In ArcGIS for Desktop 10.2.1 all these capabilities are easily accessible as Ready-To-Use Services.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2014\/02\/fig11.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-35479 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2014\/02\/fig11.jpg\" alt=\"Watershed Ready-To-Use Service\" width=\"629\" height=\"393\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ready-To-Use Services are ArcGIS Online geoprocessing services which use ArcGIS Online\u2019s data and analysis capabilities. Simply provide a few input features, and all the other data needed for the analysis, \u00a0as well as the computation, are hosted in ArcGIS Online. Most analysis need relatively small amounts of data to be passed to and from the services so they are fast, for example you can calculate a viewshed for anywhere in the world in under 5 seconds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2014\/02\/fig2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-35480 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2014\/02\/fig2.jpg\" alt=\"Viewshed Ready-To-Use Service\" width=\"729\" height=\"584\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>How can you use them? <\/strong>\u00a0Simply open ArcGIS for Desktop 10.2.1 and log in to your ArcGIS Online organizational account, then at the bottom of the Catalog window you will see Ready-To-Use Services. Click on the Elevation connection, then the tools folder, then the Elevation toolbox to see the tools. Double click a tool such as Viewshed to open it, and run it just like any other geoprocessing tool. You can also use them directly in your ModelBuilder models just like any other tool.<\/p>\n<p>If you are unable to see the Ready-to-Use services after logging in, you may need to install a <a title=\"Ready-to-Use Services Patch\" href=\"http:\/\/blogs.esri.com\/esri\/arcgis\/2014\/12\/04\/arcgis-10-2-1-10-2-2-for-desktop-hydrology-tools-ready-to-use-services-patch-2\/\" target=\"_blank\">patch<\/a>.
