Stopping Service via Python

JoshBillings

Hello all,

I am using the code below to stop a service on ArcGIS Server. This work flawlessly on this particular server.

When I try to use this code on a service on a different server, I get a KeyError: 'folders' error on line 8. Not sure what this error is indicating.

Does anyone know why this would work on one server but not the other? Thanks!

from arcgis import *
from arcgis.gis import server

s = server.Server("hhtps://server-url.com",username='username',password='password')

cdir = s.content

serv = cdir.get("Service Name",folder = "Folder")

serv.service.stop()

These two articles helped me accomplish stopping and starting services programatically:

Hello @JoshBillings ,

i use the service.properties.serviceName == "name_service" for a specific service name. I use this in a toolbox with multiples parameters the service_name = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0)

Hope this could help 🙂

# arcpy.GetParameterAsText(4) => folder_name in arcgis server manager
services = server1.services.list(folder=arcpy.GetParameterAsText(4))
for service in services:
if service.properties.serviceName == service_name:
    service.stop()
    arcpy.AddMessage(service.status)

Hi Josh:

What version of Pro is that python version associated with?

I ask because I had a Pro python script that stopped GIS services that was working in Pro 2.x. Unfortunately, the upgrade to Pro 3.x broke the script due to the architectural changes of Pro 3.x compared to 2.x with regards to security. ESRI development has been looking into issue, but I have not heard back from ESRI if the issue has been resolved (It has been like this for 6 months).

Not sure if its the same exact issue, but both your script and my script were designed to stop services.

Hey @MichaelVolz. I'm running this from Pro and it's using Python 3.9.18.

Is this running python code from Pro (3.x) or from ArcMap (2.7)?

@CodyPatterson- Screenshot is attached. In the screenshot it says "line 20" but that is referencing the serv variable.

Hey @JoshBillings

Do you happen to have a screenshot of the error that it's throwing? I may be able to look a little deeper into it!

It's good that everything else seems to be in order, we may just be down to one issue now!

Hey @CodyPatterson, thanks for the reply! I was able to print s and cdir and it was as expected. I can't get serv printed because it's throwing an error on that line. Is there a way I can force print that even though there is an error?

I also double checked to make sure I had Service Name and Folder name spelled right and that it was actually on the server and it is.

CodyPatterson

Hey @JoshBillings

If you were to print s, cidr, and serv, would you get the expected results as the last server?

I assume what's happening is that the location of a folder may have changed or is not present within the directory listed.

Hope that help!

Cody
