ExtractDataTask Raster dataset

rpavuluri — Thu, 14 Jan 2021 15:50:45 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to use extractdatatask for both vectors and rasters datasets stored inside file geodatabase (fgdb). I can run the task locally and publish to ArcGIS Server(10.4.1). When I try to run it using the out of the box rest query, with vectors, the job runs fine. When I add a raster layer to the inputs, the job fails. I tried giving <GPServiceName>/<RasterLayerName> and it still fails. I am ending up with either

ERROR 000732: Layers to Clip: Dataset <GPServiceName>/<RasterLayerName> does not exist or is not supported.

ERROR 000800: The value is not a member of inputlayername1 | inputlayername2 etc..

Please let me know how I can I resolve this issue. Also, should I skip this and use extract by mask or others for my raster extract to work? My final goal is to use this service with ESRI JSAPI (4.X).

System Environment: ArcGIS Server 10.4.1 running on Windows Server 2012 R2.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @rpavuluri ,

The extract data task does not work on raster layers or raster datasets. Based on the documentation:

Syntax: As described in detail in the Feature Input topic, this parameter can be one of the following: A list of URLs to a feature service layer with an optional filter to select specific features A list of feature collections.

Instead, you may want to look into the Export Image operation if you are using an image service, or the Clip Raster tool if you are using a locally stored raster dataset.

Hi Calvin,

Thanks for your response. Sorry, my description was not clear. I was using the ExtractDataTask GP tool that comes with ArcMap toolbox (Server tools). It supports extraction of both vectors and rasters in the same tool.

https://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/10.4/tools/server-toolbox/extract-data-task.htm

Few questions on your suggestions.

1) I believe Export Image requires an Image Server Extension on top of ArcGIS Server license. Please correct me if I am wrong.

2) Does Clip Raster tool work with ArcGIS Server?

Thanks!

From the documentation page, It looks like the Export Image operation only requires an Image Server role on 10.5+ when running against a mosaic dataset published as an image service.
Yes, you can publish the result of a Clip Raster tool as a geoprocessing service

Thanks again Calvin. I figured out the issue with my initial problem. The GP service required to have same ArcMap version to that of ArcGIS Server (I was using ArcMap 10.7 earlier). I only have to deal with one service now for downloads. Hope this helps someone with similar issue.

It is a bit odd that the version compatibility arises only when rasters are involved and the error is not clear enough.

Thanks!
