remove_datastore method

AzinSharaf — Thu, 02 Sep 2021 01:07:55 GMT

DatastoreManager class has add_database() method but it seems it doesn't have the remove method. How can I remove an existing registered datastore item using this class or other arcgis api for python classes?

Hi @AzinSharaf ,

The following code snippet unregisters a datastore:

gis_servers = gis_portal.admin.servers.list() # Select the relevant server server1 = gis_servers[1] dataStore_list = server1.datastores.list() # select the datastore you want to unregister,let's say the 4th one dataStore_list[3].delete()

I hope that's helpful.

hi @MehdiPira1

Thanks for your guidance. I was able to delete the registered datastore with the following code. I couldn't rely on datastore list index so I edited your code.

def delete_registered_ds(ds_name, gis): """ :param ds_name: a string in datastore's name :param gis: a GIS class :return: """ arcpy.AddMessage("Deleting the registered data store from GIS server...") gis_servers = gis.admin.servers.list() for gis_server in gis_servers: if "A_PORTAL_NAME" in gis_server.url.lower(): data_store_list = gis_server.datastores.list() for ds in data_store_list: if ds.type == "egdb": if ds_name.lower() in ds.path.lower(): ds.delete() break

@AzinSharaf ,

Not a problem. Glad that helped!
