Distance Task Activity

Description:

Uses the ArcGIS Geometry Service to calculate the shortest distance between two geometries.

Inheritance Hierarchy:

Function:

This activity computes the shortest distance between geometries using the specified units.

In a Workflow:

After performing a query to obtain a set of features, this activity can be used to compute the distances of each feature from another location.

Properties:

Name	Description
In Arguments
Credentials	The network credentials that are sent to the host and used to authenticate the request.
Custom Parameters	Additional parameters to include in the request.
Disable Client Caching	If true, adds a timestamp parameter (_ts) to the request to prevent it from being loaded from the application's cache.
Distance Unit	The unit for measuring distance between Geometry 1 and Geometry 2. If the unit is not specified, it is derived from the Spatial Reference.
Geodesic	Calculate distance based on a geodesic coordinate system.
Geometry 1	The geometry from where the distance is to be measured.
Geometry 2	The geometry to which the distance is to be measured.
Geometry Service Url	The URL of the ArcGIS Server Geometry service. For example: `http://sampleserver1.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Geometry/GeometryServer`.
Proxy Url	The URL to proxy the request through.
Token	The token for accessing a secure ArcGIS task.
Misc
Display Name	DistanceTask You can change the name of an activity to one that describes what it does. A descriptive name can make a workflow easier to interpret and maintain.
Out Arguments
Result	The calculated distance.
