Geoprocessing widget has me stumped

SimonMorgan · ‎08-05-2011

I would like to have a GP widget that invovles no map input. It is all give me the input table and the output table and then it saves a feature class to disk. Here is my config file, the GP service runs fine outside of flexviewer. I have tried makign the output params inputs to no avail.

I want to take user input of x,y & name and append the point to SDE feature layer as part of the tool. I am also facing a similar problem. Did you happen to work around the issue?

Anyone find an answer how to add a point by having the user add an XY using the geoprocessing widget? I'm a little confused, in the documentation it lists "recordset" as a valid input parameter type in the tag documentation, but in the geoprocessing widget documentation it states:

"#2. RasterDataLayer & RecordSet types are not supported as input parameters."

Dan,

If you have the ability to amend the source code it may be easier to create yourself a widget.
If you set yourself two input boxes (in this case one with an id="longText" and one with the id="latText") you can then create a feature set that gets sent to the gp service.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<viewer:BaseWidget xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
                   xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
                   xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
       xmlns:esri="http://www.esri.com/2008/ags"
       xmlns:viewer="com.esri.viewer.*"
     >
<fx:Script>
<![CDATA[

private function AddXY():void
{
var myMapPoint:MapPoint = new MapPoint(Number(longText.text),Number(latText.text),map.spatialReference)
var myFeatureSet:FeatureSet = new FeatureSet([{geometry:myMapPoint}]);
myFeatureSet.geometryType = "esriGeometryPoint";
var params:Object = { 
"Point_Input": myFeatureSet,  //this assumes your gp service is expecting an input called Point_Input
};
gp.execute(params);
}

]]>
</fx:Script>
<fx:Declarations>
<esri:Geoprocessor id="gp" url="your gp URL" useAMF="false" executeComplete="some event "  outSpatialReference="{map.spatialReference}" fault="some event " />
  
</fx:Declarations>

<viewer:WidgetTemplate id="wTemplate"> 

<s:HGroup width="100%" horizontalAlign="left" verticalAlign="middle">
<s:Label width="60" id="latLabel" text="Latitude:" />
<s:TextInput width="100" maxChars="9" id="latText" restrict="0-9\." />
<s:Label width="60" id="longLabel" text="Longitude:" />         
<s:TextInput width="100" maxChars="9" id="longText" restrict="0-9\." />
<s:Button width="100" label="Add XY" click="AddXY()" />
</s:HGroup>

</viewer:WidgetTemplate>

</viewer:BaseWidget>

This will send a single point to the gp service its up to your model what you want to do with it

Hope this is of some help

Regards

Anthony

...in the documentation it lists "recordset" as a valid input parameter type in the tag documentation, but in the geoprocessing widget documentation it states: ... "RecordSet types are not supported as input parameters."

Recordset parameters are only supported as output. We will correct the tag reference documentation.
