Create Map Tile Package - Cannot run python script

VitorFranca · ‎03-09-2016

Hi folks,

Using ArcGIS version is 10.2.2, I am trying to use arcpy.CreateMapTilePackage_management() GP tool in the script bellow to automate production of a large quantity of map packages to be used in handheld devices. I can create packages using the menu - File > Share As > Tile Package, but can not put the script to work, neither using ArcMap Python window or IDLE. I get the same error message:

Runtime error

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "<string>", line 14, in <module>

File "c:\program files (x86)\arcgis\desktop10.2\arcpy\arcpy\management.py", line 7170, in CreateMapTilePackage

raise e

RuntimeError: Object: Error in executing tool

Here is my script:

import arcpy, os

import arcpy.mapping

mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument('CURRENT')

df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd, "MSR") [0]

# Cursor

for row in arcpy.SearchCursor("T_LM_SETORES"):

df.extent = row.SHAPE.extent # ajusta a extensao do dataframe a extensao do setor

df.scale = df.scale * 1.1 # ajusta a escala para dar uma margem maior ao setor no mapa

arcpy.RefreshActiveView()

geocodigo = row.getValue("cd_geocodigo")

mxd.save()

print("Saving map tile package for sector " + geocodigo)

arcpy.CreateMapTilePackage_management( mxd, "ONLINE", r"G:\\BaseTerritorial\\Atendimentos\\2PP_CensoAgro\\MapTilePackages\\" + geocodigo + ".tpk", "JPEG", "19", "#", "Test map package generation", "tag1, tag2")

can you format your code Code Formatting... the basics++

... and use single \ if you are using raw notation not double... it gets messy

>>> x = r"G:\\BaseTerritorial\\Atendimentos\\2PP_CensoAgro\\MapTilePackages\\"

>>> x

'G:\\\\BaseTerritorial\\\\Atendimentos\\\\2PP_CensoAgro\\\\MapTilePackages\\\\'

I would have expected a different error message since your file path ends in a backslash

>>> geocodigo = "x"
>>> x = r"G:\BaseTerritorial\Atendimentos\2PP_CensoAgro\MapTilePackages\" + geocodigo + ".tpk"
Traceback (  File "<interactive input>", line 1
    x = r"G:\BaseTerritorial\Atendimentos\2PP_CensoAgro\MapTilePackages\" + geocodigo + ".tpk"
                                                                                             ^
SyntaxError: EOL while scanning string literal


>>> x = r"G:\BaseTerritorial\Atendimentos\2PP_CensoAgro\MapTilePackages" + "\\" + geocodigo + ".tpk"
>>>
