Toolbox Python script problem : arcgisscripting.ExecuteError

[ChloéV]

Hi everyone !

I've started to code a new toolbox with python scripts. All tools are from arcpy : it's just a sequence of arcgis functions.

For instance, first step, I want to create a slope raster. So I call the function SurfaceParameters.

I've imported the function like that :

from arcpy.ra import SurfaceParameters as SurfaceParameters_ra

If I do it as described (from .ra import SurfaceParameters as SurfaceParameters_ra), I get this error message : "ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package". But I think I've found a solution (but not sure ?), by importing as above.

Then, I simply create a slope raster by using SurfaceParameters, and I copy this raster in a new raster layer :

Finally, I get this error :

I try to understand where is the error, but I'm tying myself into knots right now!

I hope someone could help me, and I am really sorry if my request is quite idiot...

Sorry for my english too.

Best regards from France.

Chloe

If you are working locally why not use

Surface Parameters (Spatial Analyst)—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation

because the one you are using from ra is against portal and expects...

outputRasterName (String):
The name of the output raster service.

whereas you just provided a name
