Use a Python script to automatically publish the ArcGIS Service

Generally, we use graphical tools such as arccatalog or ArcGIS Server Manager to publish the ArcGIS service. However, in some cases, for example, when the number of services to be released is large and the service needs to be released occasionally, using these tools for manual operations is far from enough. The powerful feature of ArcGIS is that it provides a variety of options for us. We can use python to write scripts and call the functions in the arcpy module to automatically scan folders and publish the map documents as map services.

This article will create a publishhelper. py file and write two methods in it. One is publishall, which is used to traverse the folder and call the other method publishmxd. The latter completes the specific service release work.

Before publishing a service, you must first check the mxd document path, read the mxd document, convert it to MSD, analyze the document, and finally publish the service.

#-*-Coding: UTF-8-*-import arcpy, OS _ name _ = 'hhhelper '# All. mxd document is published as map service # Folder: folder path containing mxd Document # servicedir: Service Directory URL, such as http: // localhost/ArcGIS/rest/services # servicefolder: the folder where the service is located. If it is null, it indicates the root directory def publishall (folder, servicedir, servicefolder): Print "Check the folder path ...... "If OS. Path. isdir (folder) = false: Print" the Input Folder path is invalid! "Return print" traverse folders ...... "Files = OS. listdir (folder) for F in files: If F. endswith (". mxd "): mxdpath = OS. path. join (folder, f) print "publishing:" + F publishmxd (mxdpath, servicedir, servicefolder) else: Continue # publish the mxd document as a service: 1. convert mxd to MSD; 2. analyze MSD; 3. publish msddef publishmxd (mxdpath, servicedir, servicefolder): # Check whether print exists in mxd and MSD Files "check file path ......

"Arcpy. mapping. publishmsdtoserver (msdpath, servicedir, servername, servicename, servicefolder, ["WMS", "kml"]) failed t exception, E: Print "publish service failed:", e else: print "Service released successfully!"

Call code:

Import syssys. path. append ("e :\\ codes \ Python") from publishhelper import publishall # You must have the correct permission. Otherwise, the Import fails. publishall ("D: \ testdata ", "http: // localhost/ArcGIS/rest/services", "Sichuan ")

In this way, you can use the Python script to traverse the folder and publish the mxd document as the map service. It can also be used as a Windows service to automatically run as soon as possible.
