HelloI'm making a geoprocessing service that returns a .pdf fileAs I saw in some examples I used the scratchFolder :
outputFile = os.path.join(arcpy.env.scratchFolder, myPDFFile)
arcpy.SetParameterAsText(7, outputFile)
Once published on the server, the file is recorded here :D:\arcgisserver\directories\arcgisjobs\myGeoprocessing\j8ba6feb42bce4586971ad1abc33aac81\scratch\myPDFFILE.pdfWhen I use the geoprocessingService it returns an 'url' :http://myServer:6080/arcgis/rest/dir.../myPDFFILE.pdf----------------------------------------------------------Here is my problem :I'd like to return more than just a file. I'd like to return an object that contains my file directory and other pieces of information.
def packResultsToJson(result):
# -- result looks like :
# result={}
# result['succeed']=True
# result['url']=myPDFFile
# result['failedLayers']=failedServices
# result['error']="NoError"
# result['timeElapsed'] = str(time.time() - start_time) + " seconds"
arcpy.SetParameterAsText(7, result)
In this case, my pdf directory is inside an object. Once published on the server, the physical windows path is no longer converted as a server 'url' (so the client receives : 'D:\arcgisserver\directories\arcgisjobs\myGeoprocessing\j8ba6feb42bce4586971ad1abc33aac81\scratch\myPDFFILE.pdf')Is it possible to explicitly call the function that convert the physical windows path to an url ?If this is not possible, is there a better way to achieve what I'm trying to do ?
