Create Geoprocessing Service from Python Script Tool for use in Web App Builder

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to piece this process together, but can anyone point me in the direction on how to publish a python script tool to ArcGIS Server as a geoprocessing service for the purpose of using it within the geoprocessing widget in ArcGIS Web App Builder? The script tool runs successfully within Pro, but ideally I would like to use it within an existing Web App Builder application. The script tool uses an input polygon layer, which has a URL link to a pdf document for each polygon record. Within ArcGIS Pro and after selecting polygons, the tool will output the pdf documents to a specified output folder (technically an input parameter). Assuming that this tool can be published as a geoprocessing service, how would the user select polygons within the web app builder application or geoprocessing widget? Below is the python code for the for the tool as well as a snip of the tool in ArcGIS Pro and a list of its parameters. Any help or guidance on this subject would be greatly appreciated!

import arcpy import os import requests fc = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0) dest_path = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1) print(fc) cursor = arcpy.SearchCursor(fc) with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(fc, ['LINK']) as cursor: for row in cursor: print("Downloading: " + row[0]) response = requests.get(row[0]) outputFile = row[0].split("/")[5] print(outputFile) with open(dest_path + '\\' + outputFile, 'wb') as f: print(f) f.write(response.content) del cursor

You need to publish the tool to the server to make it gp service.

You have some issue with such a script as a service.

Does the server (and the user that runs it) have access to the fc and dest_path?

Using gp services need some thinking about access rights and multiple requests from different users
