Additional Information

Publish a Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) service from ArcGIS Pro using the Solve Vehicle Routing Problem geoprocessing tool is not the best way to publish a VRP service. The tool is also deprecated from ArcGIS Pro. Refer to the documentation for more information: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/network-analyst/solve-vehicle-routing-problem.htm.

Workaround

The best way to publish a Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) service is to run Publish Routing Services utility. There are two workflows to do so:

Configure routing services UI-based workflow (Introduce in ArcGIS Enterprise 11.0, a UI-based workflow from Portal for ArcGIS apps). Refer to the documentation for more information: https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/portal/latest/administer/windows/configure-routing-services.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_21A40CADA9D94FC18A2F3A07B46F26F5.
Use the Publish Routing Services utility (This is helpful for ArcGIS Enterprise 11.0 and below, or is a standalone server). Refer to the documentation for more information: https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/server/latest/develop/windows/publishing-routing-services.htm.

Using these workflows, users get a performant Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) service using ArcGIS Pro service runtime on the server.
