Add / Insert a Feature Set to an existing Feature Service (aka Hosted Feature Layer)

vmarquart_max-boegl — Mon, 26 Aug 2024 15:24:31 GMT

The following code adds a spatially enabled dataframe to a feature service:

feature_service_item = sedf.spatial.insert_layer(feature_service = feature_service_item,service_name=new_sublayer_name)<div><div><span>However, there happens some type casting under the hood, which I do not want at the moment (e.g. Int32 will be converted to esriFieldTypeString).<div> <div><div><div><span>Is there a possibility to insert a FeatureSet as a new FeatureLayer inside a Feature Service? Like my abovementioned example for a sedf but just for fsets?</span></div></div></div></div></span></div></div>

However, there happens some type casting under the hood, which I do not want at the moment (e.g. Int32 will be converted to esriFieldTypeString).

Is there a possibility to insert a FeatureSet as a new FeatureLayer inside a Feature Service? Like my abovementioned example for a sedf but just for fsets?

Hi @vmarquart_max-boegl

I have successfully used the below workflow.

Get the Feature Set
Get information from the original Feature Layer
Define the new Feature Layer
Add the new Feature Layer to the Feature Service
Add in the Feature Set records

Code and workflow commented...

from arcgis.gis import GIS from arcgis.features import FeatureLayer from arcgis.features import FeatureLayerCollection ################################################################################ ## USER INPUTS ################################################################# ## the item id for the feature service that contains the layer to query fs_item_id = "FS_ITEM_ID" ## the index of the layer to query (0 if only one layer or the first layer) lyr_idx = 0 ## the item id for the feature service to add the new feature layer to add_lyr_item_id = "FS_ITEM_ID" ## the name of the new feature layer lyr_name = "NEW_FEATURE_LAYER" ## the feature layer query fl_query = "SQL_QUERY" ################################################################################ ## ACCESS ARCGIS ONLINE ######################################################## agol = GIS("home") ################################################################################ ## GET FEATURE SET INFORMATION ################################################# ## get the feature service item that contains the layer to query fs_item = agol.content.get(fs_item_id) ## get the layer of interest to query fl = FeatureLayer.fromitem(fs_item, lyr_idx) ## get the feature set fs = fl.query(fl_query) ################################################################################ ## CREATE NEW FEATURE LAYER #################################################### fl_properties = dict(fl.properties) ## get the feature service item to create new feature layer for add_lyr_item = agol.content.get(add_lyr_item_id) ## create feature layer definition fl_definition = { "type" : "Feature Layer", "name" : lyr_name, "geometryType": fl_properties["geometryType"], "drawingInfo" : fl_properties["drawingInfo"], "fields" : fl_properties["fields"], "indexes": fl_properties["indexes"], "objectIdField": fl_properties["objectIdField"], "uniqueIdField": fl_properties["uniqueIdField"], } ## create FLC object flc = FeatureLayerCollection.fromitem(add_lyr_item) ## update the JSON definition fof the feature service to include the layer flc.manager.add_to_definition({"layers": [fl_definition]}) ################################################################################ ## ADD RECORDS ################################################################# ## re-get the updated item object add_lyr_item = agol.content.get(add_lyr_item_id) ## get the layer of interest fl = [lyr for lyr in add_lyr_item.layers if lyr.properties.name == lyr_name][0] ## populate with data fl.edit_features(adds=fs.features) ################################################################################ print("\nSCRIPT COMPLETE")

Depending on the size of the Feature Set, you might want to break the edit_features into chunks of 2000 records at at time.
