How copy map service from one ArcGIS server to another ArcGIS server

Rakibul_IslamRoni

Hi, I need to copy Map service which is created in ArcGIS server 10.1 (sp1), to another ArcGIS server (10.1 sp1) machine. I am trying to do this process manually by copying service file from C:\arcgisserver\config-store\services and C:\arcgisserver\directories\arcgiscache and *.JSON files. Service can read by new machine but cannot start the service. So please give a direction that how can i do this work.

Dont know why it is in ArcGIS online but we managed to "transfer-copy" services from one machine to another with ArcGIS Server 10.1sp1.

You must keep the same name for the folder.

You will have to copy all the ressources from server A to server B. The best is to check all folders and subfolders in arcgisserver folder.
In our case we had to copy from
\arcgisserver\config-store\services
\arcgisserver\directories\arcgiscache
\arcgisserver\directories\arcgisoutput
\arcgisserver\directories\arcgissystem\arcgisinput

I've never gotten this to work and don't know if it's possible. I'd suggest you move the cache, copy the mxd over to the new server, and publish a service with the same name as the cache folder. It'll pick up that it's supposed to be cached.

Just solved us several hours of migration time.

Thanks,

If you find you have to make edits to the service such as a data connection, here is an article on editing the .MSD.

Best,

I am with J.Quinn and roni0512 on this one. I have copied all of the ArcGIS directories noted below plus accompanying .mxds from server A to B. The services are read on server B but are not able to be started. In ArcCatalog I get the error message:

ERROR: Service failed to start,
 Machine: myServer.COM [null]

In ArcGIS (AGS) Server Manager, there are even thumbnails of the services but the start button is grayed out at Status reads "Stopping..."
I then restarted ArcGIS Server in IIS, and Status still reads "Stopping..."

I did NOT copy .site from the directories listed below.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
update: I repeated the process, this time stopping AGS in IIS first, then copied all of the directories plus .site and my services show up again, this time status is "Started" and all of the service URL's are there as REST endpoints but pinging the URL you get the error:

Error: Error handling service request : 0x80070005 -
Code: 500

When trying to add a service to ArcMap I get the Warning:
Could not add the specified data object to the map.
Could not connect to the Map Server.

Also we developped some tool to do that in a more automatic way :

GitHub - eea/discomap.ServiceTransferTool: Transfer tool

Sebastien,

Will your transfer tool work with two different versions of server? I would like to move services on 10.1 to a new 10.3.1 server.

SebastienPetit

Yes.

We did several test (not these exact versions) and it was working

Edit #2: I got it to work. See my summary information at the end.

Hi Sebastien,

This thread is about 8 months old now, but thought I would see if you monitor it at all. I downloaded the ServiceTransferTool from github and was trying to see if I could go from an AGS 10.2.2 machine to AGS 10.4.1....but have tried running both in Desktop 10.4.1 (on server) and my local Desktop 10.3.1. I had to comment out the import of pymssql and the writeinDatabase function, but that looked like it was something more internal to eea, so I don't think that matters.

However, I am getting an error

My arcgisserver service directories are on the D drive, so it seems to be getting that info, but it should probably b "d:\\" ...not error is not showing the ":". I've been trying to work backwards to see where this is being pulled from, but haven't found it yet. Although I have a utility that looks at the config.json file for this info, so maybe this is doing the same (and I just haven't found that yet).

The attributes I am entering:

my input includes:

<sourceServer> 6080 <admin> <adminpass> MapServer <checked services, public ones> <targetServer> 6080 <admin> <adminpass> <blank> \\<targetServer>\<shareToD>\<newfoldername1> OverwriteIsChecked \\<targetServer>\<shareToD>\<newfoldername2>

for the systemTemp and backupTemp I am putting in "\\<targetserver>\<shareToD>\<foldername>" ..I was putting this as the target server.....it is support to be the source?

Questions:

where would it have pulled that my files are on the "D" drive (it is not included in any of the input attributes), is it pulling it from the arcgis settings, or is it just assuming "D" (hardcoded somewhere I haven't found yet??)?
Is is ok that I do not use the pymssql module?
What folders should I copy to the new server before running....are there any requirements? I did copy over the \arcgisserver\directories\arcgisssystem\arcgisinput folder

....I notice that my mxd is not in the root of the service, but in a subfolder \extracted\v101 ..maybe that is a remanent from the 10.1->10.2.x migration ??

For what it is doing, I do not think the error has anything to do with 10.4.x

If you have any insight I would appreciate it. It looks like a useful tool if I can get it to work for our site.

Thanks for any help.

*******************************

Edit: getting closer. I had to change a few lines to have it take my server name in the path to the services .mxd location...still need to work on that to make it more automatic, but it does find the mxd now. If running on a 10.3.1 again the target 10.4.1, it would crash I'm assuming because it doesn't like the versions being different. So running in Desktop 10.4.1 on the target server...with about 5 patches, including the publishing patch.....I can get to Step 4 but the service will not publish (although it thinks it was successful, per a message. I need to go investigate this next.

This is the new error I am getting:

SUMMARY (Resolved)

Wanted to give a summary of what I did to get this to work. I tested on a 10.4.1 AGS server, pulling from a 10.2.1 AGS server.

Downloaded the software from GitHub - eea/discomap.ServiceTransferTool: Transfer tool unzipped to known folder
Tested and ran in ArcCatalog 10.4.1 which was compatible with my target AGS version.
Made sure my data sources were copies over....not sure if this was needed or if the tool would do it, but thought it better to just do it.
Modified using TransferServices.py to fit my needs:
1. Commented out line #9 import pymssql and the function writeInDatabase approximately lines 532-547
2. traced variable "finalServiceName" backwards to "serviceName" and "inputFolderPath" and eventually back to "pathInitial" which was the actual start of my "can't find the mxd" issue (about line 589). I add a few more formatiing lines (and print statements) to get the mxd to read from the source server's d$ drive in the <service>\extracted\v101 folder. This is how all our services on the 10.2.1 machine are set up. Whether this is a standard path or because we've updated thru several versions, I do not know.
Initially I thought I wanted to copy the \arcgisserver\directories\arcgissystem\arcgisinput over from the 10.2.1 machine. But this was not needed and might have been causing an issue. I reset (that is, restored my backup of this folder) and then restarted the ArcGIS Server (I hadn't done that thru the previous steps).

After all that, my 4 "public" test services (have not tested secure services yet) worked.

Only other issue, which is an internal things, as I was getting ssl certificate errors/warnings. I just closed the popup and it continued. This is a self-signed cert, with "10dot" addresses...that is, something that network services has for our internal servers. I've given up on trying to have them get rid of the error, since things work for my test environment (just annoying).

Hope this helps someone down the line. My procedures my not work specifically but may help with debugging. Have fun.

Hello Rebecca, I am happy to note that you actually got this tool to work at your end. I am currently trying to use the tool to copy some bunch of map services from my existing ArcGIS Server 10.4 to a new ArcGIS Server 10.4 but I keep getting this error

Directory not copied. Error: [Error 3] The system cannot find the path specified: u'E\\arcgisserver\\directories\\arcgissystem\\arcgisinput\\NaturalResources\\MS4_Map_SupportingLayers_Public_Viewer_Natural_Resources.MapServer\\*.*'
Service MXD not found.

I don't understand why it is displaying the 'drive E' without the colon. Is this right?.

These are the paths I specified for the system sysTemp field

E:\arcgisserver\directories\arcgissystem\arcgisinput\sysTemp

for the backupTemp

E:\arcgisserver\directories\arcgissystem\arcgisinput\backup

Both 'sysTemp' and 'backup' folders were created in my new ArcGIS 10.4 Server which is the destination server. I didn't fill anything in the 'Destination_Folder' field

I have tried to follow all the steps you stipulated above unfortunately I'm still not able to get it to run successfully. Please can you explain more details of what exactly you did to get the tool to work for you.

I have over 280 map services I need to copy and would really be happy if this tool could work for me. That would make life much easier for me.

thanks

Hi Irene,

I was getting the same error, and I used arcpy.AddMessage or print statements to print out the variables and the approximate line number in my code (to I could find it easily). For my use, I used the V101 folder to grab my .mxd. I've included a snip of the code with my comments. I did several other changes after I resolved this, like read my admin credentials from an ini file vs hardcoding them, so my record numbers in my comments might be off.

...oops, need to open this in another browser tab to post my code...

Remember, the line numbers in the AddMessage statements won't match yours, but I suggest adding a few like this if you still need to trace things back. I left them in my code although, once fixed, I commented them out.

Hope this helps.

Thank you so much Rebecca, I did some modifications following the steps you described above, when I ran the script, it is able to copy over some of the map services and not able to copy some. It reported the error below which i believe could be specific to the individual map service. For these specific map services it is not able to analyze the service definition drafts and I am currently looking into this issue. Did you get similar error in yours?

Service could not be published because errors were found during analysis

Thank you very much

RebeccaStrauch__GISP

Irene Egbulefu I edited your last response so it didn't include my previous response, quoted, twice. But it doesn't look like your error message got pasted. you may want to try again. oh, never mind...the green was the error message.

I do not have anywhere the number of services you have to move over, but it won't surprise me if all mine do not come over cleanly either. Keep in mind that I made sure my data was copied over to the new server, if needed, and made sure all my data links were also set up exactly the same, that is,same names. My guess is that is there is anything that is "broken" in the source service, it will have issues copying over.

It looks like it's writing the errors to a text file:

...

You can add what's stored in the content variable to the AddWarning message:

&nbsp; if analyseDraft['errors'] == "NO":
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

This way, it prints the message but also writes to the file created by the createTxtFile function, (whatever the "workspace" variable is defined to, which appears to be the sysTemp folder path).

Below are ESRI recommendations for migrating services between two machines (it will work in either same AGS version or different version)

Your services from the old ArcGIS Server installation can be published programmatically to the new ArcGIS Server instance in a 2-step process
- 1. Run a script to create service definition (SD) files for each of the MXDs contained in your old content directory.
  - The following script can be modified to use only the part that creates the SD file and also make the process iterative to loop through each MXD in your directory: http://server.arcgis.com/en/server/latest/administer/windows/example-publish-a-map-service-from-a-map-document-mxd-.htm
- 2. Run the following script to loop through the SD files created from step 1 and publish them to the new ArcGIS Server location
  - http://server.arcgis.com/en/server/latest/administer/windows/example-publish-various-service-types-using-service-definitions.htm#

Commented on a different post on this, I'll provide a link here:

We are working in package to automate the copy of services between ArcGIS Servers. The package and some scripts are available here GitHub - jbelo-pro/arcser-admin: ArcGis administration

So far this just support Map Services and Geocode Services

Sorry to bring up an older thread but I've been trying to get this script / tool to work as we migrate to three new ArcGIS Server VMs. I made many of the updates you recommended, but am a little stumped as to why this script is still failing on our side. When I run the tool, it fails with the following directories and locations identified. I'm attempting to migrate (in this example just one service) from our old server (southerly) to our new Dev Server (DEQ-GIS-DEV) and it's failing with Service MXD not found error as seen below:

I don't understand why the script seems be looking at the \\DEQ-GIS-DEV\C$\arcgisserver\directories\arcgissystem\arcgisinput\sysTemp\2019917_14617_southerly_DEQ-GIS-DEV\ directory in the temp for the .mxd... or perhaps why it failed to find and copy it to begin with where the .mxd exists on the origin server at (for this service): C:\arcgisserver\directories\arcgissystem\arcgisinput\public\2018_adb_anyuse.MapServer\extracted\v101\fnal_2018_adb_anyuse.mxd but when I check sysTemp on the new server- sure enough public\ is empty.

So I'm a little stumped as to why the script seems to be having issues locating the source .mxd. The syntax in the python script seems to be here to look for the .mxd:

#If the data copied ok
if continuePublish == True:
   mxdExist = False
   #Check for MXD
   for root, dirs, files in os.walk(pathInitial):
         for file in files:
                  if file.endswith(".mxd"):
                  mxdFile = os.path.join(root, file)
                  mxdExist = True
                  break;

Anyone have any thoughts or luck on this? Thanks for any help you can provide!

If you are using ArcGIS Server 10.6 or 10.7 this simple option might work for you as it did work for me recently.

I needed to move our maps services from ArcGIS 10.6 single server to ArcGIS 10.7 federated with Portal.. The script posted here did not work for me, though it worked perfectly well when i was moving from 10.5.1 standalone server environment to 10.6.1 standalone server environment.

If you are getting a Network Error, Just check the ports of the servers. I did experience that error when i was working with the stand alone server , if the ports are incorrect, you will get that error

So in my new situation what i did was to simply upgrade the ArcGIS 10.6.2 standalone server to ArcGIS 10.7, so i now have both servers running the same ArcGIS Server version which is 10.7. Then to move the map services across, I use the export and import tools in the Admin server and it worked very easily for me.

I do not know the ArcGIS Server environment you are working with but it is good to note that the script we are discussing above works only for Standalone server environment and cannot work for a federated server environment
