Failed to upload service definition

JasonHuang — Mon, 06 Dec 2021 07:31:44 GMT

When I try to code the process of publishing web layer, it counters some problems. I can publish it manually, but it alerts the 'ERROR 002901: Sharing related error during geo-processing (Unable to check if service exists. (webtest/Map))' when I ran my python script. It did finish the process of 'Stage Service', and generate the file with the end of '.sd'. Is there any mistakes related to my codes?

I found that the problem happened when I tried to upload service definition. There always be weird problems with arcpy api in this section. I can manually do this in geoprocessing tool but not with the same parameters for python code. (I am sure that the sd file is new for each uploading try)

you have an extra space between the sharing.draft_summary = service. otherwise I don't see anything from this example

A week ago I posted about the same problem with very similar code here

https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/uploadservicedefinition-gets-the-good-old-error/m-p/1121091#M63097

I got no responses. I am hoping you get something. I will look at it again sometime today probably.

I'm back looking at this again, thanks to you @JasonHuang I reexamined the setting you used for the server and found a combination that works for me. That in_server arg is absurdly complicated; you have to use different values based on the type of content being shared. Another painful learning moment for me. Maybe I can go answer my own question now!
