Defining sharing options in the service definition draft

Question

Hello,

I want to publish a Map Image Service on ArcGIS Enterprise 10.8.1 with arcpy in ArcGIS Pro using arcpy.MapImageSharingDraft. By adapting the Modify SDDraft example 3 I parsed the Map Image Service sddraft to enable the WMS option.

The next stept would be staging and publishing but an error appears when staging: Error 00297 because WMS layer has to be shared with everyone.

Is there a way to define the sharing option before staging the sddraft like setting an option in the sddraft itself? I wasn't able to find a line which adresses this issue.

Regards

Michael

A slight change to group sharing in above code solved the issue for me

if SharetoGroup == "true" and key_list[i].firstChild.nodeValue == "PackageGroupIDs":
    if value_list[i].firstChild == None:
        text_node = docs.createTextNode(GroupID)
        value_list[i].appendChild(text_node)

Without the above code it was giving the "'NoneType' object has no attribute " error

To expand on @jotaefe_1980 's instruction, here's an example of how to set the sharing settings in the .sddraft file:

# Read the .sddraft file
docs = DOM.parse(sddraft_output_filename)
key_list = docs.getElementsByTagName('Key')
value_list = docs.getElementsByTagName('Value')

# Change following to "true" to share
SharetoOrganization = "false"
SharetoEveryone = "true"
SharetoGroup = "false"
# If SharetoGroup is set to "true", uncomment line below and provide group IDs
GroupID = ""    # GroupID = "f07fab920d71339cb7b1291e3059b7a8, e0fb8fff410b1d7bae1992700567f54a"

# Each key has a corresponding value. In all the cases, value of key_list[i] is value_list[i].
for i in range(key_list.length):
    if key_list[i].firstChild.nodeValue == "PackageUnderMyOrg":
        value_list[i].firstChild.nodeValue = SharetoOrganization
    if key_list[i].firstChild.nodeValue == "PackageIsPublic":
        value_list[i].firstChild.nodeValue = SharetoEveryone
    if key_list[i].firstChild.nodeValue == "PackageShareGroups":
        value_list[i].firstChild.nodeValue = SharetoGroup
    if SharetoGroup == "true" and key_list[i].firstChild.nodeValue == "PackageGroupIDs":
        value_list[i].firstChild.nodeValue = GroupID

# Write to the .sddraft file
f = open(sddraft_output_filename, 'w')
docs.writexml(f)
f.close()

Hi, you can define the sharing option before staging the sddraft like setting an option in the sddraft itself.

In the XML : SVCManifest > StagingSettings > PropertyArray and go to the PropertySetProperty node defined by the key Node name "PackageIsPublic": set true to the Value node

Best reg.
