Error when trying to generate offline areas

ParksCamp — Sun, 12 Dec 2021 09:47:08 GMT

I'm attempting to automate the creation of a set of offline areas from a AGOL web map. I've created a couple of areas for this web map manually through AGOL with no problem. However, when attempting this with the Python API, I'm getting errors. My web map is very simple and only contains a vector basemap.

Any ideas on the source of this error?

In the example below, I use a bookmark for the area, but the same error occurs if I use an extent.

Using this command:

offlineItem = oWebMap.offline_areas.create(area='TAE', item_properties=oLine_properties)

where:

The bookmark itself:
{       "extent": {         "spatialReference": {           "wkid": 102100         },         "xmax": -9311960.288686637,         "xmin": -9457037.768371958,         "ymax": 3644687.9398760623,         "ymin": 3470105.7672726526       },       "name": "TAE"
}

oLine_properties = {'title': 'TAE1',
 'tags': ['DAT'],
 'snippet': 'Offline Map for TAE CWA'}

The error:

I'm having the same issue when attempting to create an offline area from an extent and a bookmark. I'm getting the following error message. I've imported the mapping and geometry packages but that didn't fix it.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I know this is an old post, but I too am having this issue.

{"code": 24, "messageCode": "OffPkg_ 24", "message": "Parameter extent is invalid or exceeded limit.", "params": {"name": "extent"}} Failed to execute (CreateMapArea). Failed.

Anything new here ESRI?

I came across this issue and found it was tied to the polygon complexity. There were either geometry errors or too many vertices in the feature itself. Simpler polygons in the same layer worked while larger/complex ones did not.

I ran the generalize tool on the polygon layer to smooth them out and the error disappeared.
