Additional Information

When viewing raster results in ArcGIS Pro for the GPRasterDataLayer output parameter type, the only supported format is a TIF file, regardless of the format specified for the tool execution. ArcGIS Pro will try to download that TIF into the ArcGIS Pro's temp directory, which may vary from machine to machine and who is running the Pro. That is why the AppData directory is seen. This has nothing to do with when the TIF file for the GPRasterDataLayer will be in the server's output or jobs directory for sync and async gp services. To show such a result file generated by the server, ArcGIS Pro must download such a file. When it comes to the GPString output parameter, %scratchFolder%, which is an inline variable substitution, will get resolved at runtime only when it applies. For example, if you randomly attach some invalid name to %scratchFolder%, then it will show the string as-is. It only translates the scratch folder into the actual path when the whole path specified actually exists. Keep an eye on a new feature for ArcGIS Enterprise 11.4 where the result raster can be viewed as an image service.
