publishing services without Arcgis for Desktop

wushuang — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 14:19:06 GMT

I have installed Arcgis for Server 10.1 and I want to publish some services on this server, but I don't have licenses of Arcgis for Desktop. I want to know can I publish a service without Arcgis for Desktop. I know the module Arcpy can build and publish a service, but I didn't find this module in my disc of Arcgis for Server, can I get this module without Arcgis for Desktop?

Hi Wu,

can I publish a service without Arcgis for Desktop. I know the module Arcpy can build and publish a service, but I didn't find this module in my disc of Arcgis for Server, can I get this module without Arcgis for Desktop?

Yes, you can publish existing maps with ArcPy if you only have ArcGIS for Server and don't have ArcGIS for Desktop. However, you cannot author new maps. FYI there is a code sample here:

CreateMapSDDraft (arcpy.mapping)

Hope this helps,

Thank you very mush, but I have another problem for this...

I found Arcpy in ~/server/tools and I use the example Publish a map service from a map document (MXD) (http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#/Example_Publish_a_map_service_from_a_map_document_MXD/0155000005r7000000/) to publish my service. I have created a connection file with the example CreateGISServerConnectionFile (http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#/CreateGISServerConnectionFile/00s300000079000000/) and I run the script like this : /opt/arcgis/server/tools/python publishMXD.py. I have got a error :

wine: Unhandled page fault at address 0x7faf6e7d44b8 (thread 0062), starting debugger...
Unhandled exception: page fault in 64-bit code (0x00007faf6e7d44b8).
Register dump:

I look for this error in Internet but i have got nothing, and I use the same code on Windows, it susses. I'm using Linux SUSE enterprise in a virtual machine. Did you know what's the problem, may I have some configuration error in my Linux.

Thank you

What line of your script is it failing on?

arcpy.mapping.CreateMapSDDraft(mapDoc, sddraft, service, 'ARCGIS_SERVER', con, True, None, summary, tags)

This line, it is failing on when i add a communication file ( variable con ) .

I have changed the line by this one and it work...

arcpy.mapping.CreateMapSDDraft(mapDoc, sddraft, service, 'ARCGIS_SERVER')

I have no ideal what's the problem... I have a question, we still use a module wine to similar a environment windows on Arcgis for Server 10.1 ?

There are some issues with supplying a connection file into CreateMapSdDraft on ArcGIS Server on Linux. I suspect that you are hitting one of these issues. As a workaround, you can supply the connection file when you upload the service:

arcpy.UploadServiceDefinition_server(sd, con)

And yes, ArcGIS Server 10.1 on Linux uses WINE technology.

So, we still lose some performance on Arcgis for Server 10.1 (Linux) ?

Hi Wu,

I believe what Jeff meant was that if you supply the connection file info when you upload the service, you should be fine. There was no implied performance issue with Server 10.1.

Hope this helps,
