Geodatabase not getting updated - No errors returned

MatthewGerbrandt — Mon, 02 Jun 2014 21:13:48 GMT

I've got a geoprocessing service based on a python script. The script works great from ArcGIS Desktop but when run as a geoprocessing service, it does not update the geodatabase. It also does not provide any errors and I'm not seeing anything helpful in the server logs.

Here's what it does perfectly from the desktop:

1) Receive a username and street address.
2) Geocode that address to an XY coordinate using ArcGIS Online.
3) Write the data to a feature class in a file geodatabase.
4) Use Intersect_analysis to combine this data with a totally unrelated data set in another geodatabase.
5) Use Append_management to concatenate this new row of data onto a final feature class.

When I publish this script a geoprocessing tool, it simply doesn't work - at least not completely. All I get by way of user feedback from the REST endpoint is the following:

Job Status: esriJobSucceeded
Results: None

The geodatabase does not get updated. This seems like it might be a permissions issue, so here's what I've done:

1) Registered the geodatabase in ArcGIS Server Manager.
2) Gave the ArcGIS User account Read, Write, and Modify permissions on the directory which contains the geodatabase.

FWIW, my code is below. Any help would be much, much appreciated!
