Defense Mapping custom steps (Defense Mapping)

A series of custom steps are available to streamline and automate Esri Defense Mapping TDS production workflows. However, these custom steps are generic in their construction so that ArcGIS Workflow Manager for Desktop workflows can be constructed using these steps in production using any type of the Defense Mapping supported products.

The following custom steps and tokens are available to run with Workflow Manager:

Step name	Prog ID	Description	Return codes
Add Job Hold Step	DefenseMappingSteps.AddJobHoldStep Arguments: /HoldType: <The name of the hold type to add> Ex. /HoldType:Resource /HoldRemarks: <The remarks that should be associated with this hold action> Ex: /HoldRemarks:Job on hold until adequate resources are identified	Creates a hold on the job and halts progress through the rest of the workflow until the hold is removed	0—Successful –1—Failed
Check AOI Step	DefenseMappingSteps.CheckAOIStep	Checks for the existence of the job AOI and provides a return value that allows the workflow to branch as appropriate	1— AOI exists for the job 2— AOI does not exist for the job
Check Extended Property Step	DefenseMappingSteps.CheckExtendedProperty Step Arguments: /tablename:<table name> (required) /propertyname:<property name> (required) /casesensitive (optional)	Checks for a value in an extended property field and returns a specific value used for branching the workflow based on a comparison of the value in the extended property field and any match found in the JTX_AUX_PROPS_RET_CODES table	The value identified in the record for proper workflow branching

Enqueue Job Step	DefenseMappingSteps.EnqueueJobStep Arguments: /synchronize (optional) /geodatabase1:<SDE connection file> (optional) /geodatabase2:<SDE connection file> (optional) /replica_name:<name of replica> (optional) /sync_direction:<BOTH_DIRECTIONS; FROM_GEODATABASE2_TO_1; FROM_GEODATABASE1_TO_2> (optional) /conflict_res:<IN_FAVOR_OF_GDB1; IN_FAVOR_OF_GDB2> (optional) /conflict_def:<BY_OBJECT; BY_ATTRIBUTE> (optional)	Queues the job for synchronization or reconcile/post through the use of the ProcessEdits python script	0—Successful –1—Failed
Execute GP Tool Step	DefenseMappingSteps.ExecuteGPTool Step Arguments: /toolboxpath:<toolboxpath> (required) /tool:<tool> (required) /param:<ParamName>:<ParamValue> (optional) /attach (optional)	Executes a geoprocessing tool, script, or model as defined in an ArcGIS toolbox	0—Failed 1—Successful
Get Edited Feature Count Step	DefenseMappingSteps.GetEditedFeatureCountStep Arguments: /extproptable:<Name of extended property table that will be updated with total edited features count> (optional) /extpropfield:<Name of extended property field that will be updated with total edited features count> (optional)	Updates an extended property of the WMX job with a total number of edited features by reviewing the archive tables of the associated feature classes and counting the changes made within the job and posted to the default version of the central database	0—Successful –1—Failed
JTX Add Attachment Step	DefenseMappingSteps.JTXAddAttachmentStep	Opens a dialog box that prompts you to add attachments to the job if necessary	N/A
Resource MXD Step	DefenseMappingSteps.ResourceMxdStep Arguments: /mxdPath:<mxd path> /dataFrame:<data frame name> (optional) /oldWorkspace:<old workspace path> /newWorkspace:<new workspace path>	Resources the layers of an MXD from one data source to another, assuming that the feature classes are named the same in both data sources and that the original data source is known	0—Successful –1—Failed
Select Data Workspace Step	DefenseMappingSteps.SelectDataWorkspaceStep	Displays a list of data workspaces defined in the WMX Administrator in a dialog box; you can then make a selection of a single data workspace, which will then be assigned to the job	0—Failed 1—Successful
Set Data Workspace Step	DefenseMappingSteps.SetDataWorkspaceStep	Copies the data workspace properties of one WMX job to another	0—Failed 1—Successful
Set Production Properties Step	DefenseMappingSteps.SetProductionProperties Step Arguments: /productLibraryPath:<product library path> /productionDatabasePath:<production database path> /dataModel:<data model> /dataModelVersion:<data model version> /productLibraryUser:<product library user name> (optional) /productionDatabaseUser:<production database user name>	Configures the product library settings required for the job's database to connect to the correct product library so that when ArcMap is launched from the workflow, the product library settings are already configured	0—Successful –1—Failed
