I am trying to create a scrip that will look up services on a server and cache them. This is a crunch machine that I load updates to and then generate cache's for.
The problem I am stuck on is that I cannot figure out how to get a list of Data Frames without invoking arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrame(mxd). The problem with this call is that you need to pass in an mxd with path, and I am starting from a list of services names.
My script has:
serviceList = arcpy.mapping.ListMapServices(connection_name, server_name)
for serviceName in serviceList:
...
# I loop through all active services, and what I want to do is pass all argument to the next command, including the top/1st data-frame for each service
arcpy.CreateMapServerCache_server(server_name, serviceName, data_frame, etc.
How do I call a Map Document path (& name) from a map service?
