'folders' key error on ServicesDirectory at ArcGIS API 1.4

BenHolmes1 — Mon, 16 Apr 2018 10:19:09 GMT

I've been trying to access the REST endpoint using the ArcGIS API for Python 1.4

When using any ServicesDirectory method which mentions folders, I get the key error seen here.

Any chance that could be fixed?

Ben,

Since I can't see your URLs, I'm going to assume that is the issue.

url = "http://mysite.com/server" # So it's net location / web adapter
gis = GIS(url="http://mysite.com/portal", username="******", password='*******')
sd = ServicesDirectory(url=url, portal_connection=gis)

Even though this will work, accessing a server this way is not recommended. You would go through your GIS object instead since your site is federated.

myservers = gis.admin.servers.list()

It will return an array of server objects.

Hi Andrew

Thanks for the response.

Sorry for my lack of clarity. The URLs were okay, I just left them out as they are internal.

My objective was to get lists of services in a folder on the server and then gather some further information on them.

I thought the ServicesDirectory.list(folder="abc") method looked like an easy method in the API docs.

But any reference to 'folder' in any ServicesDirectory methods throws an error. That seems to have been around for a few versions.

I did remove the connection through the federated "gis" connection as you suggested though.

Regards

Ben

Ben Holmes‌ Have you found a resolution for this? I've experienced it from v1.2.3 - 1.4.1.

Can a group admin respond to this thread? Jay Theodore Atma Mani

What is wrong with this code?

url = "https://<servername>.spokanecounty.org:6443/arcgis/admin/"
servDirectory = server.catalog.ServicesDirectory(url,<User>,<Pw>)
servDirectory.folders

Phil Larkin‌, Ben Holmes‌ since the objective is to get a list of `Service` objects in each folder, please refer to the doc here: Managing your GIS servers | ArcGIS for Developers In short below should work in version `1.4.1`

server1.services.list()  # to get list of services in root
server1.services.folders # to get list of folders
server1.services.list(folder='System') # to get services in a particular folder‍‍‍

Hi Atma, thanks for your reply.

I'm attempting to access the ServicesReport REST endpoint on a local enterprise server. Using the arcgis.gis.server module offers the ServicesDirectory.report function. It doesn't appear to me that the arcgis.gis.admin module has any applicable functions. Can you tell me how i would use the admin module to get to the ServicesReport end point?

I wasn't able to get the ServicesReport so I iterated over services to get the status/statistics. Thanks for your help Atma Mani‌. Ben Holmes‌ hopefully this helps.

from arcgis.gis import server

url = "https://<servername>.spokanecounty.org:6443/arcgis/admin"
srv = server.Server(url=url, username= <username>, password = <password>)

srvManager = srv.services

for folder in srvManager.folders:
    for service in srv.services.list(folder):
        summary = service.statistics['summary']
        status = service.status‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I experienced the same error and found that the methods and properties of ServicesDirectory didn't work with a url from Server 10.4 was used. BUT It worked with a url from 10.6. Could this be a bug Atma Mani ? Is ArcGIS API for Python only for versions > 10.5?

This has since broken at AGS 10.7.1 in a shared site configuration. Using API 1.8.1

AttributeError: 'Server' object has no attribute 'services'

I am able to reproduce the problem in version 2.2.0.2 of the Python API with the following code. I have replaced my server's fully-qualified domain name with "www.example.net".

from arcgis.gis import server
import getpass

server_base_url = "https://www.example.net:6443"

username=input("What is your AGS username?")
password = getpass.getpass(prompt=f"What is your ArcGIS Server password at {server_base_url}?")

result = server.Server(url=server_base_url, username=username, password=password, all_ssl=True, initialize=True)

result.content

result.content.folders

Has anyone found a workaround for this? I can confirm that [server].content.folders and [server].services both throw KeyErrors when run against Server 11.2, however, they appear to work against older Server 10.7. Here, the server object is a standalone server.
