To be clear: The Python toolbox (pyt) is a whole 'new animal', the entire toolbox is written in Python, even has a different icon in ArcToolbox. I haven't tried it out yet, I admit, but the webhelp link below is very interesting - a comparison between the 2.  The way I think of it is it depends on where the customizations you made are 'hitched' to the core system software ESRI made -- so apparently the arcpy development framework has been extended to 'take over' where the system was previously hitched....and apparently with new capabilities as well (see the link).  More compelling reasons for me to get on with my next upgrade, in my production mode I'll probably skip to 10.2 -- ah, but that's another story.

I think we will be all switching to *.pyt due to the new capabilities included. Best Jamal ... View more

Hi Jamal, Please take a look at this: ArcGIS Server Administration Toolkit - 10.1 Hope this helps, Many thanks Derek for the help. The link you have supplied is very useful. It worked fine. [ATTACH=CONFIG]24662[/ATTACH] Best Jamal ... View more

No, I think you're confusing Python toolboxes and 'regular' system toolboxes... looks like you're going for the 'embed' option, if you right-click the script tool (not the py source file), then you can 'import script', the option only available beginning at 10.1 (as I learned from Caleb today, so thanks to him). I don't have 10.1, but you say you do....and according to the documentation it's a 2 step process!  (the 2nd step is clicking 'OK' from the dialog box that opens ??)  Afterwards, it's another 2 step process to set a password, so I understand.  I think the checkmark goes to Luke on this one. Enjoy, Wayne EDIT:  ...so it looks to me from your attached pics that you've already done the import? Many thanks Wayne, This is why I wanted to know about these two options that allow keeping the script with the tool *.pyt option Import option Best Jamal ... View more

Hi Jamal, Many factors can affect and contribute to web application performance, such as: data content, types of web services, # of web services being displayed, type of source data behind the services, etc. It is difficult to provide a general answer. Be advised that the ArcGIS Server Web ADF technology has been deprecated and we encourage our users to migrate and use the Web Mapping API technologies (JavaScript, Flex, and Silverlight). FYI: ArcGIS 10 and 10.1 Deprecation Plan Hope this helps, Many thanks Derek for the very useful answer, I have still inqeries regarding: �?� Data content: does this include labeling/scales at which data (or labels) are visible/feature class VS images? �?� Type of web service: what does this refer to? �?� # of web services being displayed: does this refer to the number of started (active) services? [ATTACH=CONFIG]24661[/ATTACH] �?� Type Source data: does this refer to whether the database is SQL/Oracle/�?� Sure, I�??m moving to the Silverlight and Flex but viewers (as I�??m a non-developer). But due to the fact that multiple very basic features are not yet developed for no-developers, I�??m still attached to the ADF option. I have a question in my mind: why the ADF is still the best in terms of functions available for non-developers? It is almost like the desktop application! Very powerful! When the Silverlight + Flex (viewers) will reach such level? Best Jamal ... View more

Hi Jamal, FYI, the Measure tool is working as designed: to display point coordinates in lat/long. Hope this helps, Is there any chance to customize this behaviour such that the measure tool provides the local coordinate system of the base map instead of long\lat Best Jamal ... View more

Hi Jamal, Did the web applications work previously and have now stopped working? or Are these brand new installations and they simply do not run? Do you have the appropriate admin privileges on your computer when you installed the software? Have you checked the status of your web server? (i.e., is IIS working properly?) Hope this helps, This is what surprises me the most: these applications are used to work properly + I do have full permissions + my web server is working fine What might be the issue then? Don�??t these applications work on the link bases? i.e, once we stick the link on any browser then they should work. True? ... View more

See embedding scripts in the help. Many thanks Dan, Luke and Chris for help, Then all what I need is just to import the code. in this case, do we still need to go for the *.pyt option? [ATTACH=CONFIG]24641[/ATTACH], [ATTACH=CONFIG]24643[/ATTACH] Best Jamal ... View more

Hi Jamal, FYI, this help topic has some suggestions: Optimizing map content for performance Hope this helps, Many thanks Derek, Is Silverlight and flex are much faster than the .Net (ADF)? I couldn�??t find an answer for this query. Best Jamal ... View more

Hi Jamal, Please review this help topic: Configuring basemaps Hope this helps, Many thanks Derek for the help. The link you have provided is very useful. I managed to have my own base map with my local coordinate system. Fantastic. [ATTACH=CONFIG]24633[/ATTACH], [ATTACH=CONFIG]24634[/ATTACH] The issue now is that the �??measure�?� tool still uses the long/lat coordinate system. Why it doesn�??t follow the coordinate system set for the base map? [ATTACH=CONFIG]24635[/ATTACH] Best Jamal ... View more

A new Query Tool is now available for the ArcGIS Viewer for Silverlight.  The tool allows users of the Application Builder to interactively build queries against ArcGIS Server services, presenting end-users with a simple dialog box that prompts for values to plug into the query.  End-users of a configured query tool are prompted to input query values into text boxes, drop-down lists, or both.  Results are shown on the map and in the Viewer�??s attribute table.  For developer's the tool's full source code is available. To get started using the tool or exploring its implementation, simply download it from ArcGIS Online. Hi Rich, I managd to add this great tool to my Silverlight. The issue that after saving the web application and closing it the �??query layer�?� doesn�??t appear on the viewer or when start editing (refresh is applied)! It is not saved!
