Using 10.2.2, I'm using the Extract Data Task (Server Tools\Data Extraction\Extract Data Task) to extract data from an Image Service. I run the tool successfully. Next, I want to publish this tool to the same ArcGIS for Server instance as a geoprocessing service. This seems to work OK, except that when Validating the service, I get a warning that the Image Service isn't registered as data source, and that it will be uploaded to the server. Weird. So, I wonder what's happening here ... is this a warning that can be ignored? It doesn't seem meaningful that an image service is being uploaded to the server (that already hosts the service). In any event, the published service works correctly -- but wondering if I can safely ignore this warning. Thanks, Jon. ... View more

If an invalid value for a connection string is passed to SDEWorkspaceFactory.OpenFromString(), the call hangs: IWorkspaceFactory workspaceFactory = _workspaceFactory.OpenFromString("InvalidConnectionString", 0); If I break execution, I can see from the call stack that control is still with the unmanaged code. Unfortunately, this OpenFromString doesn't offer a timeout. What I need to do is, within my .NET managed code, cancel the call to OpenFromString after a certain timeout period. I've tried a couple of approaches, including the following: Task<IWorkspace> task = new Task<IWorkspace>(() =>     {         return _workspaceFactory.OpenFromString("InvalidConnectionString", 0);     }); if (!task.Wait(10000)) {     throw new TimeoutException(); } IWorkspace workspace = task.Result; In this case, task.Wait() always returns false, and task.Result() is always null, even if a valid value for the connection string is passed. I've also tried the following approach: IWorkspace workspace = null; Thread thread = new Thread(() =>     {         workspace = _workspaceFactory.OpenFromString("InvalidConnectionString", 0);     }); thread.Start(); if (!thread.Join(10000)) {     throw new TimeoutException(); } In this case, if a valid value for the connection string is passed, execution works as expected, but if an invalid value is passed, the execution still hangs in the unmanaged code, and thread.Join() never returns. Any suggestions on how to do this? ... View more

Using the code samples provided by Esri, I'm trying to connect to a SQL Server instance using the DataServerManager class. Following is the entirety of my code in a .NET console application: using System; using ESRI.ArcGIS.DataSourcesGDB; using ESRI.ArcGIS.esriSystem; using ESRI.ArcGIS; namespace ConnectToSQLServer {     class Program     {         static void Main(string[] args)         {             try             {                 RuntimeManager.Bind(ProductCode.Engine);                 IAoInitialize aoInitialize = new AoInitialize();                 aoInitialize.Initialize(esriLicenseProductCode.esriLicenseProductCodeEngineGeoDB);                 IDataServerManager dataServerManager = new DataServerManager();                 dataServerManager.ServerName = "MONTREAL\\SQLEXPRESS";                 dataServerManager.Connect();                 if (dataServerManager.IsConnected)                 {                     Console.WriteLine("DataServerManager is connected.");                 }                 else                 {                     Console.WriteLine("DataServerManager is not connected.");                 }             }             catch (Exception exception)             {                 Console.WriteLine(exception.Message);             }             finally             {                 Console.ReadLine();             }                        }     } } When dataServerManager is called, the following exception is raised: -  exception {"A syntax error occurred trying to evaluate a query string (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040203)"} System.Exception {System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException} Any ideas? Thanks, Jon. ... View more

I am consuming a geoprocessing service in the Viewer that takes a FeatureSet as input. The user interactively draws a polygon on the map to define the input. After the geoprocessing service is finished, however, the polygon that the user draws remains on the map. In ArcMap when I run this geoprocessing service, the polygon disappears once the job is submitted. How can I similarly get the user-drawn polygon to disappear when the job is submitted? ...

I have a geoprocessing service that produces a multivalue string as an output (each string is a URL). How do I get results to show up in the Silverlight Viewer so that the user can do something with them (like click on the URL)? When I run the tool now from within the viewer, the dialog just disappears when the service is finished. Using v 3.1.0.110 ... View more
