I've got a geoprocessing service based on a python script. The script works great from ArcGIS Desktop but when run as a geoprocessing service, it does not update the geodatabase. It also does not provide any errors and I'm not seeing anything helpful in the server logs. Here's what it does perfectly from the desktop: 1) Receive a username and street address. 2) Geocode that address to an XY coordinate using ArcGIS Online. 3) Write the data to a feature class in a file geodatabase. 4) Use Intersect_analysis to combine this data with a totally unrelated data set in another geodatabase. 5) Use Append_management to concatenate this new row of data onto a final feature class. When I publish this script a geoprocessing tool, it simply doesn't work - at least not completely. All I get by way of user feedback from the REST endpoint is the following: Job Status:  esriJobSucceeded Results:  None The geodatabase does not get updated. This seems like it might be a permissions issue, so here's what I've done: 1) Registered the geodatabase in ArcGIS Server Manager. 2) Gave the ArcGIS User account Read, Write, and Modify permissions on the directory which contains the geodatabase. FWIW, my code is below. Any help would be much, much appreciated! # Import arcpy module import arcpy, os arcpy.AddMessage("Starting the script...") varWorkingDirectory = r"C:\Data\GISData\SalesForceDemo" #varWorkingDirectory = os.getcwd() # Capture the user input varCustomerName = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0) varAddress = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1) varCity = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(2) varState = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(3) varZip = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(4) # Delete any old data in the TestAddresses table arcpy.AddMessage("Deleting any old data in the TestAddresses table...") try:     rows = arcpy.UpdateCursor(varWorkingDirectory + r"\SFTest.gdb\TestAddresses")     for row in rows:         rows.deleteRow(row)         del row     del rows except:     arcpy.AddMessage("Could not delete the old data from TestAddresses.") # Insert the new data into the TestAddresses table so that it can be geoprocessed arcpy.AddMessage("Inserting new data into the TestAddresses table...") try:     rows = arcpy.InsertCursor(varWorkingDirectory + r"\SFTest.gdb\TestAddresses")     row = rows.newRow()     row.Name = varCustomerName     row.Address =varAddress     row.City = varCity     row.State = varState     row.Zip = varZip     rows.insertRow(row)     # Delete cursor and row objects to remove locks on the data     del row     del rows except:     arcpy.AddMessage("Could not insert the new data into TestAddresses.") # Delete the old output feature classes arcpy.AddMessage("Deleting the old output feature classes...") try:     arcpy.Delete_management(varWorkingDirectory + r"\SFTest.gdb\CompletedGeocodingResults")     arcpy.Delete_management(varWorkingDirectory + r"\SFTest.gdb\CompletedGeocodingResults_In") except:     arcpy.AddMessage("Could not delete the old data from CompletedGeocodingResults and CompletedGeocodingResults_In.") # Local variables: TestAddresses = varWorkingDirectory + r"\SFTest.gdb\TestAddresses" World_GeocodeServer = "GIS Servers\\arcgis on geocode.arcgis.com (user)\\World.GeocodeServer" RadonNew = "C:\\Data\\GISData\\ROE\\NewRadonData.gdb\\RadonNew" CompletedGeocodingResults = varWorkingDirectory + r"\SFTest.gdb\CompletedGeocodingResults" FinalGeocodingResultsWithRadon = varWorkingDirectory + r"\SFTest.gdb\CompletedGeocodingResults_In" # Process: Geocode Addresses try:     arcpy.GeocodeAddresses_geocoding(TestAddresses, World_GeocodeServer, "Address Address VISIBLE NONE;Neighborhood <None> VISIBLE NONE;City City VISIBLE NONE;Subregion <None> VISIBLE NONE;Region State VISIBLE NONE;Postal Zip VISIBLE NONE;PostalExt <None> VISIBLE NONE;CountryCode <None> VISIBLE NONE", CompletedGeocodingResults, "STATIC") except:     arcpy.AddMessage("Could not perform GeocodeAddresses_geocoding.") # Process: Intersect arcpy.AddMessage("Performing Intersect_analysis...") try:     arcpy.Intersect_analysis(varWorkingDirectory + r"\SFTest.gdb\CompletedGeocodingResults #;C:\Data\GISData\ROE\NewRadonData.gdb\RadonNew #", FinalGeocodingResultsWithRadon, "ALL", "", "INPUT") except:     arcpy.AddMessage("Could not perform Intersect_analysis.") # Append the new data onto the master featureclass # Append_management (inputs, target, {schema_type}, {field_mapping}, {subtype}) arcpy.AddMessage("Performing Append_management...") try:     arcpy.Append_management(varWorkingDirectory + r"\SFTest.gdb\CompletedGeocodingResults_In", r"\SFTest.gdb\FinalGeocodingResults", "TEST","","") except:     arcpy.AddMessage("Could not perform Append_management.") ...

Hello, everyone. I'm having trouble getting ArcGIS 10.1 License Manager to run on our new Windows Server 2012 machine. I've tried turning the server firewall off but that hasn't helped. The network firewall is configured to allow communication over port 27000. The error from the log file is: 16:07:10 (lmgrd) Since this is an unknown status, license server 16:07:10 (lmgrd) manager (lmgrd) will attempt to re-start the vendor daemon. 16:07:10 (lmgrd) Starting vendor daemon at port 27000 16:07:10 (lmgrd) Using vendor daemon port 27000 specified in license file 16:07:10 (lmgrd) REStarted ARCGIS (pid 7228) 16:07:10 (ARCGIS) FLEXnet Licensing version v11.10.0.0 build 95001 i86_n3 16:07:10 (ARCGIS) Server started on ServerName for: ACT  16:07:10 (ARCGIS) EXTERNAL FILTERS are OFF 16:07:10 (lmgrd) ARCGIS using TCP-port 0 16:07:10 (ARCGIS) tcp_s is bad!!!

Hello, everyone. I have a layer file that points at a FeatureClass. This FeatureClass periodically receives new data. I need to update the layer file so that it recognizes the new data. I'm trying to use the code found at: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/#/UpdateLayer/00s30000003p000000/ as a starting point but it's erroring out saying "AttributeError: 'Layer' object has no attribute 'symbology'" Ive been grinding on this for a week now and I'm totally stumped here. The layer file does have symbology set up (see attached screenshot), so I've no idea what the problem is. I'm in desperate need of help and would appreciate any suggestions. My code is as follows: import arcpy, os from arcpy import env env.workspace = os.getcwd() mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(env.workspace + r"\CoastalCurrentsData.mxd") # Dataframe stuff - perform an arcpy.mapping UpdateLayer (using the above pre-authors layer file) df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd, "CoastalCurrentsData")[0] updateLayer = arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd, "RecentData", df)[0] sourceLayer = arcpy.mapping.Layer(env.workspace + r"\USWC_1km_WGS_1984.lyr") arcpy.mapping.UpdateLayer(df, updateLayer, sourceLayer, True) # Refresh the layers unique value symbology so that it is referencing the current data lyr = arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd, "RecentData", df)[0] # HERE'S WHERE THE ERROR HAPPENS ####### lyr.symbology.addAllValues() arcpy.RefreshActiveView() arcpy.RefreshTOC() ...

Hello, everyone. I've got a script that downloads a large number of shapefiles from an FTP site. Those shapefiles are then imported into a FileGeodatabase FeatureClass. I need to use a python script to automate a few MXD modifications each time the data are downloaded and I???m not sure if it???s even possible. I don???t need a fully scripted solution but if anyone here could tell me which, if any python objects to use, that would be stellar. The tasks are as follows: 1)  Categorize the symbology of data based on the TimeStamp field in the FeatureClass. 2)  Use the Up Arrow as the symbol for all data points. 3)  Assign the Rotation of the Up Arrow based on the Bearing field. I've attached a screenshot, showing the conversion which I need to perform in terms of symbology. Thanks a million for any help! ... View more

I'm trying to write a script for updating the metadata in a geodatabase by importing XML files. What the script does is to loop through a geodatabase and collect the names of every feature class. Then, it looks for an XML file whose name is equal to the name of the feature class + ".xml". Unfortnately, I'm getting the following error and I don't know what it means "Unhandled Exception: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly GpMetadataFunctions". The XML file is in the same directory that houses the GDB and the python script. My script and the full error are as follows. Any help would be tremendously appreciated. import arcgisscripting, arcpy, os, sys from arcpy import env from arcpy import mapping gp = arcgisscripting.create(9.3) # Set the current workspace by passing the name of the geodatabase # for example: python ImportMetadata2.py HomeViewGeoPlatfrom.gdb gdb = sys.argv[1] folder = gdb env.workspace = folder # The following file will serve as a list of what we've done and will provide links for pasting into the config file LogFile = open(folder.replace('.gdb','')+'LogFile.csv', 'w') LogFile.write("FeatureClass,XMLFileNameGuess,Results" + "\n") def listFcsInGDB(gdb):     ''' list all Feature Classes in a geodatabase, including inside Feature Datasets '''     gp.workspace = gdb     print 'Processing ', gp.workspace     # create an array that contains the names of all of the FeatureClasses in the geodatabase     # this info will be used for making a list of XML files with similar names     fcs = []     for fds in gp.ListDatasets('','feature') + ['']:         for fc in gp.ListFeatureClasses('','',fds):             # If you want to include the name of the FeatureDataset in the XML file name, use this line             # fcs.append(os.path.join(fds, fc))             # The following line does not include the FeatureDataset name in the XML file name             fcs.append(os.path.join(fc))     return fcs fcs = listFcsInGDB(gdb) for fc in fcs:     print fc        #  the field name, type, and length.     layer = fc         # Phase to add in between Popup and Layer Name.xml     LookForThisXMLFile = layer.replace("\\","_") + ".xml"         try:         arcpy.MetadataImporter_conversion (LookForThisXMLFile,fc)         LogFile.write(layer + "," + LookForThisXMLFile + "," + "Success" + "\n")     except Exception, e:         LogFile.write(layer + "," + LookForThisXMLFile + "," + e + "\n")         continue LogFile.close() C:\Data\GISData\>python ImportMetadata2.py Test.gdb Processing  Test.gdb CD_112th Unhandled Exception: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'GpMetadataFunctions, Version=10.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=8f c3cc631e44ad86' or one of its dependencies.

My server was updated to ArcGIS 10.1 last week and now I'm unable to run python code from the command line. The error I get is: The program can't start because python26.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling hte program to fix the problem. If I double-click on the C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.1\python27.exe executable, it will successfully open the command line interface. The C:\Python26\ArcGIS10.0\python26.exe throws the above error. All I need to do is to be able to run python scripts from the Windows command line, for example: c:\FolderName\python ScriptName.py Anyone know what I need to do? ... View more
