I have Monitor 2024.0 It was working fine but one day it stopped give me information about services. The Server host (memory and cpu) are fine and I can see them. I can see the list of services (mainly gp services) but I get no info about how many times they been called or response time. I can see all info in server manager. The monitor even getting the min/max instances info. Running the observer manually or checking the log just say that the request fail. I tried also to disconnect the server and register again but it does not help. Any idea?

I have a GpService that create a shape file. In my code I am writing this file to %scratchFolder%\aaa.shp It is created in this directory (as it should): \\disk1\arcgisserver\directories\arcgisjobs\agritest_gpserver\1234\scratch\aaa.shp Where the 1234 is the job number. I can use the %scratchFolder%\aaa.shp in my code after is it created (Describe or read it by cursor). I need to use this file in the calling program so I return the %scratchFolder%\aaa.shp as an output parameter. The path that I get is: C:\Users\arcgis\AppData\Local\Temp\agritest_gpserver\1234\scratch\aaa.shp Where arcgis is the owner of the Enterprise and 1234 is the same job number. This dir exists on the server but it is empty. It looks like it created there temporary and was transferred to the jobs directory after the service ended. Any way to get the job directory in the code of the gp service so I can return the correct directory?

I have Pro 3.4 that uses Python 3.11 When I use the same python in pychrm it think it is 3.9 In the attached screen shot you can see a few lines in Pro Python window that show the version and a screen from pycharm that show different version taken from the same directory. In some other machines when I have Pro 3.3 pycharm see version 3.1 that is not supported and does not include all the features of 3.11 Anybody see this?

Is the first parameter to the tool (ducts) a layer in pro or a FC on disk? It must be a layer in Pro since the spatial join is on a layer and not on the real data. You can always use the Gp tool once and then copy the code from the History window.

Portal does not have Python env, only server does. The best way to run Python in server is to use GP service but there should be something calling this service. Stand alone python can be run using the server python env.

If you use the python that comes with server it should use the server license see here: https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/server/latest/develop/windows/scripting-service-publishing-with-arcpy.htm Note that sometime when you install both Pro and server on the same machine there is a mix between the python installations and it uses the wrong license even if you use the server's python. It better not to install Pro on the server machine.

I found the way to do it but it still in testing. First you create and publish a separate script ("child") that do the part that should be executed in parallel. It gets parameters just like any gp service. Then you write a tool that run gp service (use this: https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/server/10.8/publish-services/windows/using-a-service-in-python-scripts.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_76BCC792830C479298250C5C06652EE6 ). In such a script you can control the number of parallel instances, giving each one a different variable and then check that all instances are finished before continue the father script that aggregate or append the results. the child script should return his private results to the caller somehow (url to the results or string). After the father script was running in Pro I had not problem publishing it as gp service as a "father" service. Running this father service I could see the number of running processes for the "child" service going up when the father script run a few instances of the child in parallel.

Hi all My message setting is info and I get NO messages. I am aware of the resources problem. If you use multiprocessing wisely you can limit the number of parallel processes. If you have a server with many cores and each gp service do a lot of work but does not called very often you should be able to get better performance. Currently the tool just ended without calling the function I need to run in parallel. Again, it works on Pro so my code is working. Something in the server env stopping it. Thanks

I would like to use multiprocessing module in python to use more cores in process that I can split to independent parts. I create a small script. Running it in Pro works (but open a CMD window) and I could publish it to the server. It does not work on the server and gives no error message. Second test that I tried is to write a python that uses multiprocessing. Then create a short bat file that call this script. Then my main script in pro just do os.system(bat file). Again, runs in Pro, published with no comments but does not run on server. Found this: https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/usage-of-multiprocessing-in-a-python-based/m-p/50820#M4017 from few years back with no answer. Anybody have an idea? Thanks

Hi Marco We are going to use local PostgreSQL to keep very few (5-10) layers with about 1-2M features each. We need best performance with drawing and some statistics in dashboards. Can you give a few hints about the configuration assuming that I do not have the time to become an expert in PostgreSQL configuration? Thanks

‎05-13-2025

Hi Marco Thanks for the information but our configuration are a little different. Both the hosted database and the stand alone Postgres are in the same network segment and have identical network. The question is really did esri done any tricks to make the hosted better then just standard installation of Postgres? Thanks

‎05-12-2025

We have some simple large layers (about 1M features) that we like to display and use in Dashboards with some statistics. We can save them to hosted database (that is really Postgres) or build our out Postgres database. There are some advantages and disadvantage to both option. Do you think the performances should be different? Do you think esri build the Postgres of the hosted in a different way that we install a local Postgres? Thanks

It will also be nice if the event can return something that will stop the tool (cancel code?)

I work a lot with gp services. This is very powerful tool but the doc's are not great and there are some bugs. I could not do it without access the server directory and see the published script. In most cases when you see the published script and you understand what the publish process do you can fix the original script and republished. In some cases, updating the published script is the easiest way. It is unsupported but I got this advise from esri support. Dropping extra quote is something you can do on the published script. If you do not have access to the server I would install local server just for these tests Have fun

Hi Wolf Thanks for the answer. Do you see any way to remove any GPtools from Pro on startup time? Maybe with Configuration? Maybe overwrite it with my own tool (that will make some tools before running the original tool)? Thanks
