Alright all Hopefully, a helpful point in the right way would be helpful for my issue I am having. I am trying to port a desktop script I wrote to ArcGIS server 10.1. And I am MUCH more experienced in the desktop end of things then the server end. This translates to I should know the answer for this??? So I wrote a script which ingests a file format does some conversions, manipulations, calculations and kicks out a feature class (for now). And it works totally fine (on desktop). I then export it to server and map it via toolbox, access it from various other ArcGIS Desktop machines (10 & 10.1) and it works fine. The end user will not have ArcGIS Desktop, they will be accessing this via other processes (specifically the rest endpoint). The rest endpoint accepts a single input for the file, as well as a couple of value lists. I can get the process working if I manually upload first and then pass it {"itemID" : "<itemID>" } Which brings me to my question. Is there any other way I can get it to work by it's the other format for a flat file that is located locally. Something along the lines of ??? { "url" : "http://myserver/myfile" }. Please bear in mind I realize I realize it???s not a website or a URL. I just would ???ideally??? like to use a format like this and only have to feed the data once. Thanks -e

Eric, were you able create any polygons? I started working on a similar task, and I was looking into path distance tool initially, however creating the cost surface and incorporate the initial volume seems tricky. Thanks Kagan Kagan Sorry for the slow reply. 🙂 The short answer is no. I pitched what I had to the higher ups. Generate point spills with volumes, with linear directions of flow. And how it would be a much cooler application with polygons in it then lines, but at the moment I am in a holding pattern with it. I hope to blow the dust off it in another couple of weeks.

Thanks for the help. I need/want this to be entirely cased within the standard toolset for ArcGIS. So with that in mind I think I'll just ignore the "advanced" pooling for now. I will take your process from above and use it for the downhill trace with "cutoff" when the flow expires. IDRISI, boy that is a name I hadn't heard in a few years. -e

Bill Back from vacation and hitting this problem again 🙂 Your reply was actually one step ahead of what I was looking for (and I fully plan on using it when I get there�?�.)/Please bear in mind I fully acknowledge the answer might be �??You can�??t do that with out of the box tools�?� What I�??m looking to do is generate more of a polygon/raster from each point that does not work out to a single line feature tracking the steepest slope downhill. Two Examples come to mind , one of them is basically no gradient whereas the other one has an upgradient aspect: 1) A point source on a totally flat area that is flat for miles around. I would want expect the analysis to return something roughly circular in shape, with the number of pixels in the analysis working out to whatever the value was from the source located in the center (200 from example above) 2) If the flow line ran into a sink, I would want the analysis to �??spread�?� out of the sink (upgradient) till it met its next area where it could continue its path downstream. The �??spreading�?� would obviously assess the cost per each pixel that it moves -e

Bill Thanks for the reply. I'm out of the office for a couple of days and look forward to giving that process a whack in Tuesday when I get back. Thanks again -e

Ack, spatial Analyst brain not functioning as well as I would like right now. Alright I know I did this �??back in the day�?�, but unfortunately that was 8+ years ago and was using a custom written ArcObjects application (which I didn�??t write) I have a point dataset with a calculated liquid discharge volume on it for each point. I want to create a raster/polygon that corresponds to the �??spread�?� that gets created from each discharge point. As an example a hypothetical point has a discharge of 1000 Cubic Meters and my DEM is a 30M cell size. For testing purposes let�??s just say each cell �??absorb�?� 5 Cubic Meters so ideally I want a product that can represent something that�??s roughly 200 cells. The best posting I found that addressed this so far was one from 3 years ago but it isn�??t exactly what I want. http://forums.esri.com/thread.asp?c=93&f=995&t=225744 I can generate a linear �??raindrop�?� trace from each point to the boundaries of the DEM, and I can do the down gradient analysis fairly easily from the forums posting above. But ideally I want to replicate something that would show some overland pooling and stop when the product is done. Any thoughts /suggestions would be appreciated. I'm assuming this can be done with standard tools but I very well might be wrong... -e Caveats : At the end of the project I ideally want to pass this toolbox around to some others who will not have Admin rights on their computers. Therefore the solution needs to be some sort of combination of �??out of the box�?� Python/Model Builder (or even VBA)with Spatial Analyst and 3D Analyst (No Geo Hec-RAS, Arc Hydro etc..)

Mike Thanks for the heads up. I already have some python scripts set up to run nightly which do some slicing and dicing of other datasets. I guess I'll just throw a couple of extra lines in there to export the event themes to feature classes parked in a fGDB and tell my users everything will be current as of 0300 that morning (and gets remade every night). Event theme layers certianly would be a nice function though! I'll login and suggest it. No biggie. Thanks for the heads up though. -e

Hi, Problem are in 2D view or 3D ? Did you load lyr file in local or with GIS Server? Apologize for the late reply (I had not gotten an email indicating my thread had been replied to) Issues exists in 2D and 3D LYR file loaded locally (from network drive), we do not have ArcGIS Server stood up here (insert *sigh*) -e

The Question: Are event theme layers supported in AGX? The Background: So I am coming into AGX from an analyst???s point of view. I am in the process of getting our IT department to roll out AGX to 50+ computers so some GIS analysis can be done without requiring the users go to our GIS labs. We have a table that currently lives in Access. I have created numerous event themes (with definition queries to filter the results) with symbology and saved them out as LYR files that are easily accessible in ArcView and higher licenses of ArcGIS. These layers files do not seem to pull up in AGX. I???ve tried porting the table to a file gdb, recreating the layers and it still didn???t work I???ve also stripped the symbology and the definition queries to no avail. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. -e
