I noticed there is an Upload operation method for each GP service, but it returns an ItemId. what should I do to consume/manipulate this uploaded file in the geoprocessing methods I wrote? i.e., how to access this file based on this ItemId? then will be able to delete this file? as in my case, I only need to read the file content, don't want to leave the file on server. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>any ideas on this one? </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>thanks for any replies!!</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 21 Jun 2013 21:11:30 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-questions/soe-amp-amp-file-uploading-possible-to-accept-file/m-p/355393#M13699 SimonLeo 2013-06-21T21:11:30Z Re: SOE & File Uploading: possible to accept File as input parameter? https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-questions/soe-amp-amp-file-uploading-possible-to-accept-file/m-p/355394#M13700 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>I haven't tried upload file but for shapefile you can use the ArcGIS Portal REST API to generate features from a shapefile (</SPAN><A href="http://www.arcgis.com/apidocs/rest/generate.html">http://www.arcgis.com/apidocs/rest/generate.html</A><SPAN>).</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>There is a sample here with sl: </SPAN><A href="http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/silverlight-api/samples/start.htm#GenerateFeatures">http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/silverlight-api/samples/start.htm#GenerateFeatures</A><BR /><BR /><SPAN>However Esri upload file via rest (see attachments </SPAN><A href="http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisserver/10.0/apis/rest/fsaddattachment.html">http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisserver/10.0/apis/rest/fsaddattachment.html</A><SPAN> ) use post with a multi-part request as per IETF RFC1867.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Sat, 22 Jun 2013 10:00:14 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-questions/soe-amp-amp-file-uploading-possible-to-accept-file/m-p/355394#M13700 nicogis 2013-06-22T10:00:14Z
