Help Cloning Items Using Jupyter Notebook

DaveK

Hello!

I'm trying to clone items from our AGO to our organizations enterprise Portal and vice versa. When connecting to my AGO account through the notebook it seems to work just fine. It alerts me that I am logged in as an administrator. When connecting to my Portal account it throws a number of errors including a connection error. Do I need to be an administrator to complete the cloning? Is there any issue with our portal being behind a firewall? and lastly, is an advanced license of Notebook server required for this? Are any of the ArcPy modules required for the cloning process? We currently only have a standard server license. Any help on this topic is appreciated.

Thanks.

Good morning @ReeseFacendini,

After some more research and playing around with Python scripts, I've come across one that worked for me. Here is the script:

source = GIS("PORTAL URL", "PORTAL USERNAME", "PASSWORD", verify_cert=False)

target = GIS("https://arcgis.com", "AGO USERNAME")

#list all items in user account
sourceuser = "PORTAL USERNAME"
user = source.users.get(sourceuser)
items = user.items()
print("--> Root")
for item in items:
    print("\t{} : {} : {}".format(item.title, item.type, item.id))
folders = user.folders
for fld in folders:
    flditems = user.items(fld['title'])
    print("--> " + fld['title'])
    for item in flditems:
        print("\t{} : {} : {}".format(item.title, item.type, item.id))


#set item as variable
CloneItem = source.content.get("ITEM ID")
CloneItem

#clone the item
cloned_items = target.content.clone_items(items=[CloneItem])
for ci in cloned_items:
    display(ci)

I appreciate all your help with this!

Thanks.

Hey @ReeseFacendini ,

Thanks for the info! I'm using notebooks within ArcPro on a machine within our network. After trying to connect to our Portal, I receive this message.

I'm on step 2 of this guide - https://support.esri.com/en/technical-article/000022252

I've entered my portal URL and my username and password.

Is there something different I should be doing or does something need to happen on the Portal end to enable access?

Thanks.

If your Portal is not public facing, then using Notebooks in ArcGIS Online won't work. ArcGIS Online has no way to find your Portal behind a firewall. With that being said, you can use Jupyter Notebooks from ArcGIS Pro on a machine within your network that can access your Portal and ArcGIS Online. All the functions will be the same from the Notebooks in AGOL and Pro, and this would solve the connection errors you are seeing.

Hey @ReeseFacendini,

Good to know we don't need an advanced license. I am using the notebooks within ArcGIS Online. Our Portal is not public facing.

Clone items is done through the Python API and does not use arcpy modules, so no you don't need to have an advanced license to run it. You don't need to be an administrator for either system, but it often helps cut down on permission issues that can come up. When attempting to connect to your Enterprise Portal, are you doing that from Notebooks in ArcGIS Online? If so, is your Enterprise Portal public facing?
