We have a geoprocessing service with the following signature: Parameter: Features
Data Type: GPMultiValue:GPFeatureRecordSetLayer
Display Name Features
Description: Input feature set.
Direction: esriGPParameterDirectionInput
Default Value:
Parameter Type: esriGPParameterTypeRequired
Category:
Parameter: Output
Data Type: GPDataFile
Display Name Output
Description:
Direction: esriGPParameterDirectionOutput
Default Value:
Parameter Type: esriGPParameterTypeDerived
Category:
This GP service converts all the FeatureSets in the input to one shapefile. The actual Python code for the service is dead-simple:import sys, os, arcpy
features = arcpy.GetParameter(0)
output = os.path.join(arcpy.env.scratchWorkspace, "ssexport.shp")
arcpy.CopyFeatures_management(features, output)
arcpy.SetParameter(1, output)
We are calling this service with an array of one FeatureSet. That FeatureSet has N features. The service runs properly when N <= 2000, but when the number of features in the FeatureSet exceeds 2000, the GP script fails with "The workspace is not connected."There seems to be a limit of 2000 on the number of features in an input feature set. Note that this IS NOT the well-known 1000 feature output limit. Our research in the docs and online reveals no mention of such an input limit, and our careful search of the entire ArcGIS Server configuration directory reveals no server setting for this input limit.Can someone speak to the existence of this limit and suggest a way to change or circumvent it?Many thanks - Todd
