tool fails. It says the source of the items referenced using UNC paths cannot be found (= code 3). Odd, as I can publish using the wizard and get no errors when analyzing. The source location is added to the data store.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\projects\python_library_gis-toolset\migratieTools\migratieTools\migratieTools.py", line 1039, in publishMxd
arcpy.StageService_server(out_sddraft_edit,out_sd)
File "c:\program files (x86)\arcgis\desktop10.4\arcpy\arcpy\server.py", line 1332, in StageService
raise e
ExecuteError: ERROR 001272: Analyzer errors were encountered (codes = 3).
Failed to execute (StageService).
As I can manually publish using the wizard in ArcMap, I assume all configuration is OK. I doublechecked and all seems indeed OK.
I do analyze the sddraft and it gives no errors, not in ArcMap, not in Python. Off course I get the warnings about the UNC paths.
So I created a sddraft using the wizard in ArcMap (to be sure both in Python and ArcMap use the same sddraft file) and used this as an input for the stage service tool. Again, it fails (code 3). So I assume the sddraft is ok, but the issue is in the stage service tool, which is somehow working differently than staging a service using the wizard.
What bothers me most is why can I publish using the wizard and not using the tool? Shouldn't these work the same way?
What do I miss?
