Overview

This tool provides a command-line interface for packaging and publishing python toolboxes to ArcGIS Server (10.2.x).

Installation

To install the latest stable version:

pip install python-ags

Latest changes:

pip install https://bitbucket.org/databasin/ags_tool_deploy/get/develop.zip#egg=ags_tool_deploy

Installing manually:

Download the latest changes from the develop branch, extract, and execute

python setup.py install

This will install the script to your local python packages folder as

ags_tool_deploy/deploy.py

Consider adding this folder to your PATH.

Usage

This tool is intended to be run from within a console.

For information on usage, simply run

python deploy.py --help

The commands below allow you to include Mercurial repository information. This does not bundle the full repository, but instead includes the link to the source repository and current branch, so that you can run

hg pull --update

on the server to pull down the full repository.

Packaging

Use the package command to bundle your python toolbox into a service definition (*.sd) file.

Usage: deploy.py package [OPTIONS]   

Package a python toolbox into a service definition file (*.sd). Local
python modules this toolbox references are included automatically.
Requires 7Zip to be installed and on the system PATH.

WARNING: this will overwrite the file  if it already exists.

  Aguments:
  :         Filename of python toolbox (*.pyt) to deploy
  :         Name of service, including folder(s).  Example: SomeFolder/MyTool
  :              Name of the service definition file to create

Options:
  --files                  Wildcard patterns of additional files to
                                  include (relative to toolbox).  Example:

  --help                          Show this message and exit.

Publishing

Usage: deploy.py publish [OPTIONS]

  Aguments:
  :         Filename of python toolbox (*.pyt) to deploy
  :         Name of service, including folder(s).  Example: SomeFolder/MyTool
  :               Hostname and port number of ArcGIS server
  :                 ArcGIS server administrator user name
