Data management functions

The following sections contain ArcGIS Arcade expressions that allow you to retrieve job data source and version information managed by ArcGIS Workflow Manager. These expressions are typically used in data editing workflows that involve the creation and management of branch versions.

JobDataSource

The JobDataSource expression returns the data source URL of the specified job's workflow diagram if it contains a data source and a version of the data source has been created for the specified job.

Parameters

JobDataSource(job_id, data_source_name)

Name	Explanation	Data type
job_id	The ID of the job.	String
data_source_name	The name of the data source configured in the job's workflow diagram.	String

Output

Returns a string value of the data source URL of the specified job's workflow diagram if it contains a data source and a version of the data source has been created for the specified job.

Expression sample

The following expression returns the data source URL of the current job's workflow diagram:

JobDataSource($Job, 'Utility_Network_Data')

Example output

https://portal.domain.com/server/rest/services/UtilityNetwork_Data/FeatureServer

JobDataSourceArray

The JobDataSourceArray expression returns all of the data source URLs for the specified job's workflow diagram.

Parameters

JobDataSourceArray(job_id)

Name	Explanation	Data type
job_id	The ID of the job.	String

Output

Returns an array of string values of all of the data source URLs for the specified job's workflow diagram.

Expression sample

The following expression returns the data source URLs for the current job's workflow diagram:

JobDataSourceArray($Job)

['https://portal.domain.com/server/rest/services/Utility_Network_Data/FeatureServer', 'https://portal.domain.com/server/rest/services/Parcel_Fabric_Data/FeatureServer']

JobVersionGuid

The JobVersionGuid expression returns the GUID of the active version for the job's specified data source.

Parameters

JobVersionGuid(job_id, data_source_name)

Name	Explanation	Data type
job_id	The ID of the job.	String
data_source_name	The name of the data source configured in the job's workflow diagram.	String

Output

Returns a string value of the GUID of the active version for the job's specified data source.

JobVersionGuid($Job,'Gas_Utility_Network')

Example output

4C190A55-DE4B-4C1D-A40F-918FC7C6766A

JobVersionGuidArray

The JobVersionGuidArray expression returns all of the active data source version GUIDs for the specified job.

Parameters

JobVersionGuidArray(job_id)

Name	Explanation	Data type
job_id	The ID of the job.	String

Output

Returns an array of string values that contains the active data source version GUIDs for the specified job.

Expression sample

The following expression returns all of the data source version GUIDs for the current job:

JobVersionGuidArray($Job)

Example output

['4C190A55-DE4B-4C1D-A40F-918FC7C6766A', '4C190A55-DE4B-4C1D-A40F-918FC7C6766A']

JobVersion

The JobVersion expression returns the name of the specified data source's active version for the specified job.

Parameters

JobVersion(job_id, data_source_name)

Name	Explanation	Data type
job_id	The ID of the job.	String
data_source_name	The name of the data source configured in the job's workflow diagram.	String

Output

Returns the name of the specified data source's active version for the specified job.

Expression sample

The following expression returns the current job's active version name for the Gas_Utility_Network data source:

JobVersion($Job, 'Gas_Utility_Network')

Example output

jdoe.JOB_123

JobVersionArray

The JobVersionArray expression returns the names of all of the specified job's data sources in the order in which they are defined in the workflow diagram.

Parameters
