Hi, We picked up on this yesterday again and made some further progress. We will have tio first initialize the outRaster as a none before with start with the Surface Generation function. After this, we can include a status variable #TODO: THIS IS Important part �?? setting outRaster to None initially outRaster=None �?� �?� #TODO: Check Count If cnt>0:      #run The hotspot    outRaster=�?�    Status=�?�true�?� Else:      Status=�?�false #assign Parameters If Status=�?�true�?�:     arcpy.SetParameter(6,outRaster) else:     arcpy.SetParameter(6,outRaster) Susan ...

That's correct. If the number of selected features is 0, Kernel Density will not run. Instead a null output is specified and the application bails when a null raster layer is being set as AGS Dynamic Map Service Layer. It is almost as if the default setting from the publsihing mxd is overriding the null output passed back to the AGS Dynamc Map Service Layer. I understand we are trialing the heat map sample using the javascript api and html5 framework. http://blogs.esri.com/esri/arcgis/2012/09/26/heat-up-your-webmaps/ This quite a big difference from the Geoprocessing Service. It is custom code with a mix of open source and ESRI technologies. It is very much a R&D exercise because we exhausted the Proof of Concept funding for the work.  It's kind of scary resorting to a non-tested, non-supported solution though. Susan ... View more

HI, The issue is in setting the null derived output in a Geoprocessing Service. Neither ArcMap, or the AGS Map Service Layer knows about the null part of it and fails. The issue is not recreatable as a standalone tool (one that is not a service). It is just present in the Geoprocesing Service behaviour. Susan ... View more

Hi perhaps the best workaround is to put some error trapping in to check for the failed task by the calling applicaton, in this case the javascript API. It doesn't appear the GP Dynamic Map services can handle a null return. The tool works fine when it is not a Geoprocessing Service, even when a null output is returned. It fails with Geoprocessing Service. ... View more

Just checked the arcpy.SetParameter(6,"") using your recommendations. The output still generates an invalid return value back to the AGS Dynamic Map Service Layer.

Attached is the complete script. There is a toolbox which I have not attached becaus eit is probably not necessary. outRaster is a derived Raster Output Layer. We pass a load of comma separated strings in the beginning and spend a bit of time building up the sql expression for inFeatures1. Thanks for checking it out. Susan ... View more

We recently upgraded all the ArcGIS Infrastructure to ArcGIS 10.1 release. I am not sure if the issue is in the scripting,but rather the way the parameter is parsed into the AGS Dynamic Map Service Layer which is giving problems. ... View more

Hi and Thanks for this, We have been running with the derived output and then tried switching to the optional output with the same result. There is no problem when the feature selection is greater than 0. The raster layer returns nice and beautifully into the dynamic map service layer at the conclusion of the script. We have noticed that the following statement does not fire #TODO: wont Fire if arcpy.GetCount_management(lyr)==0:   arcpy.SetParameter(6,"")   sys.exit(0) However, casting the parameter as a string will fire, #TODO: will Fire if str(arcpy.GetCount_management(lyr))=="0":   arcpy.SetParameter(6,"")   sys.exit(0) It is probably another issue either with the syntax or the way the function is parsed through python. I didn't get a chance to test this with ArcGIS Server 10.0, so cannot sayif this is new behaviour. Susan ... View more

Thanks for getting back about this one. I have tried passing back a null string. The tool completes by first setting the environment by arcpy.SetSeverityLevel(0) #TODO: set Output arcpy.AddMessage("***set The Output Layer") if arcpy.GetCount_management("inFeatures1")>0:     arcpy.AddMessage("SETTING VALID RASTER")     arcpy.SetParameter(6,outRaster) else:     arcpy.AddMessage("SETTING INVALID RASTER")     arcpy.SetParameter(6,"") I am attaching the attached message when we run from the REST Endpoint. ...

Yep, Trying a Terrain was a long shot as a potential workaround to a raster dataset (ArcSDE/FileGeodatabase,Tiff). We would love to get tool to work with a Raster Layer in a map service. A not-very-workable workaround is not to upgrade. But it is too late to revert. ... View more

Howzit All; The Local ESRI Distributor in New Zealand has managed to recreate the issue of the Identify Task against REST with the Silverlight API at ArcGIS Server 10.1. Exact same code works with ArcGIS Server 10.0 and the Silverlight API. I guess my next question, does anyone have an alternate way of extracting the Values from a Terrain or Raster Layer?
