Output from FindClosestFacilities

Upon successful execution, the service returns the best route and travel directions between the incident and the chosen facility and displays the status indicating whether the analysis was successful using the following output parameters:

output_facilities and output_closest_facilities

This provides access to the output facilities from a closest facility analysis.

The output_closest_facilities parameter includes only those facilities from the set of input facilities that were closest to at least one incident. Conversely, the output_facilities data type includes all the facilities from the analysis including the facilities that cannot be reached from any of the incidents. You can use the Status field from the output_facilities data type to determine why a facility was not used in the analysis.

The following table lists the fields that are returned for output facilities:

Field name	Description
Name	The name of the facility. The values for this field are copied from the Name field on the input facilities.
SourceID	The numeric identifier of the network dataset source feature class on which the input point is located.
SourceOID	The ObjectID of the feature in the source on which the input point is located.
PosAlong	The position along the digitized direction of the source line feature. This value is stored as a ratio. This field is null if the network location references a junction.
SideOfEdge	The side of the edge in relation to the digitized direction of the line feature. This field is limited to a domain of two values: Right Side (1) and Left Side (2).
CurbApproach	The direction a vehicle may arrive at and depart from the facility. The values for this field are copied from the CurbApproach field on the input facilities.
Status	Indicates the status of the point with respect to its location on the network and the outcome of the analysis. The possible values are the following: 0 (OK)—The point was successfully located on the network. 1 (Not Located)—The point was not successfully located on the network and consequently was not included in the analysis. 2 (Network element not located)—The network element identified by the point's network location fields can't be found. This can occur when a network element where the point should be was deleted, and the network location was not recalculated. 3 (Element not traversable)—The network element that the point is located on is not traversable. This can occur when the element is restricted by a restriction attribute. 4 (Invalid Field Values)—Field values fall outside a range or coded-value domain. For example, a negative number exists where positive numbers are required. 5 (Not Reached)—The point can't be reached by the solver. The point may be on a separate, disconnected area of the network from the other inputs, or barriers or restrictions prevent travel to or from the point. 6 (Time window violation)—The point could not be reached within the designated time windows. This status only applies to network analysis types that support time windows. 7 (Not located on closest)—The closest network location to the point is not traversable because of a restriction or barrier, so the point has been located on the closest traversable network feature instead.

solve_succeeded

Use this parameter to determine if the analysis was successful.

output_route_data

Use this parameter to access a .zip file that contains a file geodatabase containing the inputs and outputs of the analysis in a format that can be used to share route layers with ArcGIS Online or Portal for ArcGIS. The parameter value is populated only when the Save Route Data parameter is set to True.

The file is downloaded to a temporary directory on your machine. In ArcGIS Pro, the location of the downloaded file can be determined by viewing the Output Route Data parameter value in the entry corresponding to the tool execution in the geoprocessing history of your project. In ArcMap, the location of the file can be determined by accessing the Copy Location option in the shortcut menu on the Output Route Data parameter in the entry corresponding to the tool execution in the Geoprocessing Results window.

output_result_file

Use this parameter to access the results from the analysis as a .zip file containing one or more files for each output. The format of the individual file is specified by the Output Format parameter. The parameter value is not populated when the Output Format parameter is set to Feature Set.

When a file-based output format—such as JSON File or GeoJSON File—is specified, no outputs are added to the display, since the application (such as ArcMap or ArcGIS Pro) does not draw the contents of the result file. Instead, the result file is downloaded to a temporary directory on your machine. In ArcGIS Pro, the location of the downloaded file can be determined by viewing the Output Result File parameter value in the entry corresponding to the tool execution in the geoprocessing history of your project. In ArcMap, the location of the file can be determined by accessing the Copy Location option in the shortcut menu on the Output Result File parameter in the entry corresponding to the tool execution in the Geoprocessing Results window.

output_network_analysis_layer

Use this parameter to access the network analysis layer file that stores the analysis settings and the inputs and outputs used for the analysis. The parameter value is populated only when the Save Output Network Analysis Layer parameter is set to True.

The file is downloaded to a temporary directory on your machine. In ArcGIS Pro, the location of the downloaded file can be determined by viewing the Output Network Analysis Layer parameter value in the entry corresponding to the tool execution in the geoprocessing history of your project. In ArcMap, the location of the file can be determined by accessing the Copy Location option in the shortcut menu on the Output Network Analysis Layer parameter in the entry corresponding to the tool execution in the Geoprocessing Results window.

Note:

You cannot work directly with this file even when you open the file in an ArcGIS Desktop application such as ArcMap since its data source will not be valid. The file is meant to be sent to Esri Technical Support to diagnose the quality of results returned from the tool.
