grunt-arcgis-press

A grunt task for covering your ArcGIS service publishing needs. Hot off the press!

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt.

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-arcgis-press --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-arcgis-press');

The "arcgis_press" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named arcgis_press to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  arcgis_press: {
    options: {
      server: {
        username: 'an administrative username for accessing the /arcgis/admin page. Store this value in your secrets.json file.',
        password: 'the password for that user. Store this value in your secrets.json file.'
      },
      mapServiceBasePath: 'the base path (parent folder) to your mxd\'s. This can be placed into your secrets.json file to allow for different project structures among developers.',
      commonServiceProperties: {
        // these properties can be any item from the services json. They will be mixed into all of services 
        minInstancesPerNode: 0,
        maxInstancesPerNode: 3
      },
      services: {
        service1: {
          type: 'The type of the resource being published (MapServer|GpServer|Soe)',
          serviceName: 'The service name when publishing to server',
          resource: 'The file name with extension from within the serviceBasePath being published.'
          // all commonServiceProperties will be mixed in with these
        },
        service2: {
          // you can have as many of these as you need for your project.
        }
      }    
    },
    dev: {
      // Target-specific overrides for test, stage, and production go here. These override the service level entries.
      server: {
        host: secrets.devHost
      },
      commonServiceProperties: {
          minInstancesPerNode: 0
      },
      services: {
          // these names much match the earlier entries for the overrides to link
          service1: {
              serviceName: 'This'
          }
      }
    },
    stage: {
      server: {
        host: secrets.stageHost
      },
    },
    prod: {
      server: {
        host: secrets.prodHost
      },
    }
  },
})

Python usage

grunt-arcgis-press uses a python module to perform the interactions with arcgis server. This python module makes it possible to use the modules api without using grunt. Theoretically, other build tool plugins could be created using the python module or you can invoke it directly. It invaluable for debugging also. Below are the cli options and examples.

Stage

press stage <ip> <username> <password> <json> <[temp_folder]>
python -m press stage localhost user pass {\"type\":\"MapServer\",\"serviceName\":\"MainDevMapService\",\"resource\":\"C:\\Projects\\GitHub\\BEMS\\maps\\BEMS.local.mxd\",\"folder\":\"press\"}

Upload

press upload <ip> <username> <password> <sd> <connection_file>
python -m press upload localhost user pass c:\\Projects\\GitHub\\grunt-arcgis-press\\tasks\\scripts\\.temp\\draft.sd c:\\Projects\\GitHub\\grunt-arcgis-press\\tasks\\scripts\\.temp\\server_connection.ags

Edit

press edit <ip> <username> <password> <json> <[temp_folder]> python -m press edit localhost user pass {\"type\":\"MapServer\",\"serviceName\":\"MainDevMapService\",\"resource\":\"C:\\Projects\\GitHub\\BEMS\\maps\\BEMS.local.mxd\",\"minInstancesPerNode\":2,\"capabilities\":\"Map,Query\",\"properties\":{\"maxRecordCount\":\"1500\"},\"maxInstancesPerNode\":3}

Publish

press upload <ip> <username> <password> <json> <[temp_folder]>
python -m press publish localhost user pass {\"type\":\"MapServer\",\"serviceName\":\"MainDevMapService\",\"resource\":\"C:\\Projects\\GitHub\\BEMS\\maps\\BEMS.local.mxd\",\"minInstancesPerNode\":2,\"capabilities\":\"Map,Query\",\"properties\":{\"maxRecordCount\":\"500\"},\"maxInstancesPerNode\":3}
