Hi, the website seems to have killed your code formatting, I have just tidied it up for use myself, thought I would re-post for anyone else that may stumble upon this thread: # Import necessary modules. import arcpy, datetime # Set the admin connection -> this user needs to have privilegs to disconnect users. adminConnection = r'Database Connections\dbo@testDB@testServer.sde' # Get a list of connected users. uList = arcpy.ListUsers(adminConnection) # Print the number of connected users count = len(uList) print 'There are currently {0} users connected\n'.format(count) # Exception lists -> these are used to determine machine names or users # which will not be disconnected. Leave blank if there are no exceptions machines = ['devinci','rocky'] users = ['samhill', 'stevepeat', 'stevesmith'] # Get current time. now = datetime.datetime.now() # Get time a week ago weekAgo = now - arcpy.time.EsriTimeDelta(7, 'days') # Iterate through users for u in uList: if u.ConnectionTime < weekAgo: if u.ClientName.lower() in machines: print "Skipping user: {0} on machine: {1}".format(u.Name, u.ClientName) print "Machine name is on exception list.\n" elif u.Name.lower() in users: print "Skipping user: {0} on machine: {1}".format(u.Name, u.ClientName) print "User's name is on exception list.\n" else: try: arcpy.DisconnectUser(adminConnection, u.ID) print "Successfully disconnected user: {0}\n".format(u.Name) except: print arcpy.GetMessages() else: print "User ({0}) connection time did not exceed the set limit.\n".format(u.Name) # Get a list of connected users. uList = arcpy.ListUsers(adminConnection) # Print the number of connected users count = len(uList) print 'There are currently {0} users connected'.format(count) print 'Done' ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Hi All, I have been using the Traverse tool (see screenshot) and I notice that when I finish that the Explode Multipart Feature button will not work on this output. I am wondering if there is any other way I can 'explode' this traverse so I am left with each of the segments as individual lines? Just like the burst command in AutoCAD. Thanks for your help.

So I am entering in Subdivision linework... see screenshot below:

Hey All, I do many traverses using the Traverse window in ArcMap. I am wondering if anyone can tell me how to 'adjust' this traverse by a scale factor? The surveyor has noted the plan is scaled to 0.999568, I am unsure how to apply this. Thanks heaps!

‎10-05-2016

That will work. The output is: First part = [Incandescent ], second part = [200 250]‍ So a minor tweak to strip the space (last character) from the first part: print "First part = [%s], second part = [%s]" % (str1[:pos-1], str1[pos:len(str1)])‍ I just needed to add the -1 to achieve this. Looks good, thanks.

Hi All, Sorry for the poorly worded heading, I can't quite find the words to summarise what im trying to say. So basically I have been given a table with thousands of rows, and I need to split one of the fields, moving the first part of the field into a string column, and the right half of the split to a numeric column. Here is a Pivot table (grouped) #view of what I need to split: Incandescent 200 250 Incandescent 300 Incandescent 500 Incandescent 60 Incandescent 75 Low Pressure Sodium 135 Low Pressure Sodium 150 Low Pressure Sodium 310 Low Pressure Sodium 55 Low Pressure Sodium 90 100 Mercury Vapour 1000 Mercury Vapour 125 Mercury Vapour 175 Mercury Vapour 250 Mercury Vapour 400 Mercury Vapour 50 Mercury Vapour 500 Mercury Vapour 700 Mercury Vapour 80 Metal Hallide (Reactor Control Gear) 1000 Metal Hallide (Reactor Control Gear) 150 Metal Hallide (Reactor Control Gear) 250 Metal Hallide (Reactor Control Gear) 400 Metal Hallide (Reactor Control Gear) 70‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ So with the first row as an example I would like to end up with a column called STRING with 'Incandescent' in it, and a second column called WATTS with '200 250'. I am trying to use field calculator, I understand I will need to run it twice, once to calculate the STRING and once for WATTS. Python is my preference, but in this instance im unsure where to start the split. Cheers! (Nathan Duncan‌ any ideas?)

So after many hours of trial and error, then implementing most of the changes as suggested in this thread, I contacted esri australia tech support. They pointed out the errors of my ways. A few misunderstandings from me as to how JSON works, and other simple code tweaks, the end result is below, works a treat! service = 'Service Name' # A function to generate a token given username, password and the adminURL. def getToken(): portalAdminName = 'gisadmin' # Gisserver login portalAdminPassword = 'xxxxxxx' # gisserver password serverName = 'gisserver' # Server Name serverPort = 6080 # Port number of the server # Token URL is typically http://server[:port]/arcgis/admin/generateToken tokenURL = "/arcgis/admin/generateToken" params = urllib.urlencode({ 'username': portalAdminName, 'password': portalAdminPassword, 'client': 'requestip', 'f': 'json' }) headers = {"Content-type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded", "Accept": "text/plain"} # Connect to URL and post parameters httpConn = httplib.HTTPConnection(serverName, serverPort) httpConn.request("POST", tokenURL, params, headers) # Read response response = httpConn.getresponse() if response.status != 200: httpConn.close() print "Error while fetching tokens from admin URL. Please check the URL and try again." return else: data = response.read() httpConn.close() # Extract the token from it token = json.loads(data) return token.get('token') # Generate Token token = getToken() # Add token to service URL to authenticate access. params = {'token': token, 'f': 'json'} # build the URL used to connect to the web form fUrl = 'http://gisserver:6080/arcgis/admin/services/' + service + '.MapServer?' + urllib.urlencode(params) # Open service URL to access parameters openUrl = urllib2.urlopen(fUrl, '').read() # Load json response in string serviceJson to access later servicePython = json.loads(openUrl) # Change the maxImage size properties in the python dictionary servicePython['properties']['maxImageHeight'] = 5200 servicePython['properties']['maxImageWidth'] = 6600 servicePython['maxInstancesPerNode'] = 15 # Convert python dictionary back into a JSON string serviceJson = json.dumps(servicePython) # Define params dictionary params = {"service": serviceJson, "f": "json", "token": token} # REST endpoint for editing the service finalUrl = 'http://gisserver:6080/arcgis/admin/services/' + service + '.MapServer/edit?' # URLencoded paramaters dictionary can be included as a parameter of the call to urllib2.urlopen openUrl = urllib2.urlopen(finalUrl, urllib.urlencode(params)) ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Thanks very much for the reply David, I have tweaked what you have provided and been able to work out how to connect and generate a token. That works nicely. I am now trying to connect back to the server and publish my new parameters, and I am getting this error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "U:/Automated/editMapServiceParameters.py", line 62, in <module> raise Exception('Service access error, response = {}'.format(json.dumps(serviceJson))) Exception: Service access error, response = {"status": "error", "code": 500, "messages": ["1"]} I am unsure how to progress from here. Did you hit this hurdle in your travels by any chance? Here is the code which causes the above error: import json import urllib import urllib2 import httplib adminUrl = 'http://gisserver:6080/arcgis/admin/services' portalAdminName = 'gisadmin' portalAdminPassword = PASSWORD portalUrl = "/arcgis/admin/generateToken" serverName = 'gisserver' serverPort = 6080 # A function to generate a token given username, password and the adminURL. def getToken(username, password, serverName, serverPort): # Token URL is typically http://server[:port]/arcgis/admin/generateToken tokenURL = "/arcgis/admin/generateToken" params = urllib.urlencode({'username': username, 'password': password, 'client': 'requestip', 'f': 'json'}) headers = {"Content-type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded", "Accept": "text/plain"} # Connect to URL and post parameters httpConn = httplib.HTTPConnection(serverName, serverPort) httpConn.request("POST", tokenURL, params, headers) # Read response response = httpConn.getresponse() if response.status != 200: httpConn.close() print "Error while fetching tokens from admin URL. Please check the URL and try again." return else: data = response.read() httpConn.close() # Extract the token from it token = json.loads(data) return token.get('token') # Generate Token token = getToken(portalAdminName, portalAdminPassword, serverName, serverPort) print 'token:: %s' % token # Add token to service URL to authenticate access. params = {'token': token, 'f': 'json'} fUrl = 'http://gisserver:6080/arcgis/admin/services/Maps/Weave_Inset.MapServer?' + urllib.urlencode(params) print fUrl # Open service URL to access parameters openUrl = urllib2.urlopen(fUrl, '').read() # Load json response in string serviceJson to access later serviceJson = json.loads(openUrl) # Check response for valid service if '{"serviceName":' not in serviceJson: raise Exception('Service access error, response = {}'.format(json.dumps(serviceJson))) Thanks again.

Hi Everyone for your suggestions. I have looked through each of the links provided, unfortunately I am yet to see an example to help me set the MaxImageWidth and MaxImageHeight... back to the drawing board, I may have to continue to do this manually 😕 Thanks anyways.

I don't need to create a script, this is me running it (just using the sample code on the page you provided me)... By removing the try: and except components (converting from a script to a run once type setup as Dan suggested) I got a more accurate Error Message saying: Traceback (most recent call last): File "F:/Ben VK/Conver LatLong DD to LatLong DMS.py", line 19, in <module> output_coordinate_format=output_format File "C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.3\ArcPy\arcpy\management.py", line 8663, in ConvertCoordinateNotation raise e arcgisscripting.ExecuteError: ERROR 999999: Error executing function. Failed to execute (ConvertCoordinateNotation). Upon closer inspection, it seems I was using output_format = "DDM_2" instead of the correct output_format = "DMS_2", now works like a charm. Thanks for your help Dan, that tool is perfect for my scenario. Cheers Final working code for all those playing along at home: input_table = r'F:\Nathan Duncan\Assets & Planning\2015-2016\Sewer Sample Points\TempSampSite.shp' output_points = r'F:\Nathan Duncan\Assets & Planning\2015-2016\Sewer Sample Points\SewerSamplePoints.gdb\CoordConversion\DMS' x_field = "Longitude" y_field = "Latitude" input_format = "DD_2" output_format = "DMS_2" spatial_ref = arcpy.SpatialReference('WGS 1984') arcpy.ConvertCoordinateNotation_management( in_table=input_table, out_featureclass=output_points, x_field=x_field, y_field=y_field, input_coordinate_format=input_format, output_coordinate_format=output_format )

Great suggestion, looks like it will do exactly what I want, but im getting the error every GIS User wants to see 'Error 999999' with the below code # imports import arcpy arcpy.env.workspace = r"F:\Nathan Duncan\Assets & Planning\2015-2016\Sewer Sample Points\SewerSamplePoints.gdb" # set parameter values input_table = r'F:\Nathan Duncan\Assets & Planning\2015-2016\Sewer Sample Points\TempSampSite.shp' output_points = r'F:\Nathan Duncan\Assets & Planning\2015-2016\ Sewer Sample Points\SewerSamplePoints.gdb\CoordConversion\DMS' x_field = "Longitude" y_field = "Latitude" input_format = "DD_2" output_format = "DDM_2" spatial_ref = arcpy.SpatialReference('WGS 1984') try: arcpy.ConvertCoordinateNotation_management(in_table=input_table, out_featureclass=output_points, x_field=x_field, y_field=y_field, input_coordinate_format=input_format, output_coordinate_format=output_format ) print(arcpy.GetMessages(0)) except arcpy.ExecuteError: print(arcpy.GetMessages(2)) except Exception as ex: print(ex.args[0]) ERROR 999999: Error executing function.

Hi All, I have never worked with coordinates other than Easting Northings, and today I have been given a table that contains Eastings and Northings, and another two columns with Lat Long (DD). Unfortunately my client requires a table with Lat Long shown in Degrees Minutes and Seconds, and this is not something I have ever had to do so I have some questions. When I create the fields which will hold the Lat Long data in DMS, what type (format) should the field be? I am assuming a double is not sufficient? Is there a simple field calculator tool that takes a column (Easting) for example, and spits out the Latitude in DMS format? I am very new to coordinate conversion, so any tips are appreciated. Thanks for your help.

Hey, So I might have found something useful here, it may work - Example: Edit service properties—Documentation (10.3 and 10.3.1) | ArcGIS for Server This section of the code may do part of what I require: # Edit desired properties of the service dataObj["minInstancesPerNode"] = minInstancesNum dataObj["maxInstancesPerNode"] = maxInstancesNum My secondary question is, how do I find what all the options are called? The above example exactly answers part of my question, as one of the items I want to update is max instances, but how do i find out what the syntax would be for the Max image Width and height will be? How does one go about searching for this?? Thanks in advance. Cheers

Hi All, I currently have a Python script which does 98% of what I require. Currently, it picks up a local MXD file that has been modified in the last 3 days, then uses arcpy.mapping.CreateMapSDDraft() to create the Draft Service Definition, then stages the service using arcpy.StageService_server() and finally arcpy.UploadServiceDefinition_server() Each time this file is uploaded, it is overwriting an existing map service, and these services all have Advanced Properties modified, for example the maxImageWidth and Height are modified, along with Max Number of Instanced modified to be 15. The problem I have is that each time this script runs, it reverts those three settings back to the default, so then I have to manually set them to what we require, which in turn defeats the purpose of automating this process... I have pasted my working code below, its not pretty, but seems to do most of what I require.... Any ideas on how to set those additional parameters in python? def publish_services(service): log.write_log(python_file, 'Updating Services (' + service + ') to GISServer') err = False # Define Local Variables wrkspc = r'\\gisserver\weave projects\Project_Files' doc = os.path.join(wrkspc, service + '.mxd') log.write_log(python_file, 'Publishing File to Service:') log.write_log(python_file, ' %s [doc]' % doc) is_edited = check_edit_date(service, doc) if is_edited is True: mapDoc = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(doc) # Provide path to connection file # To create this file, right-click a folder in the Catalog window and # click New > ArcGIS Server Connection con = 'GIS Servers\GisServer (Administration)' # Provide other service details sddraft = os.path.join(wrkspc, service + '.sddraft') sd = os.path.join(wrkspc, service + '.sd') summary = 'Map document displayed by the Weave Mapping System' tags = 'Weave, python, automated, MXD, Map Service Automation, No Man Hours Used' def del_sd(): try: os.remove(sd) log.write_log(python_file, 'Removed the existing sd file - %s' % str(sd)) except OSError: pass log.write_log(python_file, 'Creating .sddraft file') # Create service definition draft (.sddraft) arcpy.mapping.CreateMapSDDraft(mapDoc, sddraft, service, 'ARCGIS_SERVER', con, True, None, summary, tags) log.write_log(python_file, 'Analyzing the .sddraft file for errors') # Analyze the service definition draft analysis = arcpy.mapping.AnalyzeForSD(sddraft) # Print errors, warnings, and messages returned from the analysis try: for key in 'errors': # 'messages', 'warnings'): # This is commented out for clarity log.write_log(python_file, "--------" + key.upper() + "--------") vars = analysis[key] for ((message, code), layerlist) in vars.iteritems(): log_message = " ", message, " (CODE %i)" % code log.write_log(python_file, log_message) log.write_log(python_file, " applies to:", ) for layer in layerlist: log.write_log(python_file, '\n ' + str(layer.name), ) log.write_log(python_file, "") except: log.write_log(python_file, 'Ironically, there was an error printing the errors') print 'Ironically, there was an error printing the errors in the publish_services() module' err = True # remove file if it already exists, # need the folder to be cleared before creating again del_sd() # Stage and upload the service if the sddraft analysis did not contain errors if analysis['errors'] == {} or err is False: # Execute StageService arcpy.StageService_server(sddraft, sd) # Execute UploadServiceDefinition arcpy.UploadServiceDefinition_server(sd, con) log.write_log(python_file, "Service %s successfully published" % service) else: # if the sddraft analysis contained errors, display them log.write_log(python_file, str(analysis['errors'])) log.write_log(python_file, "Service %s could not be published because errors were found during analysis." % service ) # remove the temporary file once tasks complete del_sd() else: pass

You are correct, I can delete these files and recreate (time consuming and annoying), and I can script this, but that can be time consuming and that defeats the purpose of me using model builder for 'quick' processes like this. The shape files are being referenced in AutoCAD files by people in other departments, they are not continually being used, and the chances of someone referencing them and locking them when I run the tool are slim.
