Geoprocessing Service with output Feature Layer

JillianStanford — Mon, 22 May 2023 14:38:51 GMT

Hello!

I am trying to successfully return a feature layer as the output of the GP service and having absolutely no luck.

I have a very simple python toolbox tool with the following output parameter:

out_features = arcpy.Parameter( displayName="Output Features", name="out_features", datatype="GPFeatureRecordSetLayer", parameterType="Derived", direction="Output") return [out_features]

The main code block looks like this:

def execute(self, parameters, messages): """The source code of the tool.""" inFeatures = r"D:\Projects\OCTA\LODES\data\Test_GP_Service\Test_GP_Service.gdb\Parcels_SaltLakeSub" out_fc = arcpy.CreateScratchName("out_features", data_type="FeatureClass", workspace=arcpy.env.scratchGDB) out_fc = arcpy.analysis.Buffer(inFeatures, out_fc, 100).getOutput(0) arcpy.AddMessage(out_fc) #parameters[0].value = out_fc arcpy.SetParameter(0, out_fc) return

I'm able to execute the tool successfully and publish the results to a standalone ArcGIS Server.

When I submit the job, the logs say that everything was executed successfully and the feature class in scratch.gdb in the related arcgisjobs folder looks correct on the server.

However, when I try and view the contents of the output either using the REST endpoint by submitting a job using Javascript, it is always empty.

Somehow, I'm not setting up the output parameter correctly but I can't figure out the trick.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Jill

In case it's helpful to someone else, changing the output parameter type to "DEFeatureClass" did the trick.

out_features = arcpy.Parameter( displayName="Output Features", name="out_features", datatype="DEFeatureClass", parameterType="Derived", direction="Output") return [out_features]

Hi Jillian,

I am having the same issue that unable to see the output through javascript but on standalone it works perfectly.

I am trying to set up the Parameters through ArcGIS Pro and I do not see the option named DEFeatureClass. Do you know what name would be similar to DE Feature class?

Thank you for your time.

Hi,

I think it would just be a feature class - Parameter data types in a Python toolbox
