1. Pr er equi s i t es

ArcGIS 10 with Spatial Analyst extension.

ArcGIS Server 10.

Arc Hydro Tools 2.0 with Water Utilities Framework: install the Arc Hydro
Tools 2.0 for ArcGIS 10 by running the msi file. This will install the correct
version of ApFramework as well.

Copy the Arc Hydro Tools toolbox installed by the setup under the desktop
toolboxes folder into the server toolbox folder so that the server can have
permissions to access the tools from the Arc Hydro toolbox used in the
published service. (If you have a prior version of Arc Hydro installed, make
sure that the tool boxes are replaced by the installation program with the latest
toolboxes. Some times during uninstall/install, the tool boxes are not deleted
and not updated).

2. Set t i ng up t he dat a us ed by t he
geopr oc es s i ng s er v i c e

Create unc paths to the location where the input data used by the service will
be stored. Create the share(s) as \\servername\streamstatsdata for example.

Give read access to ArcGISSOC user to the share(s) and to the content of the
folders on the disk as well.

Give yourself full control to the shared folder and to the content of the folder as
well.



Give ArcGISSOC user and yourself full security permission.

3.1. Set t i ng up t he model t o publ i sh i n Ar c Map

Open a new ArcMap document and add the input data required by the model
you want to create and then save the map in the shared folder. To test the local
delineation, add the following input layers:
- Fdr
- Str
- Str100 (optional): used for snapping
- Catchment
- AdjointCatchment
- Batchpoint

Note
The hucpoly layer is just added to help visualizing the data used in this example and should not be
added in the map as it is not a required input to the service.

Create a new toolbox in the shared folder by right-clicking the connection in
the Catalog window and selecting New >Toolbox. Rename this toolbox
AHServer for example.

Create a new model in the new toolbox (e.g. AHDelineation): this model can
contain tools from any toolbox located in the server toolbox directory (i.e. you
need to copy the Arc Hydro Tools toolbox to the server toolbox directory if not
already done).



Create a folder connection to the ArcGIS Server toolbox directory.

Right-click the model to edit it. Right-click the model window and select
Create Variable. Select Feature Set as variable data type and click OK. Right-
click the new variable and select Properties. Activate the Data Type tab and set
Import schema and symbology from: to BatchPoint using the full path. Click
OK.

Warning
If you use the layer name (BatchPoint) instead of the full path (by browsing to the layer), the service
will fail when called using REST and you will see the following error message:

October 2011 11

Rename the FeatureSet variable PourPoint.

Note
This is the variable name that will be used by the REST API.

Right-click the Batch Watershed Delineation tool and select Open:

- Set the Input Batch Point to PourPoint
- Check the box next to Clear Existing Features (optional)
- Make sure that the output path to Watershed/WatershedPoint are set to a file
geodatabase using the shared path.
- Click OK to save the changes.



Right-click PourPoint and make it a Model Parameter.

Delete the Batch Point input and save the model.

Setting up an Arc Hydro based geoprocessing service

The output to the model must be saved to a scratch workspace before the model can be
published. There is a lock that prevents currently from saving directly the output to the scratch
workspace. This is why the model creates first the output in a shared workspace, and then
copies the new features into the scratch workspace.

Add 2 Feature Class to Feature Class tools from the To Geodatabase toolset
located in the Conversion Tools toolbox into the model.
Setting up an Arc Hydro based geoprocessing service

October 2011 13
Right-click and open the first tool. Set Input Features to the Watershed feature
class and Output Location to the geoprocessing variable %scratchworkspace%.
Enter OutWatershed as Output Feature Class. Click OK.


Right-click and open the second Feature Class to Feature Class tool. Set Input
Features to the WatershedPoint feature class and set Output location to the
variable %scratchworkspace% as well. Enter OutWatershedPoint as Output
Feature Class. Click OK.

Setting up an Arc Hydro based geoprocessing service

October 2011 14


Rename OutWatershed.shp OutWatershed and OutWatershedPoint.shp
OutWatershedPoint.

Right-click OutWatershed and OutWatershedPoint and make them Model
Parameters.

Right-click Watershed and WatershedPoint and make sure they are not set as
Intermediate. Save the model and close it.

Setting up an Arc Hydro based geoprocessing service

October 2011 15


Note
The %scratchworkspace% will use the value set for the geoprocessing scratch worskpace when using
the model in the desktop. The value used by the model published on the server will be the scratch
workspace defined for the server.

You now need to setup the scratch workspace in the desktop environment. You are going to set this
variable to mimic the server environment.

In the Catalog window, right-click your shared folder and select New >Folder.
Rename this folder scratch.

Open the ArcToolbox window by selecting Geoprocessing >ArcToolbox in
the main menu. Right-click the top ArcToolbox node and select Environments
to open the Environment Settings window.

Click on the top Workspace node to expand it and set the Scratch workspace to
the new scratch directory under your shared folder. Click OK to save the
setting.

Setting up an Arc Hydro based geoprocessing service

October 2011 16


Notes
Make sure that the Scratch Workspace Environment Settings is not set for the model or for the tools
within the model or those settings will overwrite the environment you just set at the ArcToolbox level.

Instead of storing the final output as shape files in the scratchworkspace, you can also store them as
feature classes in the scratch geodatabase. To store the output data into feature classes in a scratch file
geodatabase (scratch.gdb), you still need to point the Scratch workspace to the scratch directory, but
you need to point the Output Location for the Feature Class to Feature Class tool to
%scratchworkspace%\scratch.gdb instead of %scratchworkspace% and remove .shp from the Output
feature class.

You are now going to test the model to make sure it is properly setup.
Drag the AHDelineation model into the Table of Contents of ArcMap.

Right-click the model in the Table of Contents and select Open to run it. Note
that the structure of the input PourPoint is imported from the Batch Point
feature class as requested. You can leave the attributes blank for testing. By
default, Batch Done is assumed to be 0 (not processed), SnapOn 1 (snap) and
SrcType is ignored.

Add a basemap to the map (e.g. topomap) by clicking File >Add Data >Add
Basemap and selecting USA Topo Maps (or another relevant basemap). Click
Add to add the basemap into the Table of Contents.

Add any other layer that will help you find a location to delineate (e.g.
str100_all).

Double-click the published model AHDelineation in the Catalog window.

Click on Add Features then click on the map at the location where you want to
perform the delineation. Then click OK.

The published model performs the delineation and generates the output OutWatershed and
OutWatershedPoint as shapefiles in the scratch directory associated to the current job. The results are
also added in the Table of Contents of ArcMap.

5. Tes t i ng t he geopr oc es s i ng s er v i c e
us i ng t he REST API
5.1. REST API i n Ar c GI S Ser ver

The ArcGIS Server REST API, short for Representational State Transfer, provides a simple, open Web
interface to services hosted by ArcGIS Server. All resources and operations exposed by the REST API
are accessible through a hierarchy of endpoints or Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) for each GIS
service published with ArcGIS Server.
When using the REST API, you typically start from a well-known endpoint, which represents the
server catalog. The table of contents for this Help system mimics the hierarchy of resources in the
REST API. The default start URL for an ArcGIS Server installation is:
Java:
ht t p: / / <host >: 8399/ ar gi s/ r est
.NET:
Setting up an Arc Hydro based geoprocessing service

October 2011 31
ht t p: / / <host >/ ar cgi s/ r est
For example, to get to the root directory of ArcGIS Online services, the URL is:
ht t p: / / ser ver . ar cgi sonl i ne. com/ ar cgi s/ r est / ser vi ces
From this base URL, you can traverse to any of the listed service and resources and operations
associated with the service.
The REST API is stateless, which means that REST does not keep track of transactions from one
request to the next. Each request must contain all the information necessary for successful processing.

Services Directory
Each ArcGIS Server comes with a Service Directory, which is a view of the ArcGIS Server REST API
in HTML format. You can browse the contents of an ArcGIS Server and obtain information such as
service metadata and supported operations that can be useful in developing applications.

Resources and Operations
The REST API has some level of support for each of the ArcGIS Server service types. Each service is
a resource and has a unique URL. Although a REST system always returns only representations of
resources to the clients, for the sake of simplicity, the resources of the ArcGIS REST API are divided
into two types: resources and operations.
The supported service types that include operations are map, geocode, geoprocessing, geometry, and
image. Another set of service types that are supported as resources but have no associated operations
include network, geodata, and globe services. One requirement of the REST API is that ArcGIS Server
services must be configured as Pooled. Non-pooled services are not listed in Services Directory.

Output Formats
The REST API supports responses in several formats. The format is specified by using the query
parameter f in the URL. The list of supported formats includes html (HyperText Markup Language),
json (J avaScript Object Notation), image, kmz (compressed KML, or Keyhole Markup Language),
help, lyr (layer file), nmf (ArcGIS Explorer map file), jsapi (J avaScript), ve (Virtual Earth), and gmaps
(Google Maps).

REST API Administration
In addition to being a browser for your published data, Services Directory also provides access to an
administrative console. The administration page is needed to refresh the site after adding, deleting, and
updating services or after updating to a new version of the REST API. Services Directory can also be
disabled through the console. For more information, see REST API Admin.

REST API Admin
URL
ht t p: / / <host >/ <r oot >/ admi n

Description
The REST API supports an admin console. Assuming a default installation, it is available at the
following URLs
Java Server: ht t p: / / <host >: 8399/ ar cgi s/ r est / admi n
.NET Server: ht t p: / / <host >/ ar cgi s/ r est / admi n

The REST Admin is secured so that only users of the agsadmi n group have permissions to
access the admin.

5.2. Test i ng t he ser vi c e usi ng REST

Open a browser and enter the start URL for the ArcGIS Server hosting the
published geoprocessing service (e.g. http://chrid/ArcGIS/rest, where chrid is
the name of the server).
This url allows accessing the Service Directory window listing the available services.

Note
If you do not see the service you just published, you may need to clear the cache by connecting to the
REST Admin console as follows:

Open a browser and enter the REST Admin URL for the ArcGIS Server
hosting the published geoprocessing service (e.g.
http://chrid/ArcGIS/rest/admin, where chrid is the name of the server).
Enter your login/password with administrative right when prompted (e.g.
windows login if you have the appropriate rights).
In the Admin window, click Clear Cache Options.


Setting up an Arc Hydro based geoprocessing service

October 2011 33
Click Clear Cache Now and reenter the start URL (e.g.
http://chrid/ArcGIS/rest). You should now see the newly published services
(e.g. CA_ss10).



Click on the new GPServer service (CA_ss10).
The geoprocessing service is asynchronous and is associated to the result Map Server CA_ss10. It
supports both the REST and the SOAP interface. It has one associated task, AHDelineation, which is
the model you published.

Enter the input PourPoint parameter as follows:
{ "features" : [{ "geometry" : {"x" : -2016360, "y" : 2332860}, "attributes" : {"BatchDone" : 0,
"SnapOn" : 1}}]}

Where x and y are the coordinates of the input point in the same coordinates as the underlying data
supporting the delineation (e.g. Albers).

Note
You can access directly the job submission page for the service by entering the following url
http://chrid/ArcGIS/rest/services/CA_ss10/GPServer/AHDelineation/submitjob


where:
AHDelineation is the name of the model in the published geoprocessing service CA_ss10
Submit job is appended because the service is asynchronous.

6.1. I nst al l i ng Si l ver l i ght

Install ArcGIS Server GIS Services +post install (you may need to log out to
refresh the permissions set during the installation process.)

Install ArcGIS_Server_NET_GISServices (Note: if you are experiencing some
issues when creating the services, you need to double-check that the
permissions have been correctly set).

Install Silverlight by following the steps below:


http://www.silverlight.net/getstarted/
Or, if you already have Visual Studio 2010 installed, and prefer not to use the Web Platform installer, you can still get
everything you need by downloading the Silverlight 4 Tools for Visual Studio 2010.
System Requirements

Supported Operating Systems:Windows 7;Windows Vista;Windows XP Service Pack 3
o Windows 7
o Windows Vista Service Pack 2
o Windows XP Service Pack 3
Visual Studio Requirements:
o Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 with the Visual Web Developer feature
o Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2010 Express

- Install Visual Web Development feature in Visual Studio if missing
- Install Silverlight SDK
- Install ArcGIS Silverlight API (2.0)
(http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/silverlight/)
- Install Silverlight runtime (if missing)


Setting up an Arc Hydro based geoprocessing service

October 2011 42
Copy the sample project SilverApp (Visual Studio 2010)


Open the solution file SilverApp.sln.

If you are getting a message stating that the project is not supported by this installation, you may need
to uninstall and reinstall the Silverlight runtime.

6.2. Set t i ng up t he vi r t ual di r ec t or y

Open IIS
Create a new virtual directory (e.g. DelineationGP) and point it to
SilverApp\SilverApp.Web
Give all permissions except write
Set target to 3.5
Set IIS target asp.net to 4.0

6.3. Set t i ng up t he sol ut i on

You need to edit the solution file to point to your service. This sample is using a synchronous service
so you are first going to edit the service you published to make it synchronous.

In the Catalog window, stop the geoprocessing service, right-click it and select
Service Properties.
Change it Execution Type to Synchronous (Note that the Result Map Service
becomes disabled).
Click Apply, then OK and restart the service.
Open the REST API Admin window (e.g. http://chrid/ArcGIS/rest/admin) and
clear the cache.
Double-check the updated service in the service (e.g.
http://chrid/ArcGIS/rest/services/CA_ss10/GPServer/AHDelineation).

Note that the supported operation is now ExecuteTask instead of SubmitJ ob.

Setting up an Arc Hydro based geoprocessing service

October 2011 43


Open the solution file if not already done.

The map services are defined in the file App.xaml.cs in the SilverApp directory.
This sample uses:
- one basemap map service (tiled):
http://services.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/ESRI_StreetMap_World_2D/MapServer
- one dynamic map service layer used to display the HUC and stream grid used
for snapping (you can use the map server created at the same time as your
service in this example, but you should really create a specific map with all
the layers that you want to display.)
- graphics layer to display the results from the delineation.

The application uses the synchronous geoprocessing service to perform the delineation. This is setup in
the file MainPage.xaml.cs located in the SilverApp directory.

Point the dynamic map service to your published map and the geoprocessing
service to your published synchronous service and save the solution.

Compile the solution and run it to test it or enter the url to access your new
application (e.g. http://chrid/delineationgp/default.aspx).

Zoom in and out and pan using your mouse, then click on the map at the
location where you want to perform the delineation.

The watershed is delineated and added to the map as well as its associated watershed point.















Setting up an Arc Hydro based geoprocessing service

October 2011 45
Note:
A common mistake is to use the result map service to display a basemap for
your geoprocessing service. For example, if your user identifies a parcel by point-
and-click, and your task draws the identified parcel symbolized by some attribute of
the parcel, your initial thought would be to use the result map service to display the
input parcel data (the basemap) as well as the identified parcel. There are two
reasons why you should not use the result map service as a basemap:
When a result map service is added to the application, all layers in the map service
are available for display. These layers include geoprocessing tool layers used to
draw output, layers that may contain sensitive data, or layers used by your
geoprocessing service but that make no sense to the user (like tool layers).
Basemaps are multiscale and multiresolution. As you zoom in and out, the
basemap changes, showing details at large scales and aggregating details into
generalizations at small scales (for example, rivers change from line features at
small scale to polygon features at large scales). Constructing a multiscale and
multiresolution basemap that draws quickly is not something your result map
service needs to be dealing withits job is to draw outputs. You need to keep the
design and implementation of basemap map services separate from the design and
implementation of result map services.

7.1 Connec t i on f i l e
ArcSDE connection files can be created as needed using the Create ArcSDE
Connection File tool or using Add Spatial Database Connection option from
Catalog->Database Connections. If the connection file is created using Database
Connection option, it is stored in users temp location (e.g. C:\Documents and
Settings\user\Application Data\ESRI\Desktop10.0\ArcCatalog\Connection to
CUAHSI.sde). The required ArcSDE connection file is copied or created in the
<ToolShare> folder along with any other data required for the tool to successfully
run.

Model and script tools you develop should be written to access the ArcSDE
connection file found in the ToolData folder using a relative path to the connection
file.
You may have noticed this is really no different than how you would share other
geodatabase data, such as file geodatabase data. For file geodatabases, you also
have to provide the file geodatabase folder (equivalent to providing the ArcSDE
connection file) along with the tools or provide access to the file geodatabase on
the network and have your tools access the data using UNC paths.

7.2 SDE Ac c ess

ArcGISSOC needs to be given permission to view/edit ArcSDE database. You can grant
the permission by running Change Privileges tool from Data Management Tools.
Browse to the datasets, from the database connection, for which the privileges need to
be granted. Specify the SOC user account on the server and select GRANT for
view/edit options.

1. ClientAccessPolicy.xml file needs to be created and put in web server root directory (e.g.
c:\initpub\wwwroot) for cross domain permission.

http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapps/silverlightviewer/help/index.html#//01770000000r000000.h

To access data from a remote server, the remote server needs to have a
clientaccesspolicy.xml file in the web servers root directory (for example,
c:\inetpub\wwwroot). The ArcGIS Viewer for Microsoft Silverlight is built on the
Microsoft Silverlight platform. For security reasons, a Web browser is not allowed to
access data that resides outside the exact Web domain where Silverlight application
(Map Web Part) originated. However, a Silverlight application can load data across
domains if permission is granted from the server. This is accomplished by having a
small clientaccesspolicy.xml file on the remote server that permits Silverlight to
connect to services on that server. For additional information, read the topic Making a
Service Available Across Domain Boundaries. For more information on the structure
and function of a clientaccesspolicy.xml file, read the topic Network Security Access
Restrictions in Silverlight. As an example, you can also view the policy file used by
ArcGIS Online:http://services.arcgisonline.com/clientaccesspolicy.xml.
