I'm having issues submitting string input to a GP Service. Using AGS 10.4.1. The service has one input parameter of string type, but every time I run the service it runs it with the default string input rather than the value I am passing to the GP Service. How do you get it to accept your new string input? I'm calling the service from Javascript API 3.23. I upload a zip file and accept string input from a form element:
<form id="uploadForm" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
State Abbreviation: <input type="text" name="stateAbbrev" id="stateAbbrev"><br>
<label class="custom-file-upload"><input type="file" name="file" id="dataUpload"/>File Upload</label>
<input type="button" value="Upload" id="upload"/>
</form>
Then, after clicking the upload button, it gets to this function:
function uploadSucceeded(response) {
var itemID = response["item"].itemID;
var dataFile = new esri.tasks.DataFile();
dataFile.itemID = itemID;
var stateAbbrv = document.getElementById("stateAbbrev").value;
console.log("File upload successful");
var params = {"Input_Zip_File": dataFile, "State_Abbreviation": stateAbbrv};
console.log('Input parameters: '+ dojo.toJson(params));
gp.submitJob(params, gpJobComplete, gpJobStatus, function(error){
console.error(error.jobStatus + '(' + error.jobId + '):' + dojo.toJson(error));
});
}
In the function above, the line
var params = {"Input_Zip_File": dataFile, "State_Abbreviation": stateAbbrv};
sets the State_Abbreviation parameter to the new user-supplied string input. This prints out correctly in the browser console:
Input parameters: {"Input_Zip_File":{"itemID":"i0cd7358b-f7d4-4238-8d10-4bbdc624e895"},"State_Abbreviation":"AR"}
But, using messages in the browser console, I can see it's running the GP Service using the default string input of "TN" which is the value the GP Service was published with (thus it becomes the default value). I need to somehow override that value, but I can't figure out how?
