Clone non-hosted feature services between development and production portals

Question

Hi,

I'm exploring the glorious ArcGIS Python API and am trying to think how I can clone WebMaps and Web Apps from test to production portal.

the guide here Cloning Content | ArcGIS for Developers  is extremely good but is more based on having hosted-feature services feeding the web map, rather than traditional feature services published from a registered data store.

Has anyone got any ideas or experience of this?

Thanks!

Sorry for necro posting but the title here matches my question exactly. The links here seem to be invalid, 5 years after the original posting, so if anyone has suggestions for more recent items please reply.

Hi Andres Castillo‌ I'm finally back round to this again.
I've been trying fruitlessly to get the code here https://community.esri.com/docs/DOC-13762-copy-content-between-portals  to work, the zip has the python file but the toolbox is empty for me.  I've changed all the parameters back to hardcoded but there's no comments on the syntax etc of the parameters - which is where I think i'm going wrong.

All the modules are imported correctly I believe (after fun setting up a 3.7 environment as 3.8 wasn't supported..)

this is for the CopyMapsApps script:

the code runs, grabs a token for each portal but then has no completion messages and finally exits with 'deleting connections'

I'm not sure what the param 'content' is meant to be, and may be wrong on 'targetOwner' and 'targetFolder'.

This is a major headache so if you had a copy of your code (minus login details etc of course 
) or any insights you would make my week!

It is certainly manageable using AGO assistant, but even better once scripted.
