topic GP Service - Shared dataframe object to improve the performance in ArcGIS Enterprise Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-questions/gp-service-shared-dataframe-object-to-improve-the/m-p/672994#M25658 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I published a GP service to ArcGIS server. I found that the operation speed is extermely slow because of the function ListDataFrames. To define&nbsp;a dataframe object with respect to my mxd, it spended 3 mins. Actually, I do not need to&nbsp;change the dataframe&nbsp;in my operation. Therefore, it wastes the time on defining the dataframe object when the GP service is called each time.</P><P>Is any method to define the&nbsp;dataframe object and keep it alive in my GP service so that dataframe will not be defined each time&nbsp;when the GP service is called?
