GPDataFile with Create Temp File activity

Hi,

 

There is a question similar to this one from along ago on the forums but no reply for it.

 

I am trying to pass a .DWG (CAD) file into a Geoprocessing Task made with Python. 

 

If I try to pass a file siting oa a virtual directory such as "http://52.174.186.xxx/Outputs/Site/LT1061_ETRS.dwg "

 

it works without problem.

 

If I try to create a a temp file and pas it to the same service it doesn´t work, such as 

 

"http://server/Geocortex/Essentials/REST/TempFiles/Test.dwg?guid=26820df7-79ab-40d4-a0c9-f0ba582cb4c7&contentType=text%2Fdwg"

 

Can anyone help me? Is this a known issue? Is the file somehow losing something when converted? 

 

PS (I tried with all MIME types for the DWG to no avail).

 

Would appreciate the help.

 

Thanks

  Hi Ricardo,

   

  I'm not 100% sure on this, but I think the geoprocessing inputs that accept a web request do not handle web addresses that have URL parameters (e.g. our GUID and contentType parameters).  I have observed this behavior but I do not have any documentation confirming it.

   

  If you can republish the geoprocessor, then you could call it directly with a Feature parameter rather than a file path.

   

  Otherwise, you may be able to use Workflow to download the file and copy it to a web-hosted folder that would let you use an absolute URL with no parameters for your geoprocessor.

   

  Regards,

  HI Ricardo,

   

  I'm having the exactly same issue with try to upload a file for GPService. Could you please explain a bit more what you mean by "call it directly with a Feature parameter rather than a file path"? How I do this with a DWG file? Also I've enabled the Upload capability to the GPService and upload the DWG file to AGS and got a return itemID. According to AGS doc it's possible to use GPItemID to replace GPDataFile. However, I couldn't find a way in the Geoprocessor activity to use GPItemID. any thoughts? thanks.

  Hi Jack, had the same issue and ended up modifying the XAML outside the Workflow Designer, replacing GPDataFile with GPDataItem. Cheers, Hen

  Thanks Hen for the tip. In my case I ended up replace %2F to / in the file URL and that works. also make sure you have "applicaiton/.dwg" for the content type
