Hi, I need to know the scale of an mxd in a web application. For that I am running a geoprocessing service. I need to know the scale when there is a definition query and the map zooms in to that feature. I can see in the message that the scale changes, but the output in the web application is always the same scale, although the input feature changes. What am I doing wrong? Thank you for any help.

# Input Layout template
Layout_Template = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0)
if Layout_Template == '#' or not Layout_Template:
Layout_Template = "StewardshipTractBoundaryMap"
layouttemplatemxd = Layout_Template
templatePath = 'D:/ArcGISData/Geoprocessing_Examples/Advanced_HighQualityPrinting3'
Selecting_Features = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1)
Input_Polygons = "Stewardship"
mxd0 = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(r"D:\ArcGISData\Geoprocessing_Examples\Advanced_HighQualityPrinting3\\" + layouttemplatemxd + ".mxd")
df1 = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd0, "DataFrame1")[0]
mxd0.activeView = df1
lyr1 = arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd0, Input_Polygons, df1)[0]
lyr1.definitionQuery = ""
lyr1.definitionQuery = '"PlanID" = \'%s\'' % Selecting_Features
df1.panToExtent(lyr1.getSelectedExtent())
lyr1.getExtent()
lyr1extent = lyr1.getExtent()
df1.extent = lyr1extent
Scale = str(df1.scale)
arcpy.RefreshTOC()
arcpy.RefreshActiveView()
mxd0.save()
arcpy.SetParameterAsText(2, Scale)
lyr1.definitionQuery = ""
arcpy.RefreshTOC()
arcpy.RefreshActiveView()
arcpy.AddMessage(Scale)
mxd0.save()
del mxd0, df1, lyr1
