2. The field name length is limited. User has to mouse over to see the full name.     Please see attached screen. If I mouse over it, it says "Number of Employees"; otherwise     it is cut short in display. How to fix the display? Not sure if it is supported in version 2.4, but this is now controlled in the popuprendererskin with width setting at the top of the skin code. R_ ... View more

Normally get that error when the mxd is being viewed in ArcMap or ArcCatalog at the time the script runs. Can't just close file either, need to exit ArcMap/Catalog before you run the script.  Also, look in task manager and make sure there isn't a "runaway" arcmap that is "locking" the file. R_ ...

Fraser, Just played with this a little, if you only want the two basemaps, and no choice, this is what I did. I set my first basemap to have maxscale="4000" and my second to have minscale="4000" and set both visible="true" in the main config. This way, it displays the one up until 1:4000, zoom in again and it switches to the other basemap. However, you still get the list of available basemaps to choose from, so, I went into (I'm using eMapSwitcherWidget, but MapSwitcher is similar) to the eMapSwitcherWidget.mxml, down near the bottom there is the basemapsButton id. I changed as follows:         <s:Button id="basemapsButton"                   includeIn="thumbnailOptions"                   label="{basemapsLabel}"                   rollOut="startBasemapsHideTimer(event)"                   rollOver="basemapsButton_rollOverHandler(event)"                   skinClass="com.esri.viewer.skins.BasemapsButtonSkin"       visible="false"/> This way, you no longer get the basemap button or options, and it will always have a basemap loaded depending on what scale they are currently at.

@Wayne, thanks.. I tried it both ways.. this time it ran through the process and executed the xytoline_management tool..  I checked the env and it was correct this time.. thanks for the heads up.. :0)  anyways, the tool ran and the csv was converted to lines.. but then it threw another error.. same as the first..  here is the error message...  Traceback (most recent call last):   File "C:\temp\GIS_projects\Sample_tripData\test.py", line 22, in <module>     arcpy.XYToLine_management(input_table,fc,"TSLONGDD","TSLATDD","TELONGDD","TELATDD","GEODESIC","TRIPSEQNUM")   File "C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.1\arcpy\arcpy\management.py", line 2913, in XYToLine     raise e ExecuteError: ERROR 999999: Error executing function.

Any chance you have set the file association to python (instead of Notebook.exe) for the service account? You would have to log onto the computer using this account, then go through the steps above to make sure the service account is associating the files with python. It sounds like it is associating it correctly when using your profile.  Just a thought, try it and see if it helps, R_ also, as Michael said above, do you have it set to run whether logged on or not?  in Win7, they use new network authentication, and I can NOT make it work with the user logged on or not as our group policy (set by the domain admins) does not allow passing the password over the network.  As a "workaround", I have to leave my scripting machine logged on at all times with my service account. ...

One way would be to get raster properties, but, of course, you need to make sure that the raster datasets all have staticstics calculated first. Not sure if there is a faster way, as getrasterproperties is not the "fastest" method around. import arcpy arcpy.env.workspace = "\\\\mcflight01\\MCFlightData\\HGIS\\Data\\imagery.gdb" rasters = arcpy.ListRasters("*", "All") for raster in rasters:       # Process: Get Raster Properties       min = arcpy.GetRasterProperties_management(raster, "MINIMUM", "")       # Process: Get Raster Properties (2)       max = arcpy.GetRasterProperties_management(raster, "MAXIMUM", "")       print "max for ",str(raster)," = ", max       print "min for ",str(raster)," = ", min The above code will list all raster data sets in the workspace, then iterate through them and print out the max/min for each dataset that has statistics.  Might want to run a separate script to calculate the statistics, as it is pretty time intesive, and would not need to be run each time. You would put the math that you need here where the print statements are, and  it should perform your equation on each raster dataset in the workspace. R_ ... View more

If you are trying to update the field on the currently selected feature(s), then CalculateField_management would do it. If itering through all the features in your FC, might iterate through with UpdateCursor, if date &LT current date, then update field. R_ ... View more

Fraser, Just a thought, if you don't want the extra load of the listners running, the tile map switch can be handled with the built in tools. Look at the layer tag http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/flex-viewer/concepts/index.html#/Layer_tag_overview/01m30000000p000000/ and see for tiled layers, there is a displaylevels tag, and only the cache levels listed here will display for the map. Also, there are max/min scale you can use for the layers themselves.  So, you can use the displaylevels or min/max scale to have it "turn off" the tiled layer and "turn on" the dynamic one at a particular LOD/scale. R_ ... View more

Yes, you can load data from a FGDB, then publish as a mapservice only. Then, depending on whether you need a feature or dynamic service, you can load as dynamic data (type="dynamic"  http://gis01.wch-rcc.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Base/Base/MapServer )  or type="feature" http://gis01.wch-rcc.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Base/Base/MapServer/1  by appending the individual layer number in the url. However, as Dasa pointed out, you will not be able to "edit" this layer unless it is actually published as a FeatureService. R_ ... View more

So you see that it was trying to compare a single string "ELEVATION" to a list of objects. basically, could do something like: fieldList = arcpy.ListFields(os.path.join(dirpath, filename)) for f in fieldList:    if f.name == "ELEVATION":          arcpy.AddField_management(os.path.join(dirpath, filename), "SL_ELEV", "SHORT", "", "", "", "", "NULLABLE")          arcpy.CalculateField_management(os.path.join(dirpath, filename), "SL_ELEV", "int(round( !ELEVATION!, -2))", "PYTHON") Which is the same thing, I just used list comprehension to shorten the list, iterator, and comparison into one line instead of three. (love list comprehension, just wish I were better at it...) R_ ... View more

Not sure, but could be due to not using "pytonic" paths. try:  out_lines = r"C:\temp\GIS_projects\Sample_tripData\test.gdb\trip_lines" or out_lines = "C:\\temp\\GIS_projects\\Sample_tripData\\test.gdb\\trip_lines" R_ ... View more

Replace the work part with this should do it: for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in arcpy.da.Walk(in_workspace, datatype="FeatureClass",type="All"):     for filename in filenames:        if "ELEVATION" in [f.name for f in arcpy.ListFields(os.path.join(dirpath, filename))]:          arcpy.AddField_management(os.path.join(dirpath, filename), "SL_ELEV", "SHORT", "", "", "", "", "NULLABLE")          arcpy.CalculateField_management(os.path.join(dirpath, filename), "SL_ELEV", "int(round( !ELEVATION!, -2))", "PYTHON")        else:            print "no Elevation field for dataset ", filename Of course, you can skip the else: part, only needed if you want it to do something when ELEVATION field not present. R_ ... View more

Looks like you are trying to round the ELEVATION variable before you have set it to anything. Need to either set it or extract it from the attributes first. Also, both your for loops are working the same data, in one you assign it to list, in the other you assign to elev.  But, in both cases, you are still just itering through the values in fcList, so just as well do it in one swoop. Think you are looking for something like this: import arcpy import os, math from arcpy import env in_workspace = r"F:/Inventory_export_dev/testRnd" fcList = [] for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in arcpy.da.Walk(in_workspace, datatype="FeatureClass",type="All"):     for filename in filenames:         fcList.append(os.path.join(dirpath, filename)) for list in fcList:     arcpy.AddField_management(list, fieldName, "SHORT", "", "", "", "", "NULLABLE")     arcpy.CalculateField_management(list, "SL_ELEV", "int(round( !ELEVATION!, -2))", "PYTHON") Haven't tested, but should go through each FC in your fcList add the field and populate it with the round value.
