Finally I had to come back on this one and I've got it working : In client side (javascript) : printTemplate.format = MapConfig.printService.format; printTemplate.layout = PrWidget.mapTemplatesFilteringSelect.get('displayedValue'); printTemplate.preserveScale = false; printTemplate.layoutOptions = {     titleText:PrWidget.titleTextBox.get("value"),         customTextElements:[         {Entite:PrWidget.entiteTextBox.get("value")},         {Rue:PrWidget.rueTextBox.get("value")},         {CodePostal:PrWidget.codepostalTextBox.get("value")},         {Ville:PrWidget.villeTextBox.get("value")},         {Contact:PrWidget.contactTextBox.get("value")},         {Mail:PrWidget.mailTextBox.get("value")},         {Telephone:PrWidget.telephoneTextBox.get("value")},         {Fax:PrWidget.faxTextBox.get("value")}         ]     }; It will automatically search for text elements in the mxd template base on textElement elementName that matches the keys (if I've got a textElement which elementName in "Entite" in my mxd, then it will update it with the value I defined). This prevent to add "extraParameters" just for updating text in the template. ... View more

It seems that "Find" doesn't work either on Query Layer table. I also found this : http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/33117-strange-behaviour-querying-for-objects-id-a-query-layer http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/7376-querying-a-layer-that-has-it-s-table-joined ... View more

Hello, The problem comes from the transparency as you know : "Invalid a value in color: 25500" At some stage, the solution consists in parsing the "webMapAsJson" to modify values, this is an extract that demonstrate how I changed GraphicsLayers's transparency : import json jsonMap = json.loads(webMapAsJson) # -- so you can manipulate the json if jsonMap.has_key("operationalLayers"): # -- to get in the operational layer array :      for operationalLayer in jsonMap["operationalLayers"]: #-- for each operational layer :           if operationalLayer.has_key("featureCollection"): #-- That would be a graphicsLayer                modifyTransparencyInGraphicsLayers(operationalLayer) # --  Send to a function to modify the json (this remove transparency in my case) outputJson = json.dumps(jsonMap ) # -- then you reencode your jsonMap to json result = arcpy.mapping.ConvertWebMapToMapDocument(outputJson , templateMxd) # -- Finally you can get back to the method described in the tutorial def modifyTransparencyInGraphicsLayers(operationalLayer): # -> Modify Tranparency for 'GraphicLayers'     if operationalLayer["featureCollection"].has_key("layers"):             for operationalLayersGraphicsLayerLayer in operationalLayer["featureCollection"]["layers"]:                 if operationalLayersGraphicsLayerLayer.has_key("featureSet"):                     if operationalLayersGraphicsLayerLayer["featureSet"].has_key("features"):                         for graphicsLayerParams in operationalLayersGraphicsLayerLayer["featureSet"]["features"]:                             if graphicsLayerParams.has_key("symbol"):                                 if graphicsLayerParams["symbol"].has_key("color"):                                     if len(graphicsLayerParams["symbol"]["color"]) == 4:                                         graphicsLayerParams["symbol"]["color"][3] = 255                                 if graphicsLayerParams["symbol"].has_key("outline"):                                     if graphicsLayerParams["symbol"]["outline"].has_key("color"):                                         if len(graphicsLayerParams["symbol"]["outline"]["color"]) == 4:                                             graphicsLayerParams["symbol"]["outline"]["color"][3] = 255     return operationalLayer ...

Maybe you could convert it to json and then return it as string : import json outputJson = json.dumps(outputParam) arcpy.SetParamter(outputJson ) ... View more

I usually script my stuff into a python.py file. Then I add my python script to a toolbox. And finally I publish the gp result as a geoprocessing service as shown on the tutorial I recommended above. After a quick look at python toolboxes, it seems to me that it is almost the same thing except that my two first steps are merged in one. Then to publish it a geoprocessing service, it works the same way. You can define inputs but you don't have to if you don't need any inputs from the webapp. input = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0) #It should be working the same in a python toolbox or it should be something similar You can define an output too if you want (that could be the "message" you are talking about) : if the script works :        output = "job done" else :        output = "job not completed" arcpy.SetParameterAsText(1, output) - > in GetParameterAsText(0) and SetParameterAsText(1), 0 and 1 refer to the row number of the parameters list. What I don't know is how to define the inputs, output data-type (String, File), direction (Input, Output) and type (Optional, Derived) from a python toolbox (parameters don't appear in the toolbox properties). It might be filling out automatically with python toolbox. Then,  when you call your geoprocessing service from you webapp, it will return an output if you defined one. ... View more

Hi, yes, that should work, I would probably do it that way too.  I guess that on the client side, the "editToolbar.deactivate();" could work as a trigger, to call the geoprocessing service. You must be pretty close from the solution... ... View more

I'm pretty sure you can not change mapservice datasource with arcpy unfortunately. I can't find a specific post or documentation that explicitly says it but I remember I voted for someone suggesting the idea on http://ideas.arcgis.com You can not use arcpy.mapping replaceWorkspaces, ArcGIS Server is not part of the "replaceable" workspace. Here A mapservice can be list as a layer in a map document using : for layer in arcpy.mapping.ListLayers() Then it has the property : layer.isServiceLayer = True So you can access to its : layer.serviceProperties with the information about ArcGIS Server connection properties. However, serviceProperties are read only... 😞 If I'm right, this limitation should definitively appear and here, here Dear Esri, can we have further information about it ? ... View more

If you mean publishing your script as a geoprocessing service, yes it will work 😄 Here is a great step-by-step tutorial that covers the whole scope. It is about a printing geoprocessing service. http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#/Tutorial_Advanced_high_quality_web_map_printing_exporting_using_arcpy_mapping/0154000005z2000000/ ...

Also, an alternative for me is to publish my CAD files as a mapservice with ArcGIS 9.3, to cache it and then to use the cache with a 10.1 mapservice. The problem I have in this scenario is the one I described in the previous post : Adding DWG Layer using arcpy.AddLayer doesn't preserves CAD symbology as it does when you add the layer manually in ArcMap. Adding my thousands of CAD files at once manually craches ArcMap. Does anyone know how to add DWG layers to ArcMap using python and how to preserve the CAD symbology ? ... View more
