Use script tool output parameter in model builder

[JulietteLapeyre]

I created a model builder which produce a summary statistics table, and a script tool which use this table in input, and tranpose it the way I whish to display results. I then want to join the reformated table from script tool, to a layer.

The issue is that the output of the script tool is not created, and I don't understand why.

1) summary statistics table created in the model builder

id	disruptive_element	disruptive_surface
29	cp	800
29	rb	500
29	aut	300
30	cp	400

2) transposed table, produced in the script tool

id	cp	rb	aut
29	800	500	400
30	400	0	0

I defined the input and output parameters in the script tool properties, and wrote the script in the execution tab.

 At the end of the script, there are the following lines. the csv is saved, but the table is not created in the geodatabse.

# Set local variables
out_name = "outStats.csv"
saving_path = os.path.join(homeFolder, out_name)
pivot_df.to_csv(saving_path, sep=',', index=True)

arcpy.MakeTableView_management(in_table=saving_path, out_view='viewtemp')
outTab = arcpy.TableToTable_conversion('viewtemp', defaultGDB, 'tempTable')
arcpy.SetParameter(1, outTab)

3) Join the previous table to a polygon layer, which contains the ids

this step doesn't work yet

are the sys.args[i] indexing in your execution code correct? Should they be 0 and 1 perhaps?

Hi Jeff,

yes it is correct. sys.argv[i] starts from 1, and Get/SetParameter[i] starts from 0.

It works now, I forgot to check 'add to display' in my model builder...
