Bug

Publishing a service from ArcGIS Desktop using a point geometry as the input feature class causes the tools output feature class to be defined as esriGeometryPoint instead of esriGeometryPolygon.

Additional Information

This is a workflow issue, not a defect. Geoprocessing Tools allow users to define the input and output parameters within ArcGIS Desktop when a tool is created. Create a custom geoprocessing tool using the following documentation to customize the outputs for a workflow, http://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/arcpy/geoprocessing_and_python/setting-script-tool-parameters.htm. Note: ArcGIS Server inherits the tool created in ArcGIS Desktop and the parameters defined on that tool. This is an expected behaviour.

Workaround

  1. Import point feature class in ArcMap.
  2. Run the buffer tool on the feature class.
  3. Share the result as a Geoprocessing package.
  4. Unpack the package and publish the service from the unpacked result.
  5. The service is generated with the correct geometry, esriGeometryPolygon.
