ArcGIS Engine - Execute CreateRuntimeContent GeoProcess Command

JimFiddes

Hello Everyone

I have an ArcGIS Engine application and I'm attempting to provide a command to my end users which will allow them to create a *.tpk file from their map document (*.mxd). My goal is to have our clients use our Engine product to create a tile package which will be consumed within our new CAD ArcGIS Runtime .Net product.

Not all our clients will have access to ArcMap to create these tpk files so I would like to give them the ability to create these files in lieu of.

Prior to making this post I did scour the api documentation ESRI.ArcGIS.DataManagementTools but couldn't come up with anything.

I appreciate any help on how to move forward.

Thanks

Jim

I tested it on my machine and everything appears to work fine. I used the managed approach.

string mxdPath = BrowseForFile("Map Document", "Map Document (*.mxd)|*.mxd");


Geoprocessor gp = new Geoprocessor {OverwriteOutput = true};


try
{
    CreateMapTilePackage tool = new CreateMapTilePackage
    {
        in_map = mxdPath,
        service_type = "ONLINE",
        output_file = mxdPath.Replace(".mxd", ".tpk"),
        format_type = "PNG",
        level_of_detail = 3,
        summary = "test",
        tags = "test"
    };


    IGeoProcessorResult2 result = gp.Execute(tool, null) as IGeoProcessorResult2;


    if (result.ReturnValue is string)
    {
        object sev = 0;
        Console.WriteLine(gp.GetMessages(ref sev));
    }
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
    object sev = 2;
    Console.WriteLine(gp.GetMessages(ref sev));
}

Prior to calling the tool you could open the map document with IMapDocument and then check or set the description using IDocumentInfo. I believe that description is the Comments property.

IDocumentInfo Interface

Hey Freddie

I've run this code is a small test project and I'm receiving an error in the Catch statement.

ERROR 001117: Map description property must be set

Failed to execute (CreateMapTilePackage).

When I look at the properties of CreateMapTilePackage, "Description" is not an option to assign. When I go into ArcMap and look at the wizard for create a tile package there, Description is an option. Thoughts?

I will create a small test project to test this but this is exactly what I was looking for. I don't know how I didn't see the CreateMapTilePackage withing the GeoProcessing namespace but I see it now.

Thanks,

Freddie

Are you needing to run the Create Map Tile Package data management tool against the geoprocessor?
