The Profile by Area Summation task creates a new Tapestry segmentation profile on the given polygon layer.

Use this task when you want to create a segmentation profile based on a polygon layer. Segmentation profiles can be created for any polygon feature class, such as trade areas, study areas, and standard geography units in Community Analyst.

Suppose you want to create a Customer Tapestry Profile Report for a set of customers around a given store location. In Community Analyst, you can create a customer derived trade area using the locations of each customer in relation to the store location. For example, you could create a trade area that represents the closest 80 percent of the customers around the store location. This type of trade area is often referred to as the store's primary trade area. Once the trade area is created, you can use the Profile by Area Summation task to create a segmentation profile of the primary market area. This profile will be used as the base segmentation profile for comparison with the target segmentation profile created from your customers from using the Profile by Table Geocoding task.

The result of this task is a new Tapestry segmentation profile which is primarily used as a base segmentation profile in other segmentation tasks. Additionally, the resulting segmentation profile can be stored to the Business Analyst Server repository.

Property Detail

lastResult:ProfileData  [read-only]

The last result of executing the Profile by Area Summation task.


Implementation
    public function get lastResult():ProfileData
Constructor Detail
ProfileByAreaSummationTask()Constructor
public function ProfileByAreaSummationTask(urlOrClient:Object = null)

Creates a new instance of the ProfileByAreaSummationTask class.

A new task can be constructed in two ways: as a task sharing a BAServerClient type instance with other tasks (the urlOrClient parameter has the BAServerClient type) or as a standalone task encapsulating its own client.

The base URL to the Business Analyst Server HTTP Service looks as follows:

http://{host}:{port}/ArcGIS/baserver/REST/services/DefaultMap/BAServer

The {host} and {port} parameters in this URL should be substituted with valid Business Analyst Server host name and port, respectively.

Parameters
urlOrClient:Object (default = null) — A variable containing either Business Analyst Server HTTP Service base URL string or an instance of the BAServerClient class.

Method Detail
createCommand()method
public function createCommand(parameters:ProfileByAreaSummationParameters, commandName:String = null):BACommand

Creates a new command encapsulating this task and the given parameters.

Parameters

parameters:ProfileByAreaSummationParameters — Parameters of a task to be executed.
 
commandName:String (default = null) — Command name.

Returns
BACommand — A new command.
execute()method 
public function execute(parameters:ProfileByAreaSummationParameters, responder:IResponder = null):AsyncToken

Sends a request for executing a Profile by Area Summation task to the Business Analyst Server HTTP (REST) Service.

A response can be received in two ways—in an optional responder object passed in parameters of this method and/or in listeners of fault and taskCompleted events registered for this task.

The responder is notified first when a response is received and parsed. Its fault method receives a parameter of the FaultEvent type and its result method receives a parameter of the BATaskCompletedEvent type whose result property contains the result object. After that the received event is dispatched to listeners of this task.

If a response is succesfully received and parsed, the result is assigned to the lastResult property of this task.

Parameters

parameters:ProfileByAreaSummationParameters — Parameters of the task.
 
responder:IResponder (default = null) — A responder to call on result or fault.

Returns
AsyncToken — Asynch token associated with the response.
