arcgisjobs URL

DaveHighness

Hi, I've been trying to figure out the URL to download a PDF that I create in a GP Script that gets put into the Jobs folder. I can see that PDF in the folder but I cannot figure out the URL to download it.

Physical Path:
\arcgisserver\directories\arcgisjobs\gptasks\createpdf_gpserver\jdbb9112ceca04162ba591391b5151305\scratch\EditorMap_20121120_141837.pdf

What I think the URL should be:
http://sitehost:6080/arcgis/rest/directories/arggisjobs/gptasks/createpdf_gpserver/jdbb9112ceca04162ba591391b5151305/scratch/EditorMap_20121120_141837.pdf

From the help I think this should do it. I always get an "Error Code:500" back from the ArcGIS REST Framework. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks, Dave

You dont have to pass any URLs in your Python code -all the parameter output locations between the service and the REST are handled by the framework.

By setting a file as the output type in your Python script / tool, (using the SetParameterAsText), it just comes back. You dont need to worry about URLs and virtual directories here.

If you have a tool that runs fine inside ArcMap and returns a PDF, and then you publish it as a service and THAT runs fine when you consume it in ArcMap, you've done everything you need.

All you need to do is to get the output in your javascript application.

From the first link's web application, the code to do this:

function gpJobComplete(jobInfo) {     if (jobInfo.jobStatus == "esriJobSucceeded")     { gp.getResultData(jobInfo.jobId, "Output"); }       else {           showDialog(dojo.string.substitute('<a href=${url} target="_blank">Job failed</a>', { url: gp.url + "/jobs/" + jobInfo.jobId }));         } }  function gpResultDataComplete(result) {     showDialog(dojo.string.substitute('<center><a href=${url} target="_blank">Download Map</a></center>', { url: result.value.url })); }
