Hey guys, We are actually developing Web Tools based on ArcGIS Pro 2.8 to publish in ArcGIS Enterprise 10.8.1. We want to establish unit tests and want to run these tests in Azure DevOps Pipelines. While in a local environment I have an ArcGIS Pro installed, of course this is not the case in an Azure DevOps environment. And simply trying to install arcpy module with python install failed. What is the recommended scenario from Esri to establish this? Kind regards, Max ... View more

Hi guys, I have a strange behaviour with my script which I wrote for a customer. Just the relevant lines ... import arcpy import os import sys import logging import logging.config from datetime import datetime # CONFIG Paths Pdf_Path = r"C:\PrintServer" Log_Path = r"C:\PrintServer\log" Aprx_File = r"D:\data\PrintServer\COVID19_Print.aprx" def main(): # Input Layout template Layout_Template = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0) #open the ProProject try: aprx = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject(Aprx_File) layouts = aprx.listLayouts(Layout_Template) except: raise #print each layout found out_files = [] for lyt in layouts: try: now = datetime.now() tmp_file_name = lyt.name + "_" + now.strftime("%Y%m%d_%H%M%S") + ".pdf" Temp_File = os.path.join(arcpy.env.scratchFolder, tmp_file_name) #This line always results in an OSError lyt.exportToPDF(Temp_File, resolution = 300) Output_File = os.path.join(Pdf_Path, tmp_file_name) import shutil shutil.move(Temp_File, Output_File) out_files.append(Output_File) except: raise arcpy.SetParameter(1, out_files) if __name__ == '__main__': try: main() except: import traceback logging.error(traceback.format_exc()) The idea is to provide a GPService which takes a public WebMap, uses a predefined ArcGIS Pro Project (.aprx) also published with the GPService, reading a layout and printing this layout as pdf document. In my tests on my machine and three different ArcGIS servers, this has been no problem. Also running on the customers ArcGIS Pro client worked as expected, but when rolling out on the customers server, we always get an OSError when executing the ExportToPDF method.   What we already verified/tested: different file directories: hard coded temp folder or the scratch folder from arcgis shortened the file and directory names tripple checked write permissions, we have used different users, even full previliged from their IT department executed the script via GPService or via python shell, both results in the same OSError tested with ExportToJPG and ExportToPNG, both also produces the same error tested, if a PDF program is necessary (it is not) tested, if a PDF in general could be produced with python (is possible) So, this works: #Create the file and append pages pdfDoc = arcpy.mp.PDFDocumentCreate(pdfPath) pdfDoc.appendPages(referencePdf) pdfDoc.saveAndClose()   And now I don't have any other idea. Anybody of you have any? Has anybody a deeper look into that tool and can say, why this error could happen?   Kind regards, Max ... View more

Hi, One of our customers has a requirement to show a display grid in Swiss coordination system LV95 ("CH1903+ LV95" or WKID 2056) or LV03 ("CH1903 LV03" or WKID 21781) in a runtime application. The representation of a display grid is basically possible and the ArcGIS Runtime offers 4 standard grids for this purpose. All of them derive from a base class Grid, and my idea was to implement a custom grid taking a wkid and deriving from this base class, as it has: public abstract class Grid Unfortunately this will not work because the constructor of the base class is internal and therefore a derived class is impossible. Is it not thought to display a custom grid? Or is there a way to do this that I'm overlooking? Are there any plans to improve this feature? What is the way you would recommend to achieve a custom grid? Kind regards, Max ... View more

Hi, In the ArcGIS Pro SDK documentation is mentioned, how you have to install a configuration. I have some questions about this topic: The documentation says: "RegisterAddin.exe" validates the configuration and copies it to the configurations' well-known folder: C:\Users\<UserName>\Documents\ArcGIS\AddIns\ArcGISPro\Configurations What if I want to install the configuration not only for one user, but for all? Do I have to use a different folder? Do I have to execute the tool more than once? What if I want to script the installation process. Could I use this tool and work with parameters? If I want to uninstall a configuration, is it enough to delete the proConfigX file in the user folder? Kind regards, Max ... View more
