I have a geoprocessing service that was successfully published to our Server instance. I’m using 10.3 which means we could not publish unless it was successfully run as a tool in ArcMap. But now when I try calling the GP service form my client I am getting an error that the dataframe object was not created properly. I am not sure why the script works in ArcMap and not on the server. Here is the script
import sys, string, arcpy, os
# get default script location
scriptPath = sys.path[0]
# Construct paths to mxd
mxdFilePath = os.path.join(scriptPath,"Mymxd.mxd")
mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(mxdFilePath)
df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd)[0]
shpPath = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0)
newLayer = arcpy.mapping.Layer(shpPath)
arcpy.mapping.AddLayer(df,newLayer,"TOP")
arcpy.RefreshActiveView()
del newLayer
del mxd
And here is the error
