Clone or copy webmap item

RichardReinicke — Thu, 28 Oct 2021 09:44:36 GMT

Hi,

can someone tell me how I can copy or clone a "Web Map" item from my user root folder into another folder?

I have ArcGIS Pro 2.8.3 installed and arcgis API version 1.8.5 (latest I can get).

I tried

clone_results = gis.content.clone_items(items=[map_template], folder="test")

and yes, map_template is really the web map item in my root folder and "test" exists.

I get an error:

I already reinstalled my whole ArcGIS Pro and conda/python environment, error remains.

Any ideas?

I believe Clone_items is only for cloning items between different portals (eg. from staging to production portal). That is what I am using it for!

Maybe look into item.copy.item? I have never tried that though.

Hi @CarstenB_orsted,

I believe, you're right in this points. I came to the same conclusion when browsing online materials:

I also tested following way:

map_json = json.dumps(map_template.get_data(try_json=True)) project_map = gis.content.add({"title": "ABC", "type": "Web Map", "snippet": "ABCD", "tags": "XYZ", "text": map_json}, folder="test")

Exact same result here!

I'll also try your version as wll now.

Function item.copy_item() is not available in 1.8.5 and I dont know how I can get the latest 1.9.1 version because I'm using ArcGIS Pro environment clone and latest Pro version 2.8.3 only supports 1.8.5.

item.copy() doesn't seem to be appropriate for what I'm trying to achieve.

3. Option now
clone_results = WebMap(map_template).save({"title": "ABC", "snippet": "XYZ", "tags": "abc"}, folder="test")

Exact same result... okay it must be something else related to our portal...
I'll investigate this.

Okay all 3 approaches have the same result BUT I forgot to mention that in all three cases the web map copy get's created in the other folder only in my jupyter notebook I get the strange python error.

Portal logs looking okay. Item created successfully.

So it seems to be a communication problem between arcgis python API and the portal. Also the error is raised in _connection.py!

Okay, I found the mistake. I had an invalid layer in my template map. The invalid layer was the result of trying to create a new group layer programmatically.

Without the invalid layer there are several ways to achieve the copy webmap task. Here is one that I'm using now and which is working for me:

# This is my base webmap (template) map_template = gis.content.get('some_item_id') # Copy template to new web map item into subfolder project_map = WebMap(map_template).save({ "title": "project map", "snippet": "some description", "tags": "maps"}, folder="project_folder")
