Hi All, Recently we have updated some field alias in the SDE feature classes. After all the changes, when I look into the MXD, I could see that the updated field alias is not reflecting in the MXD layers. It still shows the old Alias name only. Somewhere I read the mxd layers are keeping a separate field mapping rather than the feature class field mapping. If this is the case, how can I update the mxd layer to reflect the updated fields. Have anyone experienced this kind of issues ? How can I bring the updated alias for those fields ? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. ... View more

I have a set of feature classes in file gdb. while exporting these to SDE via arcpy, the field names "SHAPE_Length" and "SHAPE_Area" got changed to"SHAPE.LEN" and "SHAPE.AREA" respectively. There was alias name for both these fields in GDB which  got missed in the SDE. I could right click on the feature class and from the properties window i can update the alias name of these fields. But the "Alter Field" tool in "Data Management Tools" fails to update the alias name for these fields. I've a lot of feature classes and its not practical to manually update the fields. Is there any way to preserve the field alias for these fields during the export? Or is there any other way to update the alias name programmatically. I've used the CopyFeatures_management in arcpy to export the feature classes. Thanks in advance. ... View more

Hi, We have a custom tool to extract an mpk file to a specific location. Below is the python code we used to extract the mpk file: import arcpy import os arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True # set folder that contains packages to extract arcpy.env.workspace = "N:/geoprocessing" wrksp = arcpy.env.workspace arcpy.AddMessage("wrksp : " + wrksp ) arcpy.ExtractPackage_management(wrksp + "/J6.mpk", "J6") While executing this script as a tool in ArcMap, it is executing successfully with the following message: Running script extract... wrksp : N:/geoprocessing Completed script extract... Once we made this as a GP service and access it via browser,  it fails. Following is the message retrieved: esriJobMessageTypeInformative: Running script extract... esriJobMessageTypeInformative: wrksp : D:\arcgisserver\directories\arcgissystem\arcgisinput\test_extract.GPServer\extracted\v101 esriJobMessageTypeInformative: Failed script extract... esriJobMessageTypeError: Traceback (most recent call last): File "D:\arcgisserver\directories\arcgissystem\arcgisinput\test_extract.GPServer\extracted\v101\my_toolboxes\module1.py", line 31, in arcpy.ExtractPackage_management(wrksp + "/J6.mpk", g_ESRI_variable_1) File "c:\program files\arcgis\server\arcpy\arcpy\management.py", line 7383, in ExtractPackage raise e ExecuteError: Failed to execute.

We could see that the application is not able to detect the workspace while running as GP tool. Also, the workspace we used here is a mapped Network path. I tried even by changing this to C drive. That also fails. Any help regarding this is appreciable. ... View more

Hi, We have some custom GP services which were successfully working in an ArcGIS Server 10.1. ArcGIS Desktop was also available in that machine. Recently the desktop has been uninstalled and the server has been upgraded to 10.3. Now these GP services are not working. Following is the error log I got from the ArcGIS Server Manager. Traceback (most recent call last): File "D:\arcgisserver\directories\arcgissystem\arcgisinput\hello.GPServer\extracted\v101\my_toolboxes\hello.py", line 8, in import arcpy, sys, os, datetime, glob, ConfigParser File "c:\program files\arcgis\server\arcpy\arcpy\__init__.py", line 31, in import arcpy.sa File "c:\program files\arcgis\server\arcpy\arcpy\sa\__init__.py", line 24, in from . import Functions as __Functions ImportError: cannot import name Functions Failed to execute (hello). Failed to execute (Hello). I doubt this may be due to the installation problem with python. So I tried to import arcpy in a sample python program and got the following error: Traceback (most recent call last):   File "module1.py", line 19, in <module>     import arcpy   File "C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Server\arcpy\arcpy\__init__.py", line 31, in <module>     import arcpy.sa   File "C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Server\arcpy\arcpy\sa\__init__.py", line 29, in <module>     __all__ += __ParameterClasses.__all__ AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '__all__' The sys.path yields the following: ['', 'C:\\Python27\\ArcGISx6410.3\\Lib\\site-packages', 'C:\\Windows\\system32\\python27.zip', 'C:\\Python27\\ArcGISx6410.3\\DLLs', 'C:\\Python27\\ArcGISx6410.3\\lib', 'C:\\Python27\\ArcGISx6410.3\\lib\\plat-win', 'C:\\Python27\\ArcGISx6410.3\\lib\\lib-tk', 'C:\\Python27\\ArcGISx6410.3', 'C:\\Program Files\\ArcGIS\\Server\\bin', 'C:\\Program Files\\ArcGIS\\Server\\arcpy', 'C:\\Program Files\\ArcGIS\\Server\\ArcToolBox\\Scripts'] Can anyone help me in identifying the issue. ...

Hi, Is is possible to update the snapping tolerance in WPF application ? We are able to provide the snap distance in the xaml code. But not able to update on the fly. We tried to bind this to a View Model , but is fails. Even though there is a function Editor.SetSnapDistance() available, we are not able to make this working. Have anybody tried these options?
