Class: Geoprocessor

require(["esri/tasks/Geoprocessor"], function(Geoprocessor) { /* code goes here */ });

Description

(Added at v1.0)
Represents a GP Task resource exposed by the ArcGIS Server REST API. A GP Task resource represents a single task in a GP service published using the ArcGIS Server and it supports one of the following operations:
  • "execute" - performed on a GP Task resource when the execution type is synchronous.
  • "submitJob" - performed on an asynchronous GP Task resource.

Method Details

cancelJob(jobId, callback, errback)

Cancel an asynchronous geoprocessing job. Requires an ArcGIS Server 10.1 service or greater. (Added at v3.0)
Return type: Deferred
Parameters:
<String> jobId Required A string that uniquely identifies a job on the server. It is created when a job is submitted for execution and later used to check its status and retrieve the results.
<Function> callback Required The function to call when the method has completed. The arguments in the function are the same as the onJobCancel event.
<Function> errback Required An error object is returned if an error occurs during task execution.
Sample:

  gp.cancelJob(jobId, function (info) {

    console.log(info.jobStatus);

  });

 

cancelJobStatusUpdates(jobId)

Cancels the periodic job status updates initiated automatically when submitJob() is invoked for the job identified by jobId. You can still obtain the status of this job by calling the checkStatus() method at your own discretion. (Added at v1.1)
Parameters:
<String> jobId Required A string that uniquely identifies the job for which the job updates are cancelled.

checkJobStatus(jobId, callback?, errback?)

Sends a request to the GP Task for the current state of the job identified by jobId. Upon receiving the response, the onStatusUpdate event is fired and the optional callback function is invoked.
Return type: Deferred
Parameters:
<String> jobId Required A string that uniquely identifies a job on the server. It is created when a job is submitted for execution and later used to check its status and retrieve the results.
<Function> callback Optional The function to call when the method has completed. The arguments in the function are the same as the onStatusUpdate event.
<Function> errback Optional An error object is returned if an error occurs on the Server during task execution. (As of v1.3)

execute(inputParameters, callback?, errback?)

Sends a request to the server to execute a synchronous GP task. On completion, execute-complete event is fired and the optional callback function is invoked.
Return type: Deferred
Parameters:
<Object> inputParameters Required The inputParameters argument specifies the input parameters accepted by the task and their corresponding values. These input parameters are listed in the parameters field of the associated GP Task resource. For example, assume that a GP Task resource has the following input parameters:
  • < GPFeatureRecordSetLayer > Input_Points
  • < GPDouble > Distance
The parameters argument for the above inputs is a data object of the form:
{
 Input_Points: <FeatureSet>,

<Function> errback Optional An error object is returned if an error occurs on the Server during task execution. (As of v1.3)
Sample:
require([
  "esri/Geoprocessor", "dojo/dom", ... 
], function(Geoprocessor, dom, ... ) {
  var gp = new Geoprocessor( ... );
  function executeGP(){
    var params = { "Input_Point":featureSet, "Days": dom.byId("days").value };
    gp.execute(params, displayTrack);
  }
  function displayTrack(results, messages) {
    //do something with the results
    var features = results[0].value.features;
  }
  ...
});

getResultData(jobId, parameterName, callback?, errback?)

Sends a request to the GP Task to get the task result identified by jobId and resultParameterName. On completion, the getresultdatacomplete event will be fired and the optional callback function will be invoked.
Return type: Deferred
Parameters:

Return type: Deferred
Parameters:
<String> jobId Required The jobId returned from JobInfo.
<String> parameterName Required The name of the result parameter as defined in Services Directory.
<ImageParameters> imageParameters Required Specifies the properties of the result image.
<Function> callback Optional The function to call when the method has completed. The arguments in the function are the same as the onGetResultImageComplete event.
