The Standard Levels of Geography task generates trade areas based on standard geographic units.

This task allows you to generate trade areas based on predefined geographies. These geographies can be ESRI standard demographic layers.

To select standard geography records, a data table with geographic IDs must be generated from which to create the trade areas. This table will be used to select the IDs from the geography layer. Once selected, the features will be exported as a new feature class.

Alternatively to generating a data table, geographic IDs can be explicitely specified in the geographyIDs array.

For example, if you want to generate trade areas based on a list of ZIP Codes, you would start by creating a table with all the ZIP Code records you want included in the table. This table may be a territory assignment file created by an external process. The ZIP Code records are then matched to the ZIP Code boundaries provided with Community Analyst, and a trade area is created with all matching ZIP Codes.

All non-matching ZIP Codes will not be included in the output trade area. Non-matching ZIP Codes are ZIP Codes that are not valid and do not have a corresponding feature in the input geography layer.

The result of this task is a TaskResultOutput object, which is compatible with ArcGIS Server's mapping APIs. FeatureSet, MapImage, and an array of ReportInfo objects can be returned in it depending on task output options requested. Additionally, the output analysis layer and/or report can be stored to the Business Analyst Server repository.

Property Detail
lastResultproperty
lastResult:TaskResultOutput  [read-only]

The last result of executing the Standard Levels of Geography task.


Implementation
    public function get lastResult():TaskResultOutput
Constructor Detail
StandardLevelsOfGeographyTask()Constructor
public function StandardLevelsOfGeographyTask(urlOrClient:Object = null)

Creates a new instance of the StandardLevelsOfGeographyTask 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:StandardLevelsOfGeographyParameters, commandName:String = null):BACommand

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

Parameters

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

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

Sends a request for executing a Standard Levels of Geography 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:StandardLevelsOfGeographyParameters — Parameters of the task.
 
responder:IResponder (default = null) — A responder to call on result or fault.

Returns
AsyncToken — Asynch token associated with the response.
