Does arcgis.gis.GIS work with a stand-alone Enterprise or do you have to have Portal?

deleted-user-z2GLgII8IrQ9 — Tue, 12 Jun 2018 12:42:02 GMT

I'm trying to run either of these examples from

arcgis.gis module — arcgis 1.4.2 documentation

on my stand-alone enterprise GIS (10.6).

# Usage Example 3: Built-in Login to ArcGIS Enterprisegis = GIS(url="http://pythonplayground.esri.com/portal",      username="user1", password="password1")

# Usage Example 4: Built-in Login to ArcGIS Enterprise, ignoring SSL errorsgis = GIS(url="http://pythonplayground.esri.com/portal", username="user1",          password="password1", verify_cert=False)

But, I keep getting an error cascade that includes:

RuntimeError: (gaierror(11001, 'getaddrinfo failed'),)

It's a little confusing in the documentation, but I can read it once and seems Enterprise-only is fine, and another time it seems to say you need Portal.

This is a new server installation and is otherwise pretty vanilla.

Thanks,

Mike

An ArcGIS Enterprise Deployment typically contains at least a Portal with Web Adapter, a Server with Web Adapter, and a Data Store. You can use the Python API to connect to your Enterprise using the GIS object by specifying the url to your Portal.

gis = GIS("https://mycompanydomain.com/portal","username","password",verify_cert=False)

The error you are seeing implies to me that you cannot resolve the hostname of your portal. Is the url correct? Can you access that same url via a web-browser?

Thanks - that could be it.

The url I'm using is correct to the web adapter.

I'll check the Portal installation (and if they installed it even, when setting this up).

Including the whole error traceback gives community members much more to comment on. I use the ArcGIS API for Python with stand-alone ArcGIS Enterprise deployments all the time.

Here's the error output. I should have thought of including this originally

Jupyter notebook cell:

from arcgis.gis import GIS
gis = GIS("https://my.arcgisurl.com/arcgis", username="MYUSERNAME", password="MYPASSWORD", verify_cert=False)

I've got the server admin guy checking to make sure there isn't some other ssl cert thing going on, but other operations seem to work.

thanks

The text of the error message implies it is an untrusted cert, but I am guessing it may be a bit of a red herring since you are clearly passing verify_cert=False. There is some kind of SSL error happening, what exactly isn't clear. Asking your admin is a good start.
