Can arcpy publish / update web scene layer with associated feature layer (and service definition layer) ?

Question

So after many attempts of trying with arcpy what is straightforward to do with ArcGIS Pro GUI: share a 3D Scene's Feature Layer (containing 3DObjects or Multipatch) as an AGOL scene layer with associated feature layer (and of course service definition) would like to know what are the current workflows. In the GUI is simply right click in the contents pane, in the feature layer > share > as web layer (it generates the correspondent feature, scene and service definition) Have tried this although either with arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject(str_prjflPath).listMaps()[0].getWebLayerSharingDraft and with the deprecated arcpy.mp.CreateWebLayerSDDraft it only publishes Feature Layers (and not the associated scene layer, as the ArcGIS Pro "Share to Web Layer" does): Basically adapted the last part of the code here: Automate overwrite web layer, feature class with upload of service definition, and the special use case of publishing a feature layer with associated scene layer. import arcpy import os, sys ### Start setting variables # Set the path to the project prjPath = r"D: esting#2 ests2.aprx" # Update the following variables to match: # Feature service/SD name in arcgis.com, user/password of the owner account sd_fs_name = "MyPublicMap" portal = "http://www.arcgis.com" # Can also reference a local portal user = "username" password = "password" # Set sharing options shrOrg = False shrEveryone = False shrGroups = "" ### End setting variables # Local paths to create temporary content relPath = os.path.dirname(prjPath) sddraft = os.path.join(relPath, "WebUpdate.sddraft") sd = os.path.join(relPath, "WebUpdate.sd") # Create a new SDDraft and stage to SD print("Creating SD file") arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True prj = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject(prjPath) mp = prj.listMaps()[1] arcpy.mp.CreateWebLayerSDDraft(mp, sddraft, sd_fs_name, 'MY_HOSTED_SERVICES', 'FEATURE_ACCESS','', True, True) arcpy.StageService_server(sddraft, sd) arcpy.UploadServiceDefinition_server( in_sd_file=sd, in_server="My Hosted Services", #in_service_name #already specified in service definition #in_cluster #in_folder_type #already specified in service definition #in_folder #already specified in service definition in_startupType='STARTED', #sharing configurations overriding default (only owner level access) in_override='OVERRIDE_DEFINITION', #default False in_my_contents='SHARE_ONLINE', #default 'SHARE_ONLINE' make it accessible from All My Content in_public='PRIVATE', #default PRIVATE do not make it shared with everyone in_organization='NO_SHARE_ORGANIZATION', #default 'NO_SHARE_ORGANIZATION' in_groups='' #default '', for multiple use string list of groups for example )‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Now using the more recent getWebLayerSharingDraft method of arcgis pro map object. Functionality: * Create an ArcGIS Pro map python object with arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject(''). * Create the desired arcgis pro map layers list object using .listMaps() method of arcgis pro project python object, and .listLayers method of arcgispro map python object. * Arcpy Sign in to either AGOL or ArcGIS Enterprise Portal (access and credentials) * Create a sharing draft python object and set service properties. * Create a Service definition draft (.sddraft file) using .exportToSDDraft('). method of sharing draft object. * Create a service definition (.sd file) with arcpy's .StageService_server() method representing the Stage tool which analyses drafts for suitability and sources of potential performance issues. * Finally, upload the service definition to AGOL or ArcGIS Enterprise portal as a GIS service with arcpy's .UploadServiceDefinition_server() method representing the Upload Service Definition tool. Independently of asynchronous tasks like upload service being done which can be made in multiprocessing as recomendation algorithm waits for objects to complete e.g. upload service for continue basics.

It currently is not possible with Arcpy alone (can also be done with AGOL).

With ArcGIS Pro 3.4, you can automate sharing web scene layers with associated feature layers in Python. For more information, see this blog article and SceneLayerSharingDraft.
