I am trying to automate the process of publishing a geoprocessing service to ArcGIS for Server 10.2.2, using a python script:
import arcpy result = r"C:\data\ContourLineFunction.rlt" connectionPath = r"C:\Users\sof\AppData\Roaming\ESRI\Desktop10.2\ArcCatalog\arcgis on localhost_6080 (admin).ags" sddraft = "ContourLineFunction.sddraft" sd = "ContourLineFunction.sd" serviceName = "ContourLineFunction" # create service definition draft arcpy.CreateGPSDDraft( result, sddraft, serviceName, server_type="ARCGIS_SERVER", connection_file_path=connectionPath, copy_data_to_server=False, folder_name=None, summary="lorem ipsum", tags="gp", executionType="Synchronous", resultMapServer=False, showMessages="INFO", maximumRecords=1000, minInstances=1, maxInstances=5, maxUsageTime=100, maxWaitTime=10, maxIdleTime=180) analyzeMessages = arcpy.mapping.AnalyzeForSD(sddraft)
The result from the AnalyzeForSD function contains multiple errors 001243:
{ 'errors': { (u'ERROR 001243: The ContourLineFunction/in_string_version parameter is missing a syntax dialog explanation in the item description', 92): [], (u'ERROR 001243: The ContourLineFunction/yCoordinate parameter is missing a syntax dialog explanation in the item description', 92): [], (u'ERROR 001242: Tool ContourLineFunction is missing item description summary', 80): [], (u'ERROR 001243: The ContourLineFunction/xCoordinate parameter is missing a syntax dialog explanation in the item description', 92): [], (u'ERROR 001243: The ContourLineFunction/radius parameter is missing a syntax dialog explanation in the item description', 92): []} ...
I know I can get rid of the errors by manually entering item descriptions in the Service Editor in ArcMap/ArcCatalog.
I have tried to find the settings in the sddraft file, but nothing looked like the right place for the values.
I have tried to find something inside the .rlt-file (geoprocessing result), but this was all binary stuff inside a ZIP file 😞
How can I automate the setting of the item descriptions?
