So, I'm fairly certain the answer to this is no, but maybe I'm wrong. Wouldn't be the first time, won't be the last.
I have a requirement that could be easily met using Notebook server to execute a wee python script on a scheduled basis. This one requirement does not merit standing up and (more importantly) licensing a new ArcGIS Server, just to run this script. So, is it possible to add the Notebook Server role to my existing ArcGIS Server (Map Server)? If so, does this require its own license?
You raise some good points for consideration. I honestly had not considered how the Notebook Server capabilities have been implemented. It could be they get packaged into a geoprocessing task. For context, the specific "wee script" I have in this case is to simply iterate over a Feature Class's features (all 100 or so of them), and update the "status" field, based on the timespan between Now() and the datetime in the feature's "LastInspected" field. There's a map service published with a layer representing these features, symbolized by status. And before anyone suggests it, this is outside the context of Web Maps, so Arcade Scripts are off the table.
Yes, this is simple to do via a Windows Scheduled task that runs a Python script. The point of my post is to learn more about the tools available. This isn't about providing other users the ability to run their own scripts.
