Method Detail

getSourceID

String getSourceID()
                   throws IOException,
                          AutomationException

The id of the source to use when drawing the layer.

Remarks

SourceID is used for map service interaction with the GPServer. It is a unique job id assigned to a geoprocessing service each time it runs on the server. This property can be used to find out which geoprocessing job has created this layer.

It is important to note that LayerID, SourceID and the index of layers (see MapLayerInfos) in map document are not the same.

Returns:

The srcID

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.
