If you use the python that comes with server it should use the server license see here: https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/server/latest/develop/windows/scripting-service-publishing-with-arcpy.htm Note that sometime when you install both Pro and server on the same machine there is a mix between the python installations and it uses the wrong license even if you use the server's python. It better not to install Pro on the server machine. ... View more

 I found the way to do it but it still in testing. First you create and publish a separate script ("child") that do the part that should be executed in parallel. It gets parameters just like any gp service. Then you write a tool that run gp service (use this: https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/server/10.8/publish-services/windows/using-a-service-in-python-scripts.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_76BCC792830C479298250C5C06652EE6  ). In such a script you can control the number of parallel instances, giving each one a different variable and then check that all instances are finished before continue the father script that aggregate or append the results. the child script should return his private results to the caller somehow (url to the results or string). After the father script was running in Pro I had not problem publishing it as gp service as a "father" service. Running this father service I could see the number of running processes for the "child" service going up when the father script run a few instances of the child in parallel.  ... View more

Hi all My message setting is info and I get NO messages. I am aware of the resources problem. If you use multiprocessing wisely you can limit the number of parallel processes. If you have a server with many cores and each gp service do a lot of work but does not called very often you should be able to get better performance. Currently the tool just ended without calling the function I need to run in parallel. Again, it works on Pro so my code is working. Something in the server env stopping it. Thanks   ... View more

Hi Marco We are going to use local PostgreSQL to keep very few (5-10) layers with about 1-2M features each. We need best performance with drawing and some statistics in dashboards. Can you give a few hints about the configuration assuming that I do not have the time to become an expert in PostgreSQL configuration? Thanks ... View more

Hi Marco Thanks for the information but our configuration are a little different. Both the hosted database and the stand alone Postgres are in the same network segment and have identical network. The question is really did esri done any tricks to make the hosted better then just standard installation of Postgres? Thanks ... View more

It will also be nice if the event can return  something that will stop the tool (cancel code?) ... View more

I work a lot with gp services. This is very powerful tool but the doc's are not great and there are some bugs. I could not do it without access the server directory and see the published script. In most cases when you see the published script and you understand what the publish process do you can fix the original script and republished. In some cases, updating the published script is the easiest way. It is unsupported but I got this advise from esri support. Dropping extra quote is something you can do on the published script. If you do not have access to the server I would install local server just for these tests Have fun ... View more

Hi Wolf Thanks for the answer. Do you see any way to remove any GPtools from Pro on startup time? Maybe with Configuration? Maybe overwrite it with my own tool (that will make some tools before running the original tool)? Thanks ... View more

As far as i understand the order of installations (Pro and server) define if this will be a problem or not. If you remove Pro from the server it works for me every time. Sometime uninstall the Pro and then reinstall (if you must have it) works too ... View more

There is a lot of data and two servers so the DSM's are on network drive. I will test it on a local drive two (The servers are virtual). It is not going to be easy to manage it if it helps. ... View more

Hi all My DSM is in UTM and tiff format. The observer point is in UTM too. Since this should run as a gp service on a server with no graphic card I do not think Geodesic Viewshed will do better. I am thinking about splitting to big tiles, do separate visibility on each tile and then merge the results but did not have the time to test it yet. Thanks ... View more
