Hi Dominik Thank you very much for your answer. You have understood me perfectly I have to implement a truck tracking process but the company that provides the data does so via a SOAP interface (I have asked if an XML rest end point is possible and the answer is no). So I've been trying to simulate the scenario with the NOAA data. But as you say SOAP is not ideal. I will need to ask our developers to assist with creating a custom processor with the GeoEvntSDK but I was hoping there was a more simple solution. Thank you so much for the guidance. Kind regards Greg ... View more

Thanks Dominik, I do have a question that maybe you can help with. Do you know a URL that I can use as test for polling XML. I'm looking at NOAA at the moment NuSOAP: ndfdXML But not really sure what to set as the main URL for their information. Thanks Greg ... View more

Hi Dominik Thanks for posting the answer to this I've been looking everywhere for how to handle an XML input and your screenshots have cleared up a lot of my questions. All the best Greg ... View more

Hi Evan, Ok so I do have some feedback after meeting with the ESRI support person. It seems that for some reason the default directory that I used was the problem. Apparently creating a new directory (we made a directory on the C drive directly) and pointing the input and output services to the new directory worked. I wonder if having a longer path to the folder had something to do with my problem. Also I noticed that he suggested also removing the input directory option in the input settings seems to have helped in my case too. Thank you very much for your help Greg ... View more

Hi Evan, Thanks for your help. I have applied the suggestions from https://community.esri.com/thread/89695. and created geoevent definitions acordingly before as well. From what I can tell it is not even reading the csv file being written to the watch folder. I've now contacted esri support for assistance and have had feedback that the file ran normally on their side so all I can think is it may be a server setting somewhere. I've checked permissions on the user, the services and the geoevent side and all have full admin rights so I'm really not sure why the geoevent manager wont even read that a csv file has been placed in the correct folder. I'll reply with feedback should I find what the problem was. Thanks Greg ... View more

I am developing a live feed vehicle tracking web map that receives and consumes CSV file data from GPS feeds on vehicles. A dummy file of the live feed is provided in this email and the feed is polled or queried via a URL that downloads the latest instance of the current coordinates for the vehicles. The process that I’ve tried to follow is similar to the one shown in the GeoEvent Extention Introduction tutorials (attached is the tutorial that shows how to create a ‘live’ map). I can make the tutorial data (flights) update using the tcp-in and tcp-out connectors and the GeoEvent simulator but if I try the same process as the flights geoevent but use the Location.csv data for Sappi vehicles it does not update. I’ve also tried the Watch folder for csv update (my preferred method for this task) import connector and created a geoevent service that then connects to a fs-out to update the point feature layer that matches the input csv data. This also did not work. Some aspects that I’ve trouble shot so far are: Published a map to the webserver with a blank point file that has the same schema as the csv input Tested the csv sending via TCP bat file as the tutorial shows. No data is sent Placed the csv file into the “Watch folder for csv updates” folder at various stages of the geoevent running, stopped and started. I was able to substitute the x,y coordinates into the flights csv file and use the tutorial process to simulate stepping through the data The original csv file that downloads has quotation marks at the beginning and end of each field as well as commas to seperate the fields. I've tested without the quotation marks and still have the same result. No data can be seen transferring in the monitor page of the GeoEvent manager. ... View more

Hi Riyas, Thank you for getting back to me. Originally the tool was giving a missing perimeters warning as the tool was creating an empty output and thus append would not run. I did also check the shemas but am running it as "no test" and have set the fields I want to append manually - so I don't think this is the issue. I've modified the model with perimeters but now get a failed to execute model. This is most likely my error as I don't have extensive experience with model builder either. I've attached images of the current state of the model but I will try the steps you've mentioned and let you know. Hope this helps explain a little more from my side. ... View more

Hi Riyas, I've been running the model and it partially works in the sense that it is able to create a route table but the append will not work. The main thing though is that the model needs to have specific user input of clicking a start and end point for the data input not typing in distances. Do you have any suggestions to all for that? Thanks Greg ... View more

Hi Riyas, Thanks for the suggestion. I had though about a model but hadn't though of the locate features along route tool. I'll give it a go and send feedback if it works. Thanks again Greg ... View more
