Detecting if process in model has successfully run in ModelBuilder?

Question

I have a model designded in ModelBuilder to process raster datasets. It embraces a whole bunch of processes such as raster calcualtion, BlockStatistics and Kriging. I am wondering how I can put in success validation for each of the process in the model in ModelBuilder to detect if the process has successfully run.

Is it possible without converting the model to python?

The Model will be eventually published as Geoprocessing Service by ArcGIS Server 10.1 so that the web browse calls the service and then gets a Result as the output in JSON if the Model rans successfully or on which process it failed. The success validation component should be part of the Model and generate result as parameter of the model.

Answer 1

I use code like this within my Python scripts that get exposed as Geoprocessing Services.

arcpy.SetParameterAsText(9, "SUCCEEDED")

or

arcpy.SetParameterAsText(9, "FAILED")

I think the ModelBuilder equivalent would be to use an output parameter.

It shows up at the top of the returned JSON as something like this (for failure):

{
  "results" : [
    {
      "paramName" : "MapRequestResult",
      "dataType" : "GPString",
      "value" : "FAILED"
    }
  ],
  "messages" : [

You can creat a model report :

To create a model report, do the following: Steps:

1. Choose from the menu by clicking Model > Report.
2. Choose either Report on your screen or Save it to a file as the way you will view the report.

3. If you choose to save, navigate to the location you want to save the report, type in a new name, then click Save.

   Reports are saved to an XML file. You can view this file in your browser, such as Internet Explorer.

or you can use validation script By adding Python code You can provide custom behavior for your script tool dialog box, such as enabling and disabling parameters, providing default values, and updating string keywords.

Just bring up the results window. http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#/Using_the_Results_window/002100000013000000/
