Hi, Help with the following issue (Error:500 Item does not have a file) would be greatly appreciated I have written the following python script with the assistance of some sample code I found and with the aid of ArcGIS Online Rest help documentation. You will note I have used 2 alternative methods to upload the same locally stored CSV file onto my orginisation's ArcGIS Online site. Both methods return the status of "Success" specifically with a message such as "{"success" : true,"id" : "0ded368614754acd88d00084d5804a7d","folder" : null}" The upload at first glance looks fine as on the ArcGIS Online site a new item appears added to 'My Contents' and is correctly named with properties correctly populated by the python code. However, when I try to open the CSV file ArcGIS Online returns the error - Error:500 'Item does not have a file'. Can someone please take a look at the code and suggest what may be the cause of error? I tried to upload different files including some in KML file format and got the exact same error. The code below has dummy user-name and password details added and currently assumes that the local file is stored "'E:\sample.csv" #---------------------------------------- #Sample Python Script import json, urllib, urllib2 import requests from json import JSONEncoder 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'} 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 print str(token) return token['token'] def uploadCSVfile1(token, ThePlaceTOupload): files = {'file': open('E:\sample.csv','rb'), 'type':'CSV', 'filename':'E:\sample.csv', 'title':'AA_Upload_CSV_File_Method_1', 'async': 'false', 'accessInformation' : 'Copyright:? 2014 Hydro Tasmania', 'spatialReference':'GDA 94', 'licenseInfo':'This work is licensed to Hydro Tasmania', 'description': 'CSV description', 'tags':'web, mapping, application', 'snippet' : 'This new snippet', 'typeKeywords': 'Static', 'f': 'json', 'token': token } r = requests.post(ThePlaceTOupload, files) print r.content print "Method 1 Returned Message" def uploadCSVfile2(token, ThePlaceTOupload): query_dict = {'file': open('E:\sample.csv','rb'), 'type':'CSV', 'filename':'E:\sample.csv', 'title':'AA_Upload_CSV_File_Method_2', 'async': 'false', 'accessInformation' : 'Copyright:? 2014 Hydro Tasmania', 'spatialReference':'GDA 94', 'licenseInfo':'This work is licensed to Hydro Tasmania', 'description': 'CSV description', 'tags':'web, mapping, application', 'snippet' : 'This new snippet', 'typeKeywords': 'Static', 'f': 'json', 'token': token } attachResponse = urllib.urlopen(ThePlaceTOupload, urllib.urlencode(query_dict)) msg = json.loads(attachResponse.read()) print "Method 2 Returned Message" print msg return def main(): USERNAME = "My_Org_User_Name" PASSWORD = "My_Org_Password" REFFER = "http://www.arcgis.com" ThePlaceTOupload = "https://ht.maps.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/content/users/My_Org/addItem/" token = gentoken(USERNAME, PASSWORD, REFFER) uploadCSVfile1(token, ThePlaceTOupload) # Method 1 uploadCSVfile2(token, ThePlaceTOupload) # Method 2 if __name__ == '__main__': main() ...

The publishing 'on premise' of KML Map Services via ArcGIS Server is fully supported. This is great as it recognises that  'non-gis' users of spatial data may prefer to use Google Earth as their default client but still access SDE stored 'source of truth data'. The ArcGIS Server KML enabled Map Services support Google Earth users connected to the internal business IT network ESRI needs to better support Google Earth for disconnected staff who are external to the network via ArcGIS Online. This can be done by enabling KML Feature Services published in ArcGIS Online. Although KML can be uploaded as individual files the following limitations severely restrict usage: 1) There is no arcpy method to automate the update the hosted KML file when data source is updated 'on premise'. This means it needs to be manually re-uploaded at least once per day to keep data synchronised. 2) The single Feature Service on ArcGIS Online should support multiple clients. Currently multiple files/services need to be uploaded to ArcGIS Online to support different client applications. This adds an unwanted administration overhead 3) The size of the KML file that can be uploaded is restricted to a certain size. This means that as well as having to manually upload new files everytime source data changes, the process involves splitting source data into multiple KML files. There is no restriction on size for non-KML Feature Services published in ArcGIS Online. For the reasons above please enable KML Feature Services published in ArcGIS Online ASAP ... View more

Hi There Is it possible to update a table in a versioned SDE database from SharePoint? My table contains a register of assets that I want non-GIS people to be able to add items to. I have done some investigation and testing of the editing experience interfacing SDE tables from SharePoint using Database Connections to Multi-Version Views (Viewed in SharePoint via SharePoint Designer built pages). The SharePoint experience ??? New records can be added. The OBJECTID is mandatory and unfortunately has to be manually added. The OBJECTID is not auto-populated nd because it is mandatory can???t be left to SDE to auto-allocate the next ID the behind the scenes. ??? Old and new records from current edit session can be deleted ??? Old records can???t be Modified. New records can be modified just the once before they to lock-up. If the end-user makes a mistake adding a new GIS_ID or GIS_Source record it isn???t easy for them to correct it. I haven't tried accessing the table from SharePoint as an 'External List' but suspect I'll encounter same issue. So does anyone know if non-feature related tables residing within a versioned SDE database can indeed be edit externally via a non ESRI client such as SharePoint? Any advice on alternative approach also greatly appreciated. Regards Hayden ... View more

Hi There, I have the Data Interoperability extension installed and can perform a successful 'Quick Export' to GML and then import back again the exported file into ArcMap. However, I have an externally sourced GML file that simply will not load and returns the error "Error when writing schema: A unique destination feature type name can not be generated for.." Please provide advice on how I can load  up the below. Does it need to be reformated to a later version of GML. If so what would the new format look like applied to the example below? Any help greatly appreciated <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <schema xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema' xmlns:gml='http://www.opengis.net/gml' xmlns:xlink='http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink' xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema-instance' xsi:schemaLocation='http://www.opengis.net/gml/feature.xsd'> <gml:Polygon srsName='http://www.opengis.net/gml/srs/epsg.xml#28355'> <gml:outerBoundaryIs> <gml:LinearRing> <gml:coord><gml:X>505461.452639567</gml:X><gml:Y>5404659.39500733</gml:Y></gml:coord> <gml:coord><gml:X>505478.218825224</gml:X><gml:Y>5404650.16791261</gml:Y></gml:coord> <gml:coord><gml:X>505418.476206284</gml:X><gml:Y>5404545.29881424</gml:Y></gml:coord> <gml:coord><gml:X>505385.948338288</gml:X><gml:Y>5404567.63763573</gml:Y></gml:coord> <gml:coord><gml:X>505437.142484404</gml:X><gml:Y>5404623.22069171</gml:Y></gml:coord> <gml:coord><gml:X>505461.452639567</gml:X><gml:Y>5404659.39500733</gml:Y></gml:coord> </gml:LinearRing> </gml:outerBoundaryIs> </gml:Polygon> </schema> ...
