Hi All, I want to test viewshed and LOS on a system that is not connected to the internet. Pl let me know If i will need a production license to implement and test this feature. Also let me know what licence would be required to get this feature

Hi Rex.

You can download and test your development without any production license, including Viewshed and LOS.

You can download the entire SDK from http://developers.arcgis.com/java today, all you need to do is register for a free developer account. No license necessary.

You can also download the Sample Viewer from here, which includes Viewshed:  Viewshed | ArcGIS for Developers

Hi Eric,

Thanks I have run this sample and getting the results. But I would like to run it using the localserver. I donot find any geoprocessing service associated with LOS and viewshed for local server.

Thanks

Rex

Hi Rex.

Sorry for my confusion. You are correct, we don't include a Geoprocessing package to use with the localserver in our out-of-the-box sample data and resources.

If you look at the Esri/vehicle-commander-java · GitHub repo, you'll find one. Maybe Vehicle Commander is a good place to start, since it does use a localserver viewshed model. Let me know if this is helpful or not.

You can also read about creating your own GP packages for use in ArcGIS Runtime here: Author and publish a geoprocessing model—ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Java | ArcGIS for Developers . The example is geared toward creating a local routing task, but the principles are the same for viewshed, line of sight, or any custom model you might need to use.
