Use of exportwebmap from printing toolset

AyyazMahmood-Paracha — Mon, 22 Jul 2019 18:43:12 GMT

Hello everyone,

I need one guidance regarding the utilsiation of task arcpy.ExportWebMap_server.

I want to use this task in one of my geo processing synchrone service. During my unit testing, I publish the following geo processing service:

import arcpy
arcpy.env.workspace="/app/testprint"
WebMapAsJson = arcpy.GetParameter(0)
FormatPrint = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1)
LayOutTemplate = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(2)
PrintName = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(3)
testPrintCommand = arcpy.ExportWebMap_server(Web_Map_as_JSON=WebMapAsJson, Output_File=PrintName, Format=FormatPrint, Layout_Templates_Folder="", Layout_Template=LayOutTemplate)

When I execute this code through Python installed on server, the code runs and generates a PNG in the folder /app/testprint without any error. Whereas when I publish the geo-processing service, the code returns me the output filename (\\app\testprint\<filename>.png) but no file is generated.

Can anyone please guide me, how can I can make this code works. Any guidance or clue will be useful for me.

Thanks

Hi Ayyaz, Did you ever get to the bottom of this? I'm having exactly the same problems.

Thanks,

Neil

Hi Neil,

Unfortunatley not. I tried but did not find any solution. Then I implemented my print service through:

result = arcpy.mapping.ConvertWebMapToMapDocument(mapAsJson, templateMxd)
mxd = result.mapDocument
outputName = 'WebMap_{}'.format(str(uuid.uuid1()))
outputFile = os.path.join(arcpy.env.scratchFolder,outputName)
if fileFormatLower == 'pdf':
## arcpy.mapping.ExportToPDF(mxd, outputFile, resolution = int(dpi))
arcpy.mapping.ExportToPDF(mxd,outputFile)
outputFile = outputFile+".pdf"

So I had to implement for each format. I followed this documentation. ExportToPDF—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop

Hopefully, it will help you
