Add a Print Task

Add a Print Task to add a printing service to generate images for map printing in the map. The print task service must point to an Export Web Map Task service (https://<server>/<webadaptor>/rest/services/Utilities/PrintingTools/GPServer/Export%20Web%20Map%20Task).

1. Click the Service Resources tab.
2. Click Add on the GIS Service Resources panel.

3. Enter a Name for the service.
4. Enter the URL of the service.
5. Select Print Task from the Service Type drop-down list and click Add.
6. Select the new resource from the GIS Service Resources panel to finish entering the Resource Details.

The Id, a unique number assigned to the service resource, appears to the right of the resource Name.

7. Select the Security Type, either No Security, OAuth2 App, OAuth2 User, or Token.

See Configure Service Resource Security for more information on security types.

8. Click open service link next to the URL field to quickly check the service connection.

Once a Print Task is added as a resource, add it to a Service Definition. See Add Services to a Service Definition for more information.

There is a known Esri limitation when using a printing service with a secured GIS service that has an Esri resource proxy configured. See 12717: Use Print Services in a Secured Map Service that has an Esri Resource Proxy Configured on MyCityworks for more information.
