On my 9.3.1 server i get this response: "ORIG_HRZ_COLL_DATE" : "1/5/2011 12:00:00 AM" But on my 10 server i get this: "ORIG_HRZ_COLL_DATE" : 1294185600000 Am I in error here or was there some fundamental change made in this area going from ags 9.3.1 to ags 10 or is it in the js api? If yes, then is there a list of all changes like this somewhere? It's very frustrating to have to find them like easter eggs.

increased sensitivity to overwriting in-memory datasets before you may have been able to get away with it but now you need to make sure you have: arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True

That is helpful, thanks for that link. For others running into this same conversion process it would be great if esri had a white paper or guide to the conversion process. But we can start one here: 1. replace 'import arcgisscripting' with 'import arcpy' 2. remove gp = arcgisscripting.create(9.3) 3. find and replace all 'gp.' with 'arcpy.' 4. modify environment vars like 'gp.extent' to read 'arcpy.env.extent' 5. check your case sensitivity for method calls like next() on a SearchCursor (not Next()) and more to follow.......

Is anyone else out there undergoing a conversion project to get python scripts written for 9.3 to work in 10? I'm wondering if there is a guide to the common things that need to be changed? If it is absolutely necessary to upgrade to arcpy and what kinds of experiences people have had doing this? I am trying to convert about 30 scripts and it's a big job. Besides the find and replace with gp to arcpy I'm finding alot of case sensitive issues like SearchCursors next() method which cannot be Next() like it used to. Right now I'm stuck on result1 = arcpy.GetCount_management("TempSelection") affectedFeatures = int(result1.GetOutput(0)) the GetOutput call produces an error and I'm trying to work around it. Any suggestions?

That was precisely it. Thank you very much

I have a long running gp task that is a python script exposed by as a gp tool over the js api. When i execute the task it returns a dojo.io.script error saying the Timeout exceeded. However a few seconds later it does return the correct result. Something on the server I think is causing the timeout error message to be returned which is firing the errcallback on the method call, instead of waiting for the true result to fire my callback method. I have tried to modify the timeout settings in IIS, web.config, and web.config in the rest services config. I also bumped the server object idle times, tried both pooled and non-pooled and synchronous/asynch on the server object. If I could just ignore the err callback and get the method to fire when the result came back i would be set but if i comment out the err callback the true callback never gets hit. Is there some magical one minute setting in IIS or ags? Any suggestions?

Cool. Thank you very much that is helpful. I'm guessing then that sr 4326 is default of miles and acres for length and area respectively? One other thing and i won't bother any longer. How can i calculate the perimeter of a polygon using the formulas you have provided?

Interesting. I'm trying to get this to work for testing but I'm having trouble with the: esri.geometry.unitsDictionary what is that construct? I searched for it in the 9.3 and 10 js api documentation with no results and the only google reference to that term is in your post. How can i achieve similar at the 9.3 level?

I suppose you could write client-side code to loop over the addresses in the array and send them on at a time but that defeats the purpose of a batch operation and is very chatty and bandwidth intensive. Otherwise it looks to me like the api only handles one address at a time. You could also create a server object extension to have ArcObjects do the batch server-side.

I want to have a measure tool that calculates the area of a sketch the user draws. But I want the measures to be in a projected coord sys (UTM) and my map is in a geo coord sys (WM). Is there a way I can do the projection and the measurement in the same round trip to the serve rather than having to do 2 calls? This link http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/javascript/arcgis/help/jssamples/util_measurepoly.html describes this very topic and then provides a link to another sample that has nothing to do with projection so that is not very helpful.

could it have anything to do with units? Like you are expecting sq. meters but are really getting acres?

I think i figured this one out on my own. I had some code that fired on each map refresh that was reseting that draw toolbar. I guess somewhere around version 2.0 esri introduced a feature to allow users to pan while sketching. Didn't see that anywhere in the docs, but it is definitely something that needs to be accounted for, esp. if you are doing anything on map refresh.

I too would like to update my local version. Wonder why we can't just download the library the same way the browser does and then serve that?

My map is in Web Mercator projection but I want for my measurement values to be in UTM when the user does a measurement on the map with my measure tool. Is there any way to do this without having to go back to the server with every click of the mouse as a vertex is added?

‎09-29-2010

Some change made to the js api around version 2.0 is causing my application some serious issues. Wondering if anyone else is experiencing this and has a fix. When my users go to draw features while they are clicking to add vertex the map will refresh on it's own and the sketch will be gone. I noticed that at around 2.0 users were able to pan while they are sketching. This seems to be a new feature added to the api. I like that aspect of the sketching, because users often ask for panning ability. But I don't understand why it is being inconsistent in my app. Users can get 4 or 5 vertex in and the drawing will just vanish and the map will refresh and the sketch will be gone. Is anyone else noticing this?
