How to publish a feature service to ArcGIS Online from an mxd USING PYTHON?

BenoitMetzger

Hi All,

I would like to automate publishing feature services - from an mxd using Python to my AG Online account.

I did this successfully manually using the menu: Share as -> Service, Publish a service - Feature Access Capabilities etc...

Using Python, I managed to publish the service definition file on AG Online using:
arcpy.mapping.CreateMapSDDraft()
arcpy.mapping.AnalyzeForSD()
arcpy.StageService_server()
arcpy.UploadServiceDefinition_server()

But I could not find a way to publish a feature service to AG Online! I must be missing something. Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

The following code will publish a hosted feature service. Change the following:

- Line 5, the workspace
- Line 11, the name you want to give the service
- Line 58, the username and password to your AGO account

import arcpy import xml.dom.minidom as DOM  import os  workspace = 'C:/Temp/hosted publishing/'  # Reference map document for CreateSDDraft function. mapDoc = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(r'C:\Temp\betty4.mxd') # Create service and sddraft variables for CreateSDDraft function. sddraft = workspace + 'HostedMS.sddraft' service = 'FeatureService' arcpy.mapping.CreateMapSDDraft(mapDoc, sddraft, service, 'MY_HOSTED_SERVICES', summary="test", tags='test') con = 'My Hosted Services' sd = workspace + service + '.sd'  doc = DOM.parse(sddraft)  # Read the sddraft xml. doc = DOM.parse(sddraft) # Change service from map service to feature service typeNames = doc.getElementsByTagName('TypeName') for typeName in typeNames:     # Get the TypeName we want to disable.     if typeName.firstChild.data == "MapServer":      typeName.firstChild.data = "FeatureServer"  #Turn off caching configProps = doc.getElementsByTagName('ConfigurationProperties')[0] propArray = configProps.firstChild propSets = propArray.childNodes for propSet in propSets:     keyValues = propSet.childNodes     for keyValue in keyValues:         if keyValue.tagName == 'Key':             if keyValue.firstChild.data == "isCached":                 # turn on caching                 keyValue.nextSibling.firstChild.data = "false"  #Turn on feature access capabilities configProps = doc.getElementsByTagName('Info')[0] propArray = configProps.firstChild propSets = propArray.childNodes for propSet in propSets:     keyValues = propSet.childNodes     for keyValue in keyValues:         if keyValue.tagName == 'Key':             if keyValue.firstChild.data == "WebCapabilities":                 # turn on caching                 keyValue.nextSibling.firstChild.data = "Query,Create,Update,Delete,Uploads,Editing"  outXml = workspace + 'HostedMSNew.sddraft'  f = open(outXml, 'w')      doc.writexml( f )      f.close() analysis = arcpy.mapping.AnalyzeForSD(outXml) #print analysis #arcpy.SignOutFromPortal_server() arcpy.SignInToPortal_server("username","password","http://www.arcgis.com/") arcpy.StageService_server(outXml, sd) arcpy.UploadServiceDefinition_server(sd, con)

One more issue for AGO is the "Max records return by server". It worked if publish files manually to change the number of the max return results, it default by 1000 btw, my record are way over 1000, I need to change the parameter every time when I publish. The python script works perfectly in my end on 10.1 without changing the max return results parameter, 10.2 had the overwrite issue, so I am going to keep using 10.1 to automate publish process.

I wonder Robert or anyone have any ideas to custom the max return result in python script as well?

Appreciated!

You could probably script something through the server admin page.
http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/94744-Is-it-possible-to-change-the-Max-Record-Count-on-an-AGOL-hosted-Feature-service

Please note the warning that you can damage your service as much as you can improve it.

Also, the limit is on features in a request, not the map. If editing is disabled in the Feature Service or web map, you will see multiple requests made. If 4 requests are made, and you have 2000 max record count, you could potentially have 8000 features returned.

Thanks,

Can you provide the script to change the enable editor tracking to true "enableEditorTracking" : true?

Thank you for any response.

Pretty sure this will enable attachments, it works for me. Update variables at the bottom.
You can switch TRUE to FALSE to disable attachments.

import json, urllib, urllib2

def gentoken(username, password, referer, expiration=60):
    #Re-usable function to get a token required for Admin changes
    referer = "http://www.arcgis.com/"
    
    query_dict = {'username': username,
                  'password': password,
                  'expiration': str(expiration),
                  'client': 'referer',
                  'referer': referer,
                  'f': 'json'}    
    
    query_string = urllib.urlencode(query_dict)
    tokenUrl = "https://www.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/generateToken"
    
    tokenResponse = urllib.urlopen(tokenUrl, urllib.urlencode(query_dict))   
    token = json.loads(tokenResponse.read())
        
    if "token" not in token:
        print token['messages']
        import sys
        sys.exit()
    else:
        # Return the token to the function which called for it
        return token['token']
    
def enableAttachment(token, fsURL):
    
    query_dict = {'updateDefinition': "{'hasAttachments':true}",   #false         
                  'f': 'json',
                  'token': token}    
    
    query_string = urllib.urlencode(query_dict)   
    
    attachResponse = urllib.urlopen(fsURL, urllib.urlencode(query_dict))   
    msg = json.loads(attachResponse.read())
    print msg 
    
    return


USERNAME = " ______  "
PASSWORD = " ______  "
REFFER = "http://www.arcgis.com"

fsURL = "http://services1.arcgis.com/<ORGANIZATION IDENTFIER/arcgis/admin/services/<SERVICE NAME>.FeatureServer/0/updateDefinition"
# for example, a link may look like:
#http://services1.arcgis.com/4safsf2dgg32daf3/arcgis/admin/services/MyService.FeatureServer/0/updateDefinition

token = gentoken(USERNAME, PASSWORD, REFFER)
enableAttachment(token, fsURL)

Just for anyone else who comes upon this thread...
Jeff and I posted a blog with the python script to:
-CreateMapSDDraft, Analyze, Stage and Upload for map documents to be pushed to ArcGIS.com as a hosted feature service /w overwrite and shared to arcgis.com turned on.

http://blogs.esri.com/esri/arcgis/2013/04/23/updating-arcgis-com-hosted-feature-services-with-python/

Kevin and Jeff - Thanks much for the blog post.

When attempting to run this python script I have encountered an error. "ERROR 001269: Compressing the service definition failed. Failed to execute (StageService)." (image attached)

Any ideas as to what is causing this error?

Thanks,

Kevin

The compressing error is from when trying to make the .SD file.
I think theres a few things that could cause it.
A couple guesses:
--do you have any locks on the data you're consolidating, or are they accessed by something else? (not allowing them to be put into the sd file)
--you have write access to the directory you're trying to create the .sd in?
--from your screen shot you're executing against 64bit python, but the trace back shows its in 32bit python. Not sure how/why they're crossed. Try running your script from the 32bit Python (note the lack of 'x64' in the path for 32bit).

KevinBingham

Kevin-

-- I do not think that there are any locks on the data I am consolidating

-- I do have write access to the directory where I am trying to update that .SD file

-- Previously I tried to execute the script from 32 bit python but received the error "c:\Python27\ArcGIS10.2\python.exe is not a valid Win32 application."

Thanks again,

Kevin

I made it past the last error only to encounter another error related to publishing. An image (with the error message) is attached.

Thanks,

Hello

This thread has been so helpful, and i would like to thank all of you in advance for all the information. I am facing similar situation as the original problem. This thread is three year old but i was wondering if there is any solution.

I have ARC 10.3 in my desktop . I am trying to publish mxd file automatically using python script , i used similar code posted in this thread. But it is showing error , unless i signed in manually through the ARCmap it wont publish the map. The error is as follows

ExecuteError: Failed to execute. Parameters are not valid.
ERROR 000732: Server: Dataset My Hosted Services does not exist or is not supported
WARNING 001404: You are not signed in to ArcGIS Online.
Failed to execute (UploadServiceDefinition).

Can you please post is as a file or text with line breaks included?

To modify the sddraft file and enable feature capability, the following code worked for me

# Read the sddraft xml.
doc = DOM.parse(sddraft_output_filename)
# Find all elements named TypeName. This is where the server object extension
# (SOE) names are defined.
typeNames = doc.getElementsByTagName('TypeName')
for typeName in typeNames:
    # Get the TypeName we want to enable.
    if typeName.firstChild.data == "FeatureServer":
        extension = typeName.parentNode
        for extElement in extension.childNodes:
            # Enable Feature Access.
            if extElement.tagName == 'Enabled':
                extElement.firstChild.data = 'true'
            if extElement.tagName == 'Info':
                for propArray in extElement.childNodes:
                    if propArray.tagName == 'PropertyArray':
                        for propSet in propArray.childNodes:
                            for prop1 in propSet.childNodes:
                                if prop1.tagName == "Key":
                                    if prop1.firstChild.data == 'WebCapabilities':
                                        # Turn on feature access capabilities
                                        if prop1.nextSibling.hasChildNodes():
                                            prop1.nextSibling.firstChild.data = "Map,Query,Data"
                                        else:
                                            txt = doc.createTextNode("Map,Query,Data")
                                            prop1.nextSibling.appendChild(txt)
# Output to a new sddraft.
sddraft_mod_xml = 'sddraft_output_mod_xml' + '.sddraft'
sddraft_mod_xml_file = os.path.join(draftsOutputDir, sddraft_mod_xml)
f = open(sddraft_mod_xml_file, 'w')
doc.writexml(f)
f.close()
