I'm attempting to test some access controls on an ArcGIS Enterprise instance by running a simple script that appends rows from a feature class into a hosted feature service. In order to ensure schema match, I took one feature class, and published it as a hosted feature service. Then I selected 4 or 5 rows from that same feature class, exported them to a new feature class, changed some things around in the attributes, saved, and then attempted to append those rows. I am not receiving any error from the following code, but none of the rows are updating the hosted feature service. from arcgis import GIS import arcpy import os url = 'url to my ArcGIS Enterprise instance' username = 'my username' pw = 'my pw' gis = GIS( url=url, username=username, password=pw, verify_cert=False) target_layer = gis.content.get('layer id').layers[0] print(target_layer) #succeeds #Data I need to append to the feature service layer fgdb = 'path/to/fgdb.gdb' append_layer = os.path.join(fgdb, 'append_features') target_layer.append(append_layer) print('Local layer appended to service successfully.') Again, no errors, but nothing committed. I read into the docs and it seems like I may not be able to append a feature class to the feature service directly - that is fine, I just ran a simple conversion to GeoJSON, editing lines 18-22 like so: fgdb = 'path/to/fgdb.gdb' append_layer = os.path.join(fgdb, 'append_features') outfile = 'path/to/outfile.geojson' append_feats = arcpy.conversion.FeaturesToJSON(append_layer, outfile, geoJSON='GEOJSON') target_layer.append(append_feats) This also succeeded in creating the .geojson file, and returned no errors, but again, no rows were actually committed to the target service layer. What am I doing wrong, and how do I ensure a meaningful error is reported when a hosted feature layer's .append() action fails?

@ShaunWalbridge Shaun, sorry but I just saw this - I don't get notified for replies for some reason - Anyway, I work in the federal space, and literally everything is accessed via client PKI certificates. This means that when I write up python toolboxes that integrate with external (non-Esri) web services, a smartcard, .pfx or .p12 bundle is always part of the authentication workflow. As requests_pkcs12 is sort of the de facto solution for dead simple management of PKCS12, I end up having to have users pip install requests_pkcs12 alongside the main arcgispro-py3 conda instance. So I would suggest the inverse of what you wrote: if the package is only one ~150 line file, why couldn't Esri just include it along with all of the other extensions to requests that you already include? Thanks for considering!

@Joshua-Young I never get notifications of replies, sorry 🙂 I would say that Esri would probably be averse to creating another product line... also RISC processors are wonderful at cpu intensive tasks.... different tasks though have different bottlenecks (memory, cpu, I/O) - in either case I think a full no kidding ArcGIS Pro instance for ARM64 only makes more sense as we move ahead, especially as mobile and desktop architectures begin to converge

As you can see, there are a number of requests package extensions that ship with arcpy. I have to often deal with client certificates in PKCS12 bundles (.p12 files) in something of an edge case for managing authentication to web services. requests_pkcs12 is a pure requests extension, well maintained, no problematic dependencies - it would fit easily right along side gssapi, kerberos and oauthlib. Such an effortless add, and would make my life so dramatically easier - please help!

@EarlMedina So, here's what I'm doing, with the default ArcGIS Pro python environment: from arcgis.features import FeatureSet, GeoAccessor from arcgis.gis import GIS import arcpy import os import pandas as pd # Connect conn = { "username": "myusername", "password": "mypassword", "portal_url": "https://my-enterprise-instance/portal"} gis = GIS(conn["portal_url"], conn["username"], conn["password"], verify_cert=False) # This works # Data pub_fgdb = 'Y:/ArcGIS/Projects/Upload_Test/Upload_Test.gdb' pub_lyr = os.path.join(pub_fgdb, 'topublish') pub_data = pd.DataFrame.spatial.from_featureclass(pub_lyr) # works pub_data.spatial.to_featurelayer('publish_test', folder='testings') # Yields "Job failed." @

Sorry for the basic question, but it seems like just about all of the publication examples on the ArcGIS API for Python docs presume that content is going to be published from a flat file sitting on a drive somewhere (e.g., here's a literal some-name.geojson file with 4 points from my camping trip that I want to publish to AGOL). The dynamic publishing workflows documented (e.g., spatial data frame to hosted feature layer) presume that Notebook Server is part of the equation. So, when I run a script meant to simply push a spatial data frame of a few points into ArcGIS Enterprise from VS Code or command line, it just throws up and says "Exception: Job failed." (I guess because it's not connecting with any authenticated session). So my question is: how do I go from dynamic, non-file based spatial content in memory (GeoJSON or spatial data frame) to a newly published hosted feature class on ArcGIS Enterprise, without using Notebook Server and without writing out a bunch of intermediate files?

@NDGraphics Awesome! Thanks for the update! Can't wait for this to drop

@RChin @RodneyChin Sorry for the incredibly late response, for some reason I didn't get an email on this and only caught up that you responded by chance. I would call your solution "partially implemented." No offense but that is a Bad Workflow. I cannot simply walk into my enterprise which is controlled by enterprise/configuration management boards and tell them to "turn on projected filesystem." Similarly I question the architectural wisdom of binding 3D outputs to the Windows 3D folder when nothing else in ArcGIS Pro has such a requirement. So I request that this be opened up again, as my Idea has to do with a specific functionality added to arcpy, not the ArcGIS Pro GUI. @NDGraphics Who is "we"? Does this feature carry a cost and a separate license? Will it be yet another acquisition action? We operate on systems that do not touch internet, so phoning home and so on for feature activation is not a realistic solution (which is why we wanted such a straightforward function just baked into 3D Analyst).

@NDGraphics if you need anyone to test that let me know! 🙂

UPDATE: @clt_cabq So, no this is not what we're looking for. Our ArcGIS Servers are federated in an Enterprise setup and no such controls exist for that. We have put in a feature request with Esri but I will leave this idea open just in case other users are interested in giving it a thumbs up.

‎03-06-2024

@clt_cabq Interesting, thanks for the tip! I will take a closer look at that. We do not set up Enterprise accounts (everything is via LDAP) but as long as we can demonstrate that there is some auth check (e.g., is there a session token) we should be able to open it up to all users.

‎03-06-2024

The current functionality: REST services directory is either on (publicly available) or off (disabled) in an ArcGIS Enterprise setup with federated ArcGIS Servers. The problem: We are in an organization where we have to disable access to any resources that do not require authentication. This means shutting off the REST services directory(ies) in an ArcGIS Enterprise. However we have developers and data scientists who would benefit from access to this directory. The solution: place the REST services directory(ies) that are part of an Enterprise behind the same authentication regime set in the Portal. If this is already possible to configure, please let me know - as I am operating under the assumption that this is not currently possible.

@KiwiBird97 Not sure what to tell you - I am on a MBP using Parallels (Windows 11 Arm64), and I think Rosetta (Apple's underlying Arm64/x64 compatibility layer) is basically emulating everything. However, if you have an Arm64 system that does not support any x64 emulation, I guess it makes sense that the x64 .NET runtimes would not be loaded or run properly.

I'm a newbie to the Portal API for Python, and I am just trying to figure out how to go from geojson loaded into memory (say, a WFS response object) to a feature layer on an ArcGIS Enterprise portal. I'm happy to read documentation and follow examples, but everything I've seen involves messing around with CSVs and pandas (which then requires cleaning up field headings etc). Additionally all the questions seem to presuppose you have a geojson file sitting around, but what about when you want to avoid the IO overhead? Seems silly to write the content out to a file, only to read it right back in again. Is there a more-or-less direct path to go from the data in the buffer, in json format, right to a new feature layer?

My Ideas

Append reports success, but no rows appended to hosted feature service.
