Geoprocessing Task with No Parameters?

ionarawilson1 — Thu, 03 Oct 2013 14:41:54 GMT

Is it possible to run a geoprocessing service (gp task) in a web app without passing any parameters? If so how would I change the submitjob function to have no parameters

gp.submitJob(params, completeCallback , statusCallback,function(error){ //          alert(error);

I'm going to assume we're talking about the Javascript API. As per the API documentation, inputParameters are required for the submitJob method. If you don't want to pass anything you could just have

var inputParams = ""; gp.submitJob(inputParams.....

...provided that the corresponding GP service doesn't actually require any input parameters. In this case I suppose you'd have things like the input data parameter hardcoded into the underlying Python script?

Thank you Ryan. I will try that. Yes, I have it coded in Python. I will also try submitting with one parameter. Thanks
