Sharing after using clone_items()

Hi all,

I am in the process of migrating a Portal to another portal. I am using the clone_item() function to migrate the items unlike this clone users, groups, and content . This works great. The only issue I have is when I try to share items with groups, org or everyone. Although my script does update the sharing for some, I often get this error Item has a Relationship Type that does not allow this. (Error Code: 500).

Any idea what I can do to update sharing for an item and its related items?

Here is my current code:

#source content source_users = source.users.search('!esri_ & !admin') #target content target_users = target.users.search('!esri_ & !admin & !system_publisher') #source groups source_groups = source.groups.search("!owner:esri_* & !Basemaps") #target groups target_groups = target.groups.search("!owner:esri_* & !Basemaps") for user in source_users: if user.username == "ITPublisher1": tester_content = source.content.search("owner:"+ user.username, max_items=500) for item in tester_content: print(item.access) if item.access == "shared": for group in source_groups: for group_item in group.content(): if group_item.itemid == item.itemid: print(group) target_group = target.groups.search(group.title) for tg in target_group: target_item = target.content.search(item.title) print(tg.groupid) for ti in target_item: print(ti) ti.share(everyone=False, org=False, groups=tg.groupid) else: print("not in target portal ") #elif item.access == "public": # target_item = target.content.search(item.title) # for ti in target_item: # print(ti) # ti.share(everyone=True, org=False) elif item.access == "org": target_item = target.content.search(item.title) for ti in target_item: print(ti) ti.share(everyone=False, org=True)

Hi @Alex_Gole ,

One of the requirements of cloning is establishing the same relationship between source and target items.

The following link provides a useful step by step process of establishing relationships when cloning (section: Establish relationship between items);

Doesn't clone_items(). Take care of the relationship. In the demo you point to, I notice that they dont use clone_items() when they copy the items. they use:

what i use:

cloned_items = target.content.clone_items(items=[item], folder=f['title'], copy_data=False, group_mapping)

what is used by the sample:

 target_item = target.content.add(item_properties, data_file, thumbnail_file, 
                                             metadata_file, source_item.owner, folder_name)

It looked like the relationship between items was taken care of by clone_items().

Thanks,

@Alex_Gole

No it doesn't.

These are the steps required for items to be cloned properly:

Items
Copying items consists of multiple steps as explained in the following section of the sample:

For each user create a mapping of itemId to the Item
Prepare sharing information for each item
Print a mapping of item and its group membership
Copy items one by one
Establish relationship between items
