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?

Hi, I have a simple geoprocessing service exposed to REST on ArcGIS for Server 10.0 (I've attached the screenshot here). Using the JS API, I have a submitJob task that runs the geoprocessing tool (a lot of code was taken from this sample). However, the result KMZ file doesn't seem to be in the directory that job info claims. I modified the downloadfile function to function downloadFile(outputFile){         console.log("downloading");   map.graphics.clear();   console.log(outputFile);         var theurl = outputFile.value.url;           //window.location = theurl;       } The outputFile.value.url is "http://myservername/arcgisjobs/export_gpserver/jc867301809404c4ba6065c514361806e/scratch/results.kmz, but when I navigate to that directory on the server, there is no results.kmz file there. However, the output file does appear correctly in an entirely different directory: the one in which my original mxd exists from which I built the service and imported into ArcGIS Server Manager.  When I built my model in ModelBuilder, I made sure to check the "store relative path names" and specify the output directory of the results.kmz file to be %scratchworkspace%\export.kmz.  So why is the output file going to a completely different directory and not the arcgisjobs directory?  On a somewhat related note, is this the best way to generate a KMZ from a user defined polygon? I know I can query the REST entpoint directly, but I'm unsure how to do that without directly making a GET or POST AJAX request in Javascript? But mostly, where is that KMZ file?
