- URL:https://<task-url>/execute
- Related Resources:Task, Submit a job
- Version Introduced:9.3
Description
The execute operation is performed on a task resource for synchronous geoprocessing services. The result contains an array of result parameters and the geoprocessing task messages. Each result parameter provides the parameter name, data type, and value.
The information provided by each result parameter is identical to the information provided by the results parameter resource. Based on the data type of the parameter, the value follows different syntax.
You can provide arguments to the execute operation as query parameters. These parameters include the input parameters accepted by this service and their corresponding values. The input values for the execute operation are identical to the input values for the submitJob operation. Additionally, you can specify environment parameters such as context.
Request parameters
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| <gpParameter1>, <gpParameter2>, ... | The various input parameters accepted by the corresponding geoprocessing task. These parameters are in the parameters array of the JSON representation associated with the task resource. The valid values for the input parameters are dependent on the data type of the parameter. These values are discussed in more detail in Submit a job. |
| env:outSR | This option was deprecated at 10.6.1. See the contextparameter below. |
| env:processSR | This option was deprecated at 10.6.1. See the contextparameter below. |
| context | This option was added at 10.6.1. contextsupports outSR, processSR, and extent:
|
| returnZ | If true, z-values will be included in the results if the GPFeatureRecordSetLayer value has z-values. Otherwise, z-values will not be returned. The default is false. Values: true | false |
| returnM | If true, m-values will be included in the results if the GPFeatureRecordSetLayer value has m-values. Otherwise, m-values will not be returned. The default is false. Values: true | false |
| returnTrueCurves | If true, true curves will be returned in the results if the GPFeatureRecordSetLayer value has curves. The default is false. Nota:The geojson output format does not support curves. It is recommended that you do not use the combination of the geojson output format and the returnTrueCurves parameter as true. Values: true | false |
| returnFeatureCollection | This option was added at 10.6. If true, the feature collection of the GPFeatureRecordSetLayer results will be returned. The default is false. Values: true | false |
| returnColumnName | This option was added at 11.0. If true, column names of all columns of the GPValueTable result will be returned when all columns have a unique and not empty name. The default is false. Values: true | false |
| f | The response format. The default response format is html. Support for f=amf was added at 10.0 and removed at 10.7. Support for geojson was added at 10.5. Values: html | json | kmz | geojson |
Example usage
With this operation, the majority of the parameters that you include in a request are dependent on the input parameter types of the geoprocessing task that you are running. The execute and submitJob operations share the same syntax for all input parameter types, and examples of all input parameter types are discussed in Submit a job.
Example 1: Run the MessageInABottle task originating at lat-long [0, 0] for 50 days:
Sample GET request. You may need to encode the request if the client doesn't encode it automatically.
https://machine.domain.com/webadaptor/rest/services/Specialty/ESRI_Currents_World/GPServer/MessageInABottle/execute?Input_Point={"features":[{"geometry":{"x":0,"y":0}}]}&Days=50Example 3: Run the Viewshed task, and define the output spatial reference as WGS84 (wkid: 4326):
The GET request uses the context parameter to specify the output spatial reference with a JSON return.
