Geoprocessing Service: jpeg map returned as html url

PeterWilson — Sat, 11 Dec 2021 16:31:38 GMT

I need some advice and direction from the ESRI community. We have made use of the CMV Viewer for a project that we are involved in:

Each point refers to the landowners letter and map indicating the irrigated and non irrigated fields on a land parcel (farm portion)

The output map is currently generated from a python script, accessing the data directly from the SDE SQL Enterprise Geodatabase based on an mxd that I setup and saved under the server.

The output jpeg looks like the following:

What I need to do is convert my python script that it generates the output jpeg (map) using the rest services within the viewer and not accessing the data from the SDE SQL Geodatabase. The Geoprocessing service needs to use as input argument the land parcel ID and the output jpeg needs to be return as an HTML Url that can be consumed by the hyperlink "More Info" that triggers an SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Services) that generates the letter and needs to embed the jpeg thats returned as a Url.

The print Geoprocessing Service almost does what I wan't , but I still need to handle the map template, and does the jpeg need to be saved to hard disk or could it be saved into memory and returned as an Url that the SSRS can use to embed into the letter.

I don't have any experience in JavaScript, so what do I need to learn to achieve the following. Any suggestions and sample Geoprocessing Services that achieve an similar result to guide me will be greatly be appreciated.
