no feature is created from a model

MedMZOURI — Fri, 22 May 2020 15:06:39 GMT

Hy guys..I have created a python script and a model which creates a feature (a square) in a layer given X and Y coordinates of center. of the square...it works on Arcgis desktop so I published it as a geoprocessing service and added it as a custom widget on Web Appbuilder , and when I run it it runs without error ..But NO FEATURE is created in my layer..
I have checked everything is okay..my map is a feature layer uploaded in my arcgis server..editing is enabled , creating , deleting and deleting are enabled too..So where is the error??

You mentioned that it works when you run the tool in ArcMap or ArcGIS Pro. Was the tool being run from a local copy of the feature class or the feature layer/service? Is the tool set up to use the feature service that you are trying to write to and not a local copy of the data? Without seeing the script this would be the first thing I would think of causing the problem. If you can post a copy it would help to pinpoint errors.

I would recommend posting your question to the Python community to help get more eyes on your question. This group is for the product Admin Tools by GEO Jobe.

as you see , the square is created in a layer called "rsrv2"..how can I check if this layer is a copy or not?

and my published map is a map service published in my local service (an uploaded feature layer)

Looking at the image you posted while I see the name of the layer I'm not seeing a full reference path like 'C:\Data\...' or 'https://www.testmaps.myorg.com/...'. It looks like you are referencing a local dataset instead of the hosted service in ArcGIS Online that you are trying to write to. I would start by trying changes there and specifying the output location for where you want it to be.

yes..Is it necessary to write the full layer path? because the script runs correctly in arcmap..and if I should write the full path what would be the path of an sql database (because my database is an sql enterprise database) , would it be for example "myPC\SQLEXPRESS\Mydatabase\myLAYER" ??

Should I have a "start editing" code in my script? like
edit = arcpy.da.Editor("C:\Users\Maestro621\AppData\Roaming\ESRI\Desktop10.3\ArcCatalog\GeopDB.sde")
edit.startEditing()
edit.startOperation()

I tried it and worked in arcmap but in web appbuilder it says "error in the location "C:\Users\Maestro621\AppData\Roaming\ESRI\Desktop10.3\ArcCatalog\GeopDB.sde")
thanks Michelle

Using local paths on your machine isn't going to work in the tool in Web AppBuilder or ArcGIS Online as they are not connecting to your local machine. You need to be referencing the REST endpoint/hosted feature layer URL of the output layer in order for the tool to write to that layer.

Thank you Michelle, I am sorry I know I bother you with my questions but it's just the only problem remaining, I did pass all previous problems..Thank you and I will consider using the REST URL and I will let you know if that works.

Can you tell me please in what stage in the python script should I be referencing my hosted layer's REST URL, because I tried to put the REST URL instead of the local path in "arcpy.da.Editor("https://services8.arcgis.com.......") and it turns error

Here are some resources to help you with what functions are available and referencing a service:

ArcGIS API for Python | Editing Features

ArcGIS API for Python | Updating features in a feature layer

Using Python to Write Features to a Feature Service

If things are still unclear are reading those I would recommend posting to a python specific group/community like ArcGIS API for Python‌ or Python‌ to get more targeted help.

Thank you Michelle..so , what I understood from your answer is that the use of ArcgGIS API for python is essential..because so far I haven't used it , I've only used simple python scripts within ArcGis desktop then sharing them as Geoprocessing services.

Re: no feature is created from a model

Not necessarily. The issue you were running into was functions to make edits on services, not local data, and referencing services in the script. Those resources I provided where to help with the python functions for both as it is a bit different than working with local tasks and data.
