Demonstrates how to start and stop the Local Server and start and stop a local map, feature, and geoprocessing service running on the Local Server.
Use case
For executing offline geoprocessing tasks in your apps via an offline (local) server.
How to use the sample
Click Start Local Server
to start the Local Server. Click Stop Local Server
to stop the Local Server.
The Map Service
combo box lets you to pick a local service that is available.
After browsing for the desired file, click Start Service
to start the selected service.
When the running service's url appears, select it and click Open Url
. To stop this running service, click Stop Service
.
How it works
- Create it with
LocalServer::instance
and useLocalServer::start()
to start the server asynchronously. LocalServer::statusChanged()
fires whenever the running status of the Local Server changes. Wait for the server to be in theLocalServerStatus::Started
state.- Create and run a local service. Here is an example of running a
LocalMapService
:new LocalMapService(Url)
creates a local map service with the given URL path to map package (mpkx
file).LocalMapService::start()
starts the service asynchronously.- The service is added to the
LocalServer
automatically.
To stop a LocalServer
and stop any LocalServices
that are added to it:
- Get any services that are currently running on the local server with
LocalServer::services()
. - Loop through all services and stop the selected service (from the dropdown) if it is started.
- Use
LocalService::status()
to check if the service's status isLocalServerStatus::Started
. LocalService::stop()
stops the service asynchronously.LocalService::statusChanged()
fires whenever the running status of the local service has changed. Wait for all services to be in theLocalServerStatus::Stopped
state.- Stop the local server with
LocalServer::stop()
.
