Hi everyone,
I'm trying to download a file geodatabase using a script. The script is taken from the ESRI documentation with minimal changes, basically I'm querying for the required feature layer appending date and time and exporting as a FGDB. The script works as expected by creating the FGDB on AGOL, but when I try and download the FGDB the script fails and fails to export to my local file plan, I can't figure out what is stopping the download, my code is a follows
from arcgis.gis import GIS
import datetime as dt
username = "CSV_GIS_Defects"
gis = GIS('url','username','password', verify_cert=False, proxy_host='proxy', proxy_port=port)
folder_path=r'D:\ArcGisExportData\GeoDatabase'
items = gis.content.search(query="title:CSV_GIS_Defects", item_type="Feature Layer", sort_field='modifed', sort_order='desc')
print(str(len(items)) + " items will be backed up to " + folder_path +". See the list below:")
items
def download_as_fgdb(item_list, backup_location):
for item in item_list:
try:
if 'View Service' in item.typeKeywords:
print(item.title + " is view, not downloading")
else:
print("Downloading " + item.title)
version = dt.datetime.now().strftime("%d_%b_%Y")
print(version)
result = item.export(item.title, "File Geodatabase")
print(result)
result.download(backup_location)
result.delete()
print("Successfully downloaded " + item.title)
except:
print("An error occurred downloading " + item.title)
print("The function has completed")
download_as_fgdb(items, folder_path)
The errors I receive in Jupyter
1 items will be backed up to 
\ArcGisExportData\GeoDatabase. See the list below:
Downloading CSV_GIS_Defects
03_Mar_2022
<Item title:"CSV_GIS_Defects" type:File Geodatabase owner:shaw_b>
An error occurred downloading CSV_GIS_Defects
The function has completed
any help would be greatfully appreciated
