Using python cursors in gpk

ModyBuchbinder — Tue, 10 May 2016 05:44:22 GMT

Hello

I created a tool based on python script and pack it into gpk.

When I try to run it from RT SDK for .net as local service it does not work.

After the line "p = row[0]" I get the error that p is not defined.

I am trying to read the coordinate of a layer that was created in the tool.

I tried both "old" cursors and the da cursor.

Is this a known limitation? How can I get the value of some records in the results (I would like to return it as a string).

Thanks

Hi,

Please can you share your Python script?

Cheers

Mike

Hi Mike

Thanks for the response; I was hoping to get your attention

My code do basic Viewshed operation but later on I will add more functionality to intersect with some polyline/polygon and determine the overlap area.

In my code I need to get the point coordinate to set the extent (works much quicker).

You can see the code that does not work in comment and the work around I found.

Even with this workaround it still does not work. It gives me error message about Desktop 10.2 that was installed once on my machine but now I have 10.3.1

I wonder if the cursor should work.

Thanks

import arcpy
obs = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0)
rad = arcpy.GetParameter(1)
# constants
arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True
dtm = r"C:\demos\RtGp\dem_itm.tif"
# temporary names
outRaster = arcpy.env.scratchFolder + r"\visRas.tif"
outVector = r"in_memory\visVec"
# set extent of operation
#with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(obs, "SHAPE@XY") as cursor:
#    for row in cursor:
#        p = row[0]
desc = arcpy.Describe(obs)
arcpy.env.extent = "%s %s %s %s" % (desc.extent.XMin - rad,desc.extent.YMin - rad,desc.extent.XMin + rad,desc.extent.YMin + rad)
#arcpy.env.extent = "%s %s %s %s" % (p[0] - rad,p[1] - rad,p[0] + rad,p[1] + rad)
# prepare observer
arcpy.AddField_management(obs,"OFFSETA","LONG")
arcpy.AddField_management(obs,"RADIUS2","LONG")
arcpy.CalculateField_management(obs,"OFFSETA",7, "PYTHON_9.3")
arcpy.CalculateField_management(obs,"RADIUS2",3000 , "PYTHON_9.3")
# start process - visibility
arcpy.Viewshed_3d(dtm,obs,outRaster)

Solved it

The python script did not get the input point for the observer so the layer was empty and the cursor retun nothing but did not fail.

When I translate everything to web mercator it all works.

I think you should write a paper about using local projection, this is needed in many local application that does not use AGOL.

Thanks
