[GIS] Calling a custom tool from Python script

Question

I have a script based gp tool published on web (via Flex App). The script goes to many different mxds to write a report.

Then I created another model to do some geoprocessing in a different toolbox and mxd. Now from the first published tool I want to combine one, so that the whole process will execute once called from Flex app.

Answer 1

To do this look at AddToolbox and/or ImportToolbox where it says:

While any of the core ArcGIS toolboxes are accessible by default in a script, your own custom or third-party toolboxes must be added using ImportToolbox to use them in a script.

I've pointed you at 10.1 documentation but have successfully published Geoprocessing Services at 10.0 from tools that call custom tools in my own toolboxes using the method described in the documentation.
