I have a python script which when run in ArcMap works perfectly.... When creating the script tool in ArcMap, "Always run in foreground" is unchecked, "store relative path names" is checked, and "run python script in process" is checked.  However, when I publish this script to an ArcGIS for Server 10.1 SP1 installation, executing the GPService fails with the following error from the logs: Traceback (most recent call last):   File "E:\arcgisserver\directories\arcgissystem\arcgisinput\EON\AirportsExportPython.GPServer\extracted\v101\toolboxes\AirportsExport.py", line 38, in <module>     outputFclass = arcpy.env.scratchWorkspace+"\\clipped.shp"   File "c:\program files\arcgis\server\arcpy\arcpy\geoprocessing\_base.py", line 525, in get_     return self[env]   File "c:\program files\arcgis\server\arcpy\arcpy\geoprocessing\_base.py", line 575, in __getitem__     return convertArcObjectToPythonObject(getattr(self._gp, item)) AttributeError: Object: Tool or environment <scratchWorkspace> not found Here is the script: import arcpy, csv, os arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True  # Script arguments Selecting_Geometry = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0) if Selecting_Geometry == '#' or not Selecting_Geometry:     Selecting_Geometry = r"E:\EON\data\templates.gdb\polygonTemplate"   OutputType = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1) if OutputType == '#' or not OutputType:     OutputType = "kmz"   # Local variables: arcpy.env.scratchWorkspace = r"E:\EON\temp" outputFclass = arcpy.env.scratchWorkspace+"\\clipped.shp" AirportsLayer = r"E:\EON\layers\LandingFacilitiesOrganized.lyr" Airports = r"E:\EON\data\FAA.gdb\airports" exportLayer = arcpy.env.scratchWorkspace+"\\exportLayer.lyr"  # Process: Clip arcpy.Clip_analysis(Airports, Selecting_Geometry, outputFclass, "") OutputFile = arcpy.env.scratchWorkspace+"\\airportsExportResult.kmz" earthLayer = arcpy.mapping.Layer(AirportsLayer) for layer in earthLayer:     if layer.isGroupLayer:         continue     else:         layer.replaceDataSource(arcpy.env.scratchWorkspace, "SHAPEFILE_WORKSPACE", "clipped") earthLayer.saveACopy(exportLayer) arcpy.LayerToKML_conversion(exportLayer, OutputFile, "1", "false", exportLayer, "1024", "96", "CLAMPED_TO_GROUND") arcpy.SetParameterAsText(2,OutputFile) In short, this script clips a feature set to an input polygon, applies a complicated layer file to it, then exports to kmz.  I got this geoprocessing tool working correctly earlier, but was using arcpy.env.workspace instead of arcpy.env.scratchWorkspace, so the process wasn't referencing the clipped file in a jobs directory, but instead in the hardcoded workspace directory in the script.  Anyway, after some research I saw that I have to use scratchWorkspace for all intermediate data.  But this broke the geoprocessing service.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

I have a relatively new installation of ArcGIS for Server 10.1.  My IT department has provided a wildcard SSL cert from digicert to use on the server.  However, the instructions to install a CA-signed certificate on the server are different: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#/Enabling_SSL_using_a_new_CA_signed_certificate/0154000005wr000000/ The instructs say I must generate a cert using the admin interface, then get our CA to sign it.  Is that true?  Can I not just install a wildcard SSL cert on the server?

I've loaded a CSV with a "Location" field that has the full address.  When I try to geocode (using Wold Geocode Service from ArcGIS Online) based on this field, I get the following error: "There was an error trying to process this table.  ArcGIS Online subsciption is required for geocoding the table of addresses." I have an ArcGIS online account, and I'm logged in through ArcMap.  So what gives? ... View more

To create some custom scripts, I first create what I can in Model Builder, then export to Python and add what custom code I need.  One problem I've ran into is when passing other python code into a function.  In Model Builder, it is easy to maintain the code block, but once exported to Python, any significant amount of code becomes difficult to read or document. I was curious if arcpy functions accept function names as parameters instead of the actual code.  Then I could refer to a separate function in my script instead of stuffing all my code into a single line.  This is what an exported function looks like: arcpy.CalculateField_management(ModelAirports_shp__12_, "Zoom", "calcZoom(!FlDaily!, !UseType!, !Part139!, !OEP35!, !Core30!, !Type!)", "PYTHON_9.3", "def calcZoom(flights, use, part139, oep35, core30, type):\\n  if (oep35 == 1) or (core30 == 1):\\n    return 10000000\\n  elif ((oep35 == 0) and (core30 == 0) and (part139 == 1) and (type == \"AIRPORT\") and (use == \"Public\")):\\n    return 262144\\n  elif ((oep35 == 0) and (part139 == 1) and (type == \"AIRPORT\") and (use == \"Private\")):\\n    return 262144\\n  elif ((part139 == 1) and (oep35 == 0) and (type == \"AIRPORT\") and (use == \"Military\")):\\n    return 262144\\n  elif ((part139 == 0) and (type == \"AIRPORT\") and (use == \"Public\") and (flights >= 250)):\\n    return 131072\\n  elif ((part139 == 0) and (type == \"AIRPORT\") and (use == \"Military\") and (flights >= 100)):\\n    return 131072\\n  elif ((part139 == 0) and (type == \"AIRPORT\") and (use == \"Public\") and (flights < 250) and (flights >= 100)) :\\n    return 65536\\n  elif ((part139 == 0) and (type == \"AIRPORT\") and (use == \"Private\") and (flights >= 100)):\\n    return 65536\\n  elif ((part139 == 0) and (type == \"AIRPORT\") and (use == \"Military\") and (flights < 100)):\\n    return 65536\\n  elif ((part139 == 0) and (type == \"AIRPORT\") and (use == \"Public\") and (flights < 100)):\\n    return 32768\\n  elif (((type == \"SEAPLANE BASE\") or (type == \"GLIDERPORT\") or (type == \"ULTRALIGHT\") or (type == \"BALLOONPORT\")) and ((use == \"Public\") or (use == \"Private\"))):\\n    return 32768\\n  elif ((part139 == 0) and (type == \"AIRPORT\") and (use == \"Private\") and (flights < 100)):\\n    return 32768\\n  elif ((type == \"HELIPORT\") and ((use == \"Public\") or (use == \"Military\"))):\\n    return 16384\\n  elif ((type == \"HELIPORT\") and (use == \"Private\")):\\n    return 8192\\n  else:\\n    return 0") Easy to maintain in Model Builder [ATTACH=CONFIG]19251[/ATTACH] Was wondering if I could have something like this: arcpy.CalculateField_management(ModelAirports_shp__12_, "Zoom", "calcZoom(!FlDaily!, !UseType!, !Part139!, !OEP35!, !Core30!, !Type!)", "PYTHON_9.3", calcZoom(!Airports!, !Use!) and then define calcZoom in a different part of the script.  Thanks!

I'm trying to create a web app that allows a user to draw a polygon, and then the ability to export the features within that polygon.  I partially got it working using a GP service based on a ModelBuilder model, but it seems to choke randomly (when a larger areas is chosen, but the number of features that should be returned is still far less than 1000).  The server generates no errors when I look at the logs, but the JS api claims "Job 'j024c31e288b2441a9f429e093f8fce6e' does not exist or is inaccessible."  The directory is clearly accessible and the kmz file is present.  Anyway, was wondering if I might have better look directly making an esri.request and passing in the geometry.  The only thing I can't figure out is how an esri.request can handle a kmz file.  The only options are text, json, xml, but nothing that supports binary.  Is my only choice to troubleshoot the geoprocessing service?
