Hi Victor,   We have the same issue, but the arcgis.mapping  WebMap()  class has dependancies to ipython.  Any other ideas for how to interact with a webmap through wfastcgi and the api? ... View more

Hello. I have this issue too, any ideas anyone? Cheers! ... View more

Your code looks good. You mention other stuff also happens, perhaps your error is somehow there! You could try defining a feature layer in the script to see if that helps. (If you are running from desktop, it shouldn't make a difference) Make Feature Layer—Data Management toolbox | ArcGIS Desktop  ... View more

Ive done something similar using the approach below:  Simplify every parcel, to just 4 vertices     A quick and dirty method is to use minimum rectangle - by area. Minimum Bounding Geometry—Data Management toolbox | ArcGIS Desktop Use Feature Vertices To Points—Data Management toolbox | ArcGIS Desktop  to get a point for each vertex. Use Split Line at Point—Data Management toolbox | ArcGIS Desktop  to convert each parcel, into 4 "Side" line features. Spatial join the sides to the roads, for each parcel, the side with the smallest distance, is the frontage on the road. ... View more

Look up python Raw Strings, or paths generally. In short, when python sees:      \ It starts looking for special characters, like     \n   which means new line in python speak. So, to tell it to read the text exactly as you have it entered, we add a "r" to say this is Raw string data, and ignore any fancy stuff. So basically, you need to change the code from: "E:\cnnGDB" to r"E:\cnnGDB" ... View more

I wrote this script based on my understanding of your explanation (Which was a little hazy!) I kept your existing code exactly as it was just moved it into a function, then added one new function, and a Loop. Hopefully this helps     import arcpy import time def update_database(): # Input property inPropertypntfc = r"G:\GIS\ESRI\Staging\Survey123\Testing\New File Geodatabase.gdb\propertypnts" print(inPropertypntfc) # input survey feature class inSurveyfc = r"G:\GIS\ESRI\Staging\Survey123\Testing\New File Geodatabase.gdb\retailpt2" print(inSurveyfc) # Make feature layer of feature classes to allow selection arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(inPropertypntfc, "Propertypntlyr") arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(inSurveyfc, "Surveylyr") # select intersecting points arcpy.SelectLayerByLocation_management("Propertypntlyr", "INTERSECT", "Surveylyr") print ("select") # Update Cursor for point layer cursor = arcpy.da.UpdateCursor("Propertypntlyr", ["CompleteY_N"]) print (cursor) for row in cursor: cursor.updateRow(["Completed"]) print ("Done") del row del cursor arcpy.Delete_management("Propertypntlyr") arcpy.Delete_management("Surveylyr") def all_surveys_complete(): inPropertypntfc = r"G:\GIS\ESRI\Staging\Survey123\Testing\New File Geodatabase.gdb\propertypnts" # Make feature layer of feature classes to allow selection arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(inPropertypntfc, "Propertypntlyr") # Select features that are not complete arcpy.SelectLayerByAttribute_management("Propertypntlyr", 'NEW_SELECTION', """ "CompleteY_N" <> 'Completed' """) #Check if we got a selection desc = arcpy.Describe("Propertypntlyr") if desc.FIDSet == '': #If there is no selection, all surveys are complete arcpy.Delete_management("Propertypntlyr") return True else: arcpy.Delete_management("Propertypntlyr") return False #Main Script logic #Carry on forever (until we "break" the loop) while True: #Existing code update_database() #Check if all are complete if all_surveys_complete() == True: #Exit the while loop break #Wait for 10 mins for more surveys to be completed and added to the retailpt2 layer time.sleep(600) print "All surveys are complete!" ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ...

Yes, unless you install a copy of ArcGIS Desktop, or alternative ArcGIS suite products that contain arcpy on that machine.   (Im not aware of any "free" products that contain arcpy, but it does come with Desktop basic!) ... View more

I must say it looks like you are doing very well with the pythons Sadly, I dont think you can do what you are hoping, using the GIS API. This is largely for managing of "content" on the online ecosystem, and less involved with the actual raw data and map services behind the content.   (For example, if you clone a map layer, both copies still point to the same published REST service on ArcGIS Server)  ------------ I am not certain as haven't tried this workflow, but I think you have a data type issue, rather than a python.  It is likely that this code: search_results = gis.content.search('{}'.format(Item_ID)) Trail_Data = search_results[0] Probably returns a "ArcGIS Portal Layer",   this has properties such as the name, title, sharing information etc.  However, this type of data cannot be used inside a "Geo-Processing Tool". Possibly someone else can but in here, but I dont think that the features on a map service, are exposed in this manner.    (As an example, If you tried dragging the services layers manually into an arcmap window, then dragging those layers into a geoprocessing tool, I think you will find even this is not permitted, possibly if the layer is published as a feature service instead of a map service they may work?) I think you would need to either: Look into ArcGIS Offline editing and synchronisation. Enable layers for offline mapping—Portal for ArcGIS | ArcGIS Enterprise  create a geoprocessing tool, on the server, that exports it to a shapefile/gdb format, similar to the clip and ship example: Geoprocessing service example: Clip And Ship—Documentation | ArcGIS Enterprise  ...

As you discovered, I think that you cant using basic arcpy functions, but there are workarounds, such as: you can replace its source have image elements, that are located 'off the page', then in the code you can move them into the right location as required and away again when not needed. Maybe others? ... View more

Theres no specific way to do this, this is likely a design decision, as features can have theoretically unlimited vertexes so loading all this info to populate a dictionary etc, could be expensive and have potential to massively slow down cursors.  Check out this article, that tells you the exact same thing I could but using many more words and much more coherently: Reading geometries—ArcPy Get Started | ArcGIS Desktop  The code at the bottom should allow you to do as you require. import arcpy infc = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0) # Enter for loop for each feature # for row in arcpy.da.SearchCursor(infc, ["OID@", "SHAPE@"]): # Print the current multipoint's ID # print("Feature {}:".format(row[0])) partnum = 0 # Step through each part of the feature # for part in row[1]: # Print the part number # print("Part {}:".format(partnum)) # Step through each vertex in the feature # for pnt in part: if pnt: # Print x,y coordinates of current point # print("{}, {}".format(pnt.X, pnt.Y)) else: # If pnt is None, this represents an interior ring # print("Interior Ring:") partnum += 1p ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍   ...

The error mentions 'drop field, requires a value' so I imagine it might not be a path issue. This probably means, that your 'intersection' of fields between delete these and the fcs, is returning none. So you are passing in effectively no parameter!  You could try something along lines of: If len(remove_fields) >0:      Remove them ... View more
