ListMapServices

Summary

Lists the names of map services for a designated ArcGIS Server.

Discussion

In order to connect to the ArcGIS Server you need to supply both the server URL (connection_url_or_name) and the server host name (server). If you are connecting to a UNIX/Linux server you will also need to supply authentication information. This includes a username (connection_username), password (connection_password), and domain (connection_domain). If you are not publishing to a UNIX/Linux server you do not need to supply this information since authentication information is provided by the operating system.

If map services belong to a folder, the folder name will be part of the returned map service name (e.g., MapFolder1/MapService1). If you want to use just the map service name you will need to parse out the folder name.
