From WebOffice 10.8 SP1 on, the setup of VertiGIS Studio Printing Engine can be done with an installer. See chapter Installation with Setup. |
|
•Starting with WebOffice 10.8 SP1, the setup of the VertiGIS Studio Printing Engine can be done with an installer. See chapter Installer Setup. •To use the VertiGIS Studio Printing Engine, at least ArcGIS 10.8.1 is required. However, VertiGIS strongly recommends Esri product versions ArcGIS Desktop (ArcMap) 10.8.2 and ArcGIS Enterprise 10.9.1, as these are Long Term Releases from Esri Inc. Furthermore, it is recommended to use ArcGIS Pro 2.9.x. •Due to known technical limitations, an error-free installation as well as use of VertiGIS Studio Printing Engine on ArcGIS 10.8.1 and older versions can no longer be guaranteed. •Directly on the GIS server (where VertiGIS Studio Printing Engine is published) no ArcGIS Pro installation is mandatory. The administration of layouts and publishing of Web Tools can be done from an administration computer. |
|
WARNING! •In case of problems with the installation it is recommended to run the setup file as administrator via Windows command prompt (CMD.exe). This local admin user must have write permissions to the .\arcgisserver\directories\VertiGIS_PrintLayouts directory. •If the post-installer and the associated publishing process is run under a user (e.g. administrator) who has never opened the ArcGIS Pro application on the machine with a correct licensing, the post-installer will abort with an error message (The Product License has not been initialized). In this case, the Windows user running the post-installer must have opened ArcGIS Pro at least once to ensure that the ArcGIS Pro license is correctly assigned. •When using the VertiGIS Studio Printing Engine with ArcGIS 10.8.1 the installation of Patch ArcGIS Server 10.8.1 Print Service Patch and ArcGIS Server 10.8.1 Print Service and Text Element Patch is necessary! |
To set up and use VertiGIS Studio Printing Engine GP service on a server manually (as an alternative to Installation with Setup), the following steps are necessary:
•Navigate to WebOffice10.9R4-DVD\Software\WebOffice directories\VertiGIS_PrintLayouts and copy the Print Layouts to your server to:
..\arcgisserver\directories\VertiGIS_PrintLayouts
•Create on your ArcGIS Server or Portal for ArcGIS a sub folder named: „VertiGIS_Utilities“
•Register the Layout folder - VertiGIS Print Layouts on your ArcGIS Enterprise. This can be done in ArcGIS Pro or alternatively in ArcGIS Server Manager.
|
If you do not register the VertiGIS Print Layouts folder, ArcGIS Pro may not publish correctly. |
|
For more details on registering data stores in ArcGIS Pro see ArcGIS online help. |
•Navigate to WebOffice10.9R4-DVD\Software\VertiGIS Utilities\VertiGIS Studio Printing Engine\VertiGIS Printing Toolbox\VertiGISPrintingToolbox.zip and copy the content to your server to: ..\arcgisserver\directories\WebOfficeGeoprocessing\VertiGIS_Utilities. Unzip the file locally and copy the Folder VertiGISPrintingToolbox to ..\arcgisserver\directories\WebOfficeGeoprocessing\VertiGIS_Utilities.
•Open your ArcGIS Pro installation.
•Add the following Toolbox using add Toolbox: ..\arcgisserver\directories\VertiGIS_Utilities\VertiGISPrintingToolbox\VertiGISPrintingTools.pyt
This closed Python Toolbox with the file extension .pyt contains the following tasks:
•Get Index Info Task
•Get Layout Templates Info Task
•Get Product Info Task
•VertiGIS Print Task
•VertiGIS Pro Print Task
All tasks must be executed first in ArcGIS Pro.
To do this, execute all tasks in ArcGIS Pro (via double-click - please follow the above sequence).
•For the VertiGIS Print Task please note the following settings:
oFor the Web Map as JSON attribute, enter two brackets -> {}
ofor the attribute Output File, any path/file name can be temporarily selected.
ofor the attribute Format select PDF'
oReference the VertiGIS_PrintLayouts Folder (default path: ..\arcgisserver\directories\VertiGIS_PrintLayouts)
oFor Layout Template, select any existing template instead of MAP_ONLY.
Execute the Geoprocessing Task by clicking Run. |
•With the Get Layout Templates Info Task you reference the VertiGIS_PrintLayouts again:
•In the Get Product Info Task, reference the VertiGIS_PrintLayouts again and run the task by clicking Run:
•For the Get Index Info Task, at Request JSON enter {} again and reference to the VertiGIS_PrintLayouts. Execute the task by clicking Run.
•The VertiGIS Pro Print Task is optional. Please note the following settings:

oFor Layout Template, select any existing template instead of MAP_ONLY.
| Execute the Task by clicking Run. |
•In the GeoProcessing history, check the successful execution of the scripts:
•If these scripts (tasks) have been run successfully in ArcGIS Pro, the results must be published on your ArcGIS Enterprise:
