Updating enterprise feature class using ArcGIS API for Python

Anonymous User — Sun, 12 Dec 2021 16:21:02 GMT

I have created a Python script that will turn some CSVs to features in a GDB and I am trying to get the feature class on my local machine to overwrite the feature on our enterprise portal. I have imported the arcgis.gis library and I think that I need to be using the arcgis.gis.Datastore().update.

   gis = ag.GIS(portal, user, password)
   print(f'Connected to {portal}')
   print(ag.Datastore('ArcGIS_Data_Store', '\\portal-url\arcgisdatastore)').datasets)

It seems like I am getting logged in alright, but when I run this script I get the following error. I am unable to find any examples for this. How do others update their files in the datastore.

Traceback (most recent call last):
Connected to https://portal-url/arcgis/
File "W:/Research&Development/Data-Share/layers/trapeze/MetroBusStops/AutomationExports/py/CSV_2_FeatureClass_2_DataStore.py", line 65, in <module>
print(ag.Datastore(datastore='ArcGIS_Data_Store', path='https://portal-url/arcgis/arcgisdatastore').datasets)
File "C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3\lib\site-packages\arcgis\gis\__init__.py", line 955, in __init__
self._portal = datastore._portal
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute '_portal'

UPDATE:

I have started using the FeatureLayerCollection module. I have imported at the top and have appended the following

current_file = FeatureLayerCollection.fromitem.fromitem('https://url/arcserver/rest/services/MetroBusStopsByLine_191021/MapServer/0')
current_file.manager.overwrite(current_file.manager.overwrite('AutomationExports.gdb/MetroBusStopsByLine_191021'))

and I am getting the following error

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "W:/Research&Development/Data-Share/layers/trapeze/MetroBusStops/AutomationExports/py/CSV_2_FeatureClass_2_DataStore.py", line 69, in <module>

Is that your entire code? Based on the AttributeError I think something might have gone awry earlier in your code.

So the rest of my code is not related to this. The only thing that has happened is I have declared some variables associated with the portal. I updated the request with the full error.

Ah ok, I see what you're saying. Are you sure you need to interact with the DataStore class?

I may be misunderstanding your intent, but it sounds like what you want to do is update or overwrite a feature layer that's already hosted or registered with your portal. If so, there's a sample notebook that talks about taking CSV files, reading them using the pandas library, publishing the CSV as a feature layer, and then overwriting an existing feature layer. Hope this helps and I'm not way off base with what you're trying to do!

Thanks for following up on my reply. I have a little better handle on this now, but I am still unsure how to connect to an existing feature. I would assume that I would use the url on the feature layer page, but I am not able to find the function that would connect something like that. as far as the rest of the script that I have put together. I am using the overwrite() function

current_file = FeatureLayerCollection.fromitem.fromitem('https://metroas08.metrostlouis.org/arcserver/rest/services/MetroBusStopsByLine_191021/MapServer/0')
current_file.manager.overwrite(current_file.manager.overwrite('AutomationExports.gdb/MetroBusStopsByLine_191021'))

and I am getting the following error
