Extract Data and Email Task (Server)

License Level:BasicStandardAdvanced

Summary

Extracts the data in the specified layers and area of interest to the selected format and spatial reference, zips the data, and emails it to the specified address. This tool can be used to create a Data Extraction geoprocessing service.

CautionCaution:

This tool is intended primarily for use as a part of a geoprocessing service. When using this tool as a part of a geoprocessing service, copy the tool into a custom toolbox, edit the model, and reconfigure it as necessary. It is important to note that this tool will not work unless you open and edit the model (as described below) before publishing the model as a service.

Usage

Syntax

ExtractDataAndEmailTask_server (Layers_to_Clip, Area_of_Interest, Feature_Format, Raster_Format, To)
ParameterExplanationData Type
Layers_to_Clip
[Layer,...]

The layers to be clipped. Layers must be feature or raster layers in the map's table of contents. Layer files do not work for this parameter.

Layer
Area_of_Interest

One or more polygons by which the layers will be clipped.

Feature Set
Feature_Format

The format in which the output features will be delivered. The string provided should be formatted as follows:

  • Name or format - Short Name - extension (if any)
The hyphen between the components is required, as well as the spaces around the hyphen.

For example:

  • File Geodatabase - GDB - .gdb
  • Shapefile - SHP - .shp
  • Autodesk AutoCAD - DXF_R2007 - .dxf
  • Autodesk AutoCAD - DWG_R2007 - .dwg
  • Bentley Microstation Design (V8) - DGN_V8 - .dgn

Internally, this tool uses the Export to CAD tool to convert data to the .dgn, .dwg, and .dxf CAD formats. The list of short names supported includes DGN_V8, DWG_R14, DWG_R2000, DWG_R2004, DWG_R2005, DWG_R2007, DWG_R2010, DXF_R14, DXF_R2000, DXF_R2004, DXF_R2005, DXF_R2007, and DXF_R2010.

Exporting to nondefault formats is supported using the Quick Export tool and that requires the Data Interoperability extension be installed. The Data Interoperability extension is not installed by default with ArcGIS for Desktop or ArcGIS for Server.

String
Raster_Format

The format in which the output raster datasets will be delivered. The string provided should be formatted as follows:

  • Name of format - Short Name - extension (if any)

Any of the following strings will work:

  • Esri GRID - GRID
  • File Geodatabase - GDB - .gdb
  • ERDAS IMAGINE - IMG - .img
  • Tagged Image File Format - TIFF - .tif
  • Portable Network Graphics - PNG - .png
  • Graphic Interchange Format - GIF - .gif
  • Joint Photographics Experts Group - JPEG - .jpg
  • Joint Photographics Experts Group - JPEG - .jp2
  • Bitmap - BMP - .bmp
CautionCaution:

Some of the above raster formats have limitations and not all data can be converted to the format. For a list of formats and their limitations, see Supported raster dataset file formats.

String
To

The email address of the recipient.

CautionCaution:

This tool will be able to email to this address if and only if the SMTP server has been configured within this model.

String

Environments

This tool does not use any geoprocessing environments
