Has anyone resolved this issue or determined there is an open bug with ESRI ? It's February 2024 and it still persists - I'm unable to replace a vector tile layer from either the API using python or even directly from using the Replace Layer tool on the Details page of the vector tile layer on portal. ...

I fixed up this script so it can be run autonomously from a CI tool. The script will connect to a Pro Project and look for a map that contains the feature layers to be overwritten. All the feature layers contained in this map and their service definitions must have already been published initially and hosted on AGOL. The script disables sync and unregisters replicas before overwriting the service definition file and existing feature service. The feature layers in the map may be grouped or ungrouped. Grouped layers will be published as a single feature service, same as the ungrouped layers. All service properties (sync, sharing, editing etc.) will remain the same as they originally were. The layer names in the Pro map must match the published feature layer names, so make sure the map is setup correctly in Pro.  Thanks to Jake Skinner for getting this started in the right direction.   import arcpy, os, time from arcgis.gis import GIS from arcgis.features import FeatureLayerCollection # Variables prjPath = r"C:\PathToProProject\ProProject.aprx" # Path to Pro Project map_name = 'Test Map Overwrite' # Name of map in Pro Project portal = "https://www.arcgis.com" # AGOL user = "username" # AGOL username password = "password" # AGOL password unregisterReplicas = True # True/False to unregister existing replicas group_layer_names = [] ungrouped_layer_names = [] # Set Environment Variables arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = 1 # Start Timer startTime = time.time() print(f"Connecting to AGOL") gis = GIS(portal, user, password) project = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject(prjPath) # Get the map in the project map_obj = project.listMaps(map_name)[0] # Iterate through all layers in the map and list the grouped layer names for layer in map_obj.listLayers(): if layer.isGroupLayer: group_layer_names.append(layer.name) print (f"Grouped layer names: {group_layer_names}") # Iterate through all layers in the map and list the ungrouped layer names for layer in map_obj.listLayers(): if not layer.isGroupLayer: # Check if the layer is part of any group layer is_in_group = False for parent_layer in map_obj.listLayers(): if parent_layer.isGroupLayer and layer in parent_layer.listLayers(): is_in_group = True break if not is_in_group: ungrouped_layer_names.append(layer.name) print (f"Ungrouped layer names: {ungrouped_layer_names}") layer_list = ungrouped_layer_names + group_layer_names print (f"Layers to be republished: {layer_list}") # Loop through all the layers and get the feature layer and service definition ID's for layer_name in layer_list: # Filter the feature layers for an exact match and get the feature layer ID fl_search_results = gis.content.search(query=f"title:{layer_name}", item_type="Feature Layer", sort_field='title', sort_order='asc') fl_item = None # Iterate through the search results to find the exact match for item in fl_search_results: if item.title == layer_name: fl_item = item break if fl_item: print(f"Found exact match for feature layer: {fl_item.title} (ID: {fl_item.id})") else: print(f"No exact match found for feature layer: {layer_name}") # Filter the service definitions for an exact match and get the service definition ID sd_search_results = gis.content.search(query=f"title:{layer_name}", item_type="Service Definition", sort_field='title', sort_order='asc') sd_item = None # Iterate through the search results to find the exact match for item in sd_search_results: if item.title == layer_name: sd_item = item break if sd_item: print(f"Found exact match for service definition: {sd_item.title} (ID: {sd_item.id})") else: print(f"No exact match found for service definition: {layer_name}") # Local paths to create temporary content sddraft = os.path.join(arcpy.env.scratchFolder, "WebUpdate.sddraft") sd = os.path.join(arcpy.env.scratchFolder, "WebUpdate.sd") sdItem = gis.content.get(sd_item.id) #print (sdItem) # Create a new SDDraft and stage to SD print("Creating SD file") arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True prj = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject(prjPath) mp = prj.listMaps(map_name)[0] serviceDefName = sdItem.title arcpy.mp.CreateWebLayerSDDraft(mp, sddraft, serviceDefName, 'MY_HOSTED_SERVICES', 'FEATURE_ACCESS', '', True, True) arcpy.StageService_server(sddraft, sd) # Reference existing feature service to get properties fsItem = gis.content.get(fl_item.id) #print (fsItem) flyrCollection = FeatureLayerCollection.fromitem(fsItem) existingDef = flyrCollection.properties # Unregister existing replicas if unregisterReplicas: if flyrCollection.properties.syncEnabled: print("Unregister existing replicas") for replica in flyrCollection.replicas.get_list(): replicaID = replica['replicaID'] flyrCollection.replicas.unregister(replicaID) # Overwrite feature service sdItem.update(data=sd) print("Overwriting existing feature service") fs = sdItem.publish(overwrite=True) # Update service with previous properties print("Updating service properties") flyrCollection.manager.update_definition(existingDef) print("Clearing scratch directory") arcpy.env.workspace = arcpy.env.scratchFolder for file in arcpy.ListFiles(): if file.split(".")[-1] in ('sd', 'sddraft', 'png', 'xml'): arcpy.Delete_management(file) endTime = time.time() elapsedTime = round((endTime - startTime) / 60, 2) print(f"Script completed in {elapsedTime} minutes")       ...

A single service can have multiple layers, so this would not work in that scenario. True - but for the sake of reaping the benefits of using an automated publishing process like this, I'd make sure each layer in the map was published separately as a single service. This would be a special map only used for this purpose. The script will be run daily from a CI tool like Jenkins, so it needs to run completely autonomously on multiple layers. ... View more

HI Jake - thanks so much that script works great! Pretty much does what I want to do, but I do have some suggestions that I think would make it even better if possible! Ideally this script would loop through a list of all the layers the map and republish each one of them. The values for the variables named serviceDefID and featureServiceID could be derived automatically from the existing hosted services by matching up the layer names in the Pro map with existing published service names (assuming that the map layer names must match the published feature service names for this to work).  Since the real value here is to automate publishing, editing the script each time to change those variables and run it one at a time for each layer is probably going to take more time than just overwriting them manually. Of course you could create multiple scripts with different variables for each layer then run them all, but that's not ideal either. In a perfect world, you would have a Pro project with map that included all the layers to be overwritten and the script would process each of those layers without any intervention.  The other thing is I would only update the Sharing properties if the value of  shrGroups is not null. If it is null, then just leave the existing sharing properties intact. ... View more

Would be great if someone could modify this script to include disable sync and unregister replicas before publishing takes place. I actually have attached a script that does this (attached) ... but not sure how/where to add it into the existing code example for automated publishing.   from arcgis.gis import GIS from arcgis.features import FeatureLayerCollection from arcgis.features import FeatureLayer import requests # Connect to your ArcGIS Online organization gis = GIS("https://www.arcgis.com","username","password") token = gis._con.token #Hosted feature layer names to disable sync and unregister all replicas search_queries = ["Test Layer1", "Test Layer2"] # Create an empty list to store the item IDs item_ids = [] # Loop through each search query and get the corresponding feature services for search_query in search_queries: search_results = gis.content.search(query=search_query, item_type="Feature Service") #print (search_results) # Loop through each search result and append the item ID to the list for search_result in search_results: item_ids.append(search_result.id) #print(item_ids) # Loop through each item ID and unregister all replicas then disable sync for item in item_ids: flc = FeatureLayerCollection.fromitem(gis.content.get(item)) url = flc.url + "/unRegisterReplica?&replicaID=*&f=json&token="+token #print (url) response = requests.post(url) flc.manager.update_definition({"syncEnabled": False}) message = "Successfully unregistered all replicas and disabled sync on: " + ", ".join(search_queries) print(message)       ...

I get the blank screen too when trying to login (from Portal), and yes the Registered App is setup and the Re-direct URI added. That's not the problem. It's trying to load a localized language file that doesn't exist. in this line of code: https://assistant.esri-ps.com/locales/en-US/strings.json ... View more

The Info Summary widget in WAB is probably the most used widget in all of our web apps and dashboard themes. It's a quick, intuitive way for users to quickly identify and navigate to key points on a map. The existing features of the widget work well for our needs. In Experience Builder it would be ideal if this widget could also interact with other widgets. The Info Summary and Add Data widgets are the two key things currently missing from EB, and reason enough NOT to use EB until these have been added. Please feel free to contact me directly if you would like to see some live examples.  ... View more

@ThomasPerriment1 Came here with the same exact question. Have you ran into any issues (performance or otherwise) since you implemented this? What order did you insert your readme sheet into the xlsform?   Thanks in advance! -Mike ... View more

In ArcGIS Pro 2.9.2 the process of converting BIM .ifc files by manually running these tools in order works fine: BIM File to Geodatabase Make Building Layer Create Building Scene Layer Content However trying to run these same tools in Model Builder fails. I contacted ESRI support and there is a known bug for this issue: BUG-000144891  Hopefully will be resolved soon, as running this process in Model Builder is much more efficient than doing this manually if you have multiple large BIM datasets to convert. ...
