Add feature to map and upload as web layer

ZiqingYu

Hi all,

I want to use python to upload a web layer as https://pro.arcgis.com/de/pro-app/3.1/tool-reference/server/upload-service-definition.htm shows, if the layer is already in the map view, everything is ok

however, I want to upload the data directly from geodatabase, and I don't know what to do. Here's what I tried:

and the error I got:

what should I do?

try this instead

aprx = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject("Current")
### Bug Fix ###
aprx.closeViews("MAPS")
aprx.listMaps("Map")[0].openView()
aprx.save()

Since you pointed out the .addDataFromPath was causing the issue I was able to reproduce that as the cause of the error.

I found that using .addDataFromPath then restarting ArcPro and running the block of code where I attempt to publish will work 100% of the time (5/5 times to be exact).

So I assumed that the map object just needed to be refreshed: adding this line of code seems to work for me test and let me know if it works for you. I have this done before I create the sddraft using .getWebLayerSharingDraft().

aprx = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject("CURRENT")
aprx.closeViews("MAPS")
aprx.listMaps("Map")[0].openView()

@ZiqingYu would you be surprised to find out the the fix I implemented last week does not work today and I am now receiving the error again.

I do use add data from path as my script creates new layers and tables that are being published. When I add the feature manually I still receive the error though.

Hi Brandon,

Actually I'm using this code sample from the same page, the lines you mentioned are not used by me.

import arcpy
import os

# Sign in to portal
arcpy.SignInToPortal("https://www.arcgis.com", "MyUserName", "MyPassword")

# Set output file names
outdir = r"C:\Project\Output"
service_name = "FeatureSharingDraftExample"
sddraft_filename = service_name + ".sddraft"
sddraft_output_filename = os.path.join(outdir, sddraft_filename)
sd_filename = service_name + ".sd"
sd_output_filename = os.path.join(outdir, sd_filename)

# Reference layers to publish
aprx = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject(r"C:\Project\World.aprx")
m = aprx.listMaps('World')[0]
selected_layer = m.listLayers()[0]
selected_table = m.listTables()[0]

# Create FeatureSharingDraft
server_type = "HOSTING_SERVER"
sddraft = m.getWebLayerSharingDraft(server_type, "FEATURE", service_name, [selected_layer, selected_table])

# Create Service Definition Draft file
sddraft.exportToSDDraft(sddraft_output_filename)

# Stage Service
print("Start Staging")
arcpy.server.StageService(sddraft_output_filename, sd_output_filename)

# Share to portal
print("Start Uploading")
arcpy.server.UploadServiceDefinition(sd_output_filename, server_type)

print("Finish Publishing")

And this code actually works if I drag and drop the data from geodatabase into the project view and then run the publish code.

It doesn't work when I use

selected_layer = m.addDataFromPath(shape_in_gdb)

to do this step, which confused me.

Best,

Ziqing

@ZiqingYu

I'm assuming we used the same code sample and part of that sample has something like this in it:

#read draft file
docs = DOM.parse(sddraftpath)
key_list = docs.getElementsByTagName('Key')
value_list = docs.getElementsByTagName('Value')

#Sharing level
Share_Organization = "false"
Share_Everyone = "false"
Share_Group = "true"

#Sharing to Deed Notice Inspection Tool Group
GroupID = ""#set sharing values
for i in range(key_list.length):
    if key_list[i].firstChild.nodeValue == "PackageUnderMyOrg":
        value_list[i].firstChild.nodeValue = Share_Organization
    if key_list[i].firstChild.nodeValue == "PackageIsPublic":
        value_list[i].firstChild.nodeValue = Share_Everyone
    if key_list[i].firstChild.nodeValue == "PackageShareGroups":
        value_list[i].firstChild.nodeValue = Share_Group
    if Share_Group == "true" and key_list[i].firstChild.nodeValue == "PackageGroupIDs":
        value_list[i].firstChild.nodeValue = GroupID

#write to sddraftfile
f = open(sddraftpath, 'w')
docs.writexml(f)
f.close()

I have this same issue and I just discovered today that removing line 23-26 removes the error and allows it to publish. Hope this helps

To non German speaker: the error means: The chosen Layer hat no required layer-typ for web-feature-layer, object: map
