Upgrade or Install Python PIP in ArcGIS Desktop 10.4.1

Be The First To Comment
ArcGIS  Desktop 10.4.1’s default pip, C:\Program Files (x86)\Python27\ArcGIS10.4\Scripts  failed to install the packages throwing following error –

Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using '"C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.4
\python.exe" "C:\Python27\ArcGISx6410.4\Scripts\pip.exe" 
The following steps to make the pip to work

Step 1. Open command terminal as Administrator and see if pip works
      Make sure 
            C:\Program Files (x86)\Python27\ArcGIS10.4\Lib;
            C:\Program Files (x86)\Python27\ArcGIS10.4\Scripts;

            C:\Program Files (x86)\Python27\ArcGIS10.4
      are in path            
  
           pip install <package_name> , no luck [ You can Jump directly to #4]
        
Step 2. Check the pip version
            pip --version
            (pip9.0.1 as of today)

Step 3. Try to upgrade pip

            pip install --upgrade pip

            The command run successfully, but did not upgrade pip. Every time terminal complains –
You are using pip version 7.0.1, however version 9.0.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.

Step 4. Installing pip from beginning although it ships automatically in Python 2.7 ( Arcgis 10.)
To install pip, securely download get-pip.py.
Then run the following:

python get-pip.py
or
python get-pip.py --trusted-host pypi.python.org ( if SSL certification error occurs)

Step 5. Check pip version

pip --version

pip 9.0.1 from C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.4\lib\site-packages (python 2.7)
( You should have latest version of pip)

Step 6. Now use pip to install packages

pip install <package_name> --trusted-host pypi.python.org

Descriptions of the Gradle build structure

Be The First To Comment
Descriptions of the build gradle file’s parts

Build Java code

apply plugin: ‘java’
apply plugin: ‘war’

This task compiles, tests, and assembles the code into a JAR or WAR file, 
when you run - gradle build

Specify project folder structure

sourceSets{
                main.java.srcDir “src/main”
                test.java.srcDir “src/test”
}

Build with Gradle Wrapper

task wrapper(type: Wrapper) {
    gradleVersion = '2.7'
}

The Gradle Wrapper is the preferred way of starting a Gradle build. It consists of a batch 
script for Windows and a shell script for OS X and Linux. These scripts allow you to run 
a Gradle build without requiring that Gradle be installed on your system.

Wiring Leaflet, ESRI-leaflet, and Angular for a web map

Be The First To Comment
Basic prototype wiring to map geospatial information using Leaflet, ESRI-leaflet, Angular 4.  There are several nice examples out there, but it is a quick and dirty way of putting all things together and display the map using Angular/Cli.

Step 1. Generate an angular project from angular/cli
                ng new leafletPrototype

Step2. Install all dependencies
a.     Npm install leaflet --save
b.     Nmp install esri-leaflet --save
c.      Npm install @types/leaflet –save

Your pacakage.json will looks like –
"dependencies": {
    "@angular/common": "^4.0.0",
    "@angular/compiler": "^4.0.0",
    "@angular/core": "^4.0.0",
    "@angular/forms": "^4.0.0",
    "@angular/http": "^4.0.0",
    "@angular/platform-browser": "^4.0.0",
    "@angular/platform-browser-dynamic": "^4.0.0",
    "@angular/router": "^4.0.0",
    "@types/leaflet": "^1.0.69",
    "core-js": "^2.4.1",
    "esri-leaflet": "^2.1.1",
    "leaflet": "^1.2.0",
    "rxjs": "^5.1.0",
    "zone.js": "^0.8.4"
  },


Step 3. Configure .angular-cli.json
Add leaflet and esri-leaflet styles and scripts in .angular-cli.json
"styles": [
        "styles.scss",
        "../node_modules/leaflet/dist/leaflet.css",
        "../node_modules/leaflet-draw/dist/leaflet.draw.css"
      ],


      "scripts": ["../node_modules/leaflet/dist/leaflet.js",
        "../node_modules/esri-leaflet/dist/esri-leaflet.js"
      ],

Step 4. Now, run “ng serve” and see if any errors while importing leaflet libraries.

Solved: Cannot connect Postgre in VM from host

Be The First To Comment
Used vagrant for setting up the VM, so set private network and port forward in vagrant file as below -
               
                 migration.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.33.10"
                 migration.vm.network "forwarded_port",guest:5432 , host:15432 


1. Use telnet localhost 15432 to see if the port is open (Host)


Still can not connect to PostgresSql running in VM  :(

Then

2. Edit postgresql.conf (Guest)
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# CONNECTIONS AND AUTHENTICATION
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# - Connection Settings -

           listen_addresses = '*'


3.  Add following in pg_hba.conf

# IPv4 local connections:
host    all             all             127.0.0.1/32            md5
host    all              all            0.0.0.0/0               md5


4. Finally, able to connect to Postgres via localhost:15432

Getting started with Raster and PostGIS - I

Be The First To Comment
Steps for loading a raster in PostGIS (PgSql 9.4/ PostGIS 2.2) and pull it from database to view in QGIS 2.14.17.

1. Generate SQL for raster [NOTE: Do not create PostGIS table name starts with underscore, it creates problem while adding raster to QGIS from PostGIS database using DB Manager]

        raster2pgsql -s 4326 -I -C -M -F -t 50x50 -N nan biodiv_ssolnw.tif > biodiv_ssolnw.sql






2. Import generated raster into PostGIS database [Make sure to enable postgis extension in db]

         psql -h localhost -U postgres -d ecolservicedb -f biodiv_ssolnw.sql

the output is:
Processing 1/1: ags_473038164.tif

Prevent WPF Global Keyboard Hook from stops working after hitting keys a while C# .NET

Be The First To Comment
The article written by Dylan Currier, Low Level Global Keyboard Hook / Sink in C# .NET is one the simple, easily understandable, and and working post on Global Keyboard hook out there in internet. It worked in my WPF application and I added following line in the WPF app to refresh hook after each key press- IDK  if it is write or wrong, more likely to be a wrong practice to hook/unhook every time but it gets the job done. The primary reason to refresh hook is to prevent app hanging (not responding to the key press) after few clicks on the WPF button.

void _listener_OnKeyPressed(object sender, KeyPressedArgs e)
        {
           
          _listener.UnHookKeyboard();
          _listener.HookKeyboard();
        }

Following is the video from Dylan Currier  on Low Level Keyboard Hook in C# / .NET"

When to use ArcGIS Online to publish geospatial data: CASE STUDY EUROPEAN ENVIRONMENT AGENCY

Be The First To Comment
ArcGIS Online is a workspace and a web platform for creating and sharing maps. It is possible to upload your data, create a layer or a map, define the extent, set some visualization options, assign permissions to your layer or map, share, and create web mapping applications or story maps. For information about the other capabilities please visit http://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/.

The ArcGIS online platform is designed to host small datasets, for example demographic datasets. The datasets uploaded to ArcGIS online are relatively small in size, and should not exceed 1-2MB, or around 5000 records. This is to keep the agencies costs down and keep in line with our ArcGIS online pricing plan. It is for this reason that ArcGIS online should not be used to host large datasets, and tiled image services must NOT be uploaded to ArcGIS online. To publish bigger datasets and image services, please refer to the ArcGIS Server.

Catch Exception - Attempted to read or write protected memory in ESRI ArcObjects .Net 4.0 Framework

1 Comment
First - Don't write the code to throw "Attempted to read or write protected memory" ..it is bad.

Second - If you are working on legacy codes and COM objects that throws "Attempted to read or write protected memory" while writing ArcMap add-ins, catch exceptions to prevent application crash, in my case ArcMap.


Step #1 - Add following snippet to config file - app.config for Arc-addin

<configuration>
   <runtime>
      <legacyCorruptedStateExceptionsPolicy enabled="true" />
   </runtime>
</configuration>
Step #2

Add -

[HandleProcessCorruptedStateExceptions] 
[SecurityCritical]
on the top of function you are tying catch the exception

[HandleProcessCorruptedStateExceptions]
[SecurityCritical]
public IFeatureLayer GetOrCreateFeatureLayer(string path, esriGeometryType type, ISpatialReference sr)
{
//body
}

Good compatibility of latest vagrant and virtual box

Be The First To Comment
Continuing from my older post  on Vagrant 1.7.2 / 1.9.2 and Virtualbox 4.3.12  / 5.1.14. I upgraded into Vagrant 1.9.2 and 5.0.x and 5.1.x , because of security vulnerabilities on those Virtualbox versions, but my shell provisions and puppet provision that used to work on old setting suddenly stopped working and tried various workaround to make them working but failed until Virtualbox 5.1.18. I use chocolaty, to upgrade/install vagrant and virtual box in Windows 7 host and able to fire 'vagrant up' to provision my new guest.

Step 1

Install chocolaty in host machine using cmd.exe (Run elevated)
@powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))" && SET "PATH=%PATH%;%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\chocolatey\bin"
      choco -v (Just to make sure chocolaty installed correctly)
      
      0.10.3 (as of 3/16/2017)

    Step 2
    Open Windows' power shell (Run elevated) 
    1. Install or upgrade oracle virtual box

    choco install virtualbox -version 5.1.18
                                                                                                             5.1.18 r114002
    choco upgrade virtualbox

    2. Install or upgrade vagrant

    choco install vagrant -version 1.9.2

    choco upgrade vagrant

    3. Restart the machine
    4. Vagrant up ....Boom all old scripts starting work again!

    Appropriate for Citrix
    ·         making maps with existing data
    ·         querying and selecting spatial data
    ·         creating GIS points from XY coordinates (GPS files)
    ·         Sub -setting data by selection and export
    ·         Creating or editing GIS data feature by feature
    ·         Buffering small data layers (few features, simple features)
    ·         Joins on attribute tables
    Not Appropriate for Citrix
    ·         Geoprocessing (Intersect, Union, Identity …)
    ·         Sub -setting data by Clipping
    ·         Spatial joins

    Code snippet : Create/update polygon attribute fields using Ogr and ESRI Arcobjects

    Be The First To Comment
    A code snippet example to check if a feature is standalone ESRI Shape or featureclass inside ESRI Gdb, then add new filed or update attribute value in attribute table .... standalone shape/features are created/updated using GDAL/OGR implementation and feature/featureclass stored in ESRI personal GDB are created/updated using ESRI ArcObjects.  Any solution to replace later with GDAL/Ogr is highly appreciated.  Please comment below if you find one.

     public void AddUpdateAttributeField(string oldFeatureFile)  
         {  
           DriverUtils.RegisterOgrDriver();  
           DataSource dataSource;  
           Layer layer;  
           var isShapeFile = IsShapeInGdb(oldFeatureFile);  
           if (isShapeFile)  
           {  
             dataSource = Ogr.Open(oldFeatureFile, 1); //second argument in open specifies mode of data, 1 RW & 0 readonly mode  
             layer = dataSource.GetLayerByIndex(0);  
             FieldDefn gdalFiedlDefn = new FieldDefn("FID_GDAL",FieldType.OFTInteger);  
             layer.CreateField(gdalFiedlDefn, 0);  
             Feature feature = layer.GetNextFeature();  
             while (feature!= null)  
             {  
               feature.SetField("FID_GDAL",feature.GetFID()); // Add FID shapefile  
               layer.SetFeature(feature);  
               feature = layer.GetNextFeature();  
             }  
             dataSource.FlushCache();  
           }  
           else  
           {  
             try  
             {  
               EnableEsriLiscences();  
               string gdbPath = Path.GetDirectoryName(oldFeatureFile);  
               string featureName = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(oldFeatureFile);  
               IWorkspaceFactory workspaceFactory = new FileGDBWorkspaceFactory();  
               IFeatureWorkspace featureWorkspace = (IFeatureWorkspace)workspaceFactory.OpenFromFile(gdbPath, 1);  
               IFeatureClass featureClass = featureWorkspace.OpenFeatureClass(featureName);  
               IFields fields = featureClass.Fields;  
               if (fields.FindField("FID_GDAL") == -1)  
               {  
                 // Create a Int field called "FID_GDAL" for the fields collection

    Code snippet: Create new Field in a Shape File using GDAL/OGR in C#

    Be The First To Comment
    Add new field in existing shape file using OGR in C#.
     public void AddAttributeField(string oldShapeFile)  
         {  
           Ogr.RegisterAll();  
           DataSource dataSource = Ogr.Open(oldShapeFile, 1); //second argument in open specifies mode of data, 1 RW & 0 readonly mode  
           Layer layer = dataSource.GetLayerByIndex(0);  
           FieldDefn gdalFiedlDefn = new FieldDefn("NEW_FIELD",FieldType.OFTInteger);  
           layer.CreateField(gdalFiedlDefn, 1);  
           Feature feature = layer.GetNextFeature();  
           while (feature!= null)  
           {  
             feature.SetField("NEW_FIELD",feature.GetFID()); // Populate new field with feature FID  
             layer.SetFeature(feature);  
             feature = layer.GetNextFeature();  
           }  
           dataSource.FlushCache();  
         }
