Extract Data (Server)

Summary

Extracts selected layers in the specified area of interest to a specific format and spatial reference. The extracted data is then written to a zip file.

Caution:

This script tool is not intended for general use. This tool is intended specifically for the use of a data extraction geoprocessing service such as the Extract Data Task and Extract Data and Email Task model tools, or a clip and ship geoprocessing service such as the Geoprocessing service example: Clip And Ship. If you are only looking for simple tools to subset feature data, look in the Extract toolset or at the Clip tool.

Usage

• A custom spatial reference name can be entered into the Spatial Reference parameter provided that the folder containing the custom spatial reference is specified in the Custom Spatial Reference Folder parameter.

Syntax

ExtractData_server (Layers_to_Clip, Area_of_Interest, Feature_Format, Raster_Format, Spatial_Reference, {Custom_Spatial_Reference_Folder}, Output_Zip_File)

Parameter	Explanation	Data 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 Caution: 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
Spatial_Reference	The spatial reference of the output data delivered by the tool. For standard Esri spatial references, the name you provide here should be the name of the desired coordinate system. This name corresponds to the name of the spatial reference's projection file. Alternatively, you can use the Well Known ID (WKID) of the coordinate system. For example: Sinusoidal (world) WGS 1984 Web Mercator NAD 1983 HARN StatePlane Oregon North FIPS 3601 WGS 1984 UTM Zone 11N 102003 54001 If you want the output to have the same coordinate system as the input, then use the string Same As Input. For any custom projection, the name specified should be the name of the custom projection file (without extension). The location of the custom projection files should be specified in the Custom_Spatial_Reference_Folder parameter.	String
Custom_Spatial_Reference_Folder (Optional)	The location of any custom projection file or files referenced in the Spatial Reference parameter. This is only necessary if the custom projection file is not in the default installation Coordinate System folder.	Folder
Output_Zip_File	The zip file that will contain the extracted data.	File
