Transfer Expereince Builder to another organization

edward33 — Tue, 18 May 2021 19:24:35 GMT

I am needing to transfer my experience builder to another ArcGIS organization. I have tried both ArcGIS Online Assistant and the API code from the blog post: https://community.esri.com/t5/learn-arcgis-documents/how-to-copy-content-from-one-arcgis-online-account-to-another/ta-p/913539

I have used the code to transfer other content (web maps, web app builder, and survey123 forms) with success. I am wondering if there is something extra that needs to be added?

The error I get is:

("Failed to create Web Experience: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\\\Users\\\\......... , None)

FYI: Your link says - "It will not work for ArcGIS StoryMaps or ArcGIS Experience Builder" and then directs people to: https://developers.arcgis.com/python/sample-notebooks/clone-storymap-version2/

BUT, I just tried something similar with a script built from that template and it worked fine on a test Experience. The error makes me think it's a relative path issue. If you could attach your script that'd help 🙂

Hi @edward33,

Have you tried the new ArcGIS Assistant (Beta) to transfer your Experience Builder to another ArcGIS Online Organization?

Hi @edward33,

This is a limitation of the clone_items() method and Experience Builder items are not supported with it at the moment.

From what I've seen, both versions of ArcGIS Online Assistant also cannot properly copy an Experience Builder app. While the item for the Experience is cloned in the target organization, the copy of the app still references the maps, apps, and other underlying layers used in the original Experience, as this workflow (similar to the Python API clone_items() method) only copy the app item and not other items that are used in this app in different ways or forms.

Until this functionality is added to ArcGIS API for Python in future releases, one possible workaround is to clone Web Maps and/or Feature Services and/or apps used in the Experience using clone_items() method, and then rebuild the Experience Builder app in the target organization.

Best,

I hope cloning Experience Builder items would be part of a future version of the python API.

@KarstenRank cloning Experience Builder items and other operations are planned to be available in Python API around UC this year.

This sounds good!

@MJBiazar and @Jianxia Thank you for this information. I have been working with an Esri tech for a week and a half trying to solve this issue. I received the error, "'NoneType' object has no attribute 'metadata'". While waiting on a response, I noticed the Developers documentation did not list Experience Builder on their list of items that were able to be cloned. It didn't specify that it couldn't be done, but didn't specify that it could. I will let my tech know.

@JasminePrater , sorry for that. Please wait for the upcoming release of Python API.

@JasminePrater It is possible, it's basically a uniqueID path issue.. I should've expanded on how we solved it...

Sorry it was a while ago but we took the example scripts for item cloning and combined that with an ESRI YouTube video walk-through. The issue is ExB's (and WebApps) use uniqueIDs to reference layers. When you clone a dashboard to another portal, it generates new uniqueIDs for the layers but references the old IDs.

This means you need your cloning script to run through the ExB, grab all the layers' uniqueIDs and when it clones, rename the oldIDs to the new ones. You can also do this manually via the AGOLAssistant with find/replace.

Finally, we've just done this process again with ExB Dev Edition Dashboards onto our ESRI 11.1 stack. In that case, the recommended solution was to .zip the dashboard, copy to the portal server, generate a dummy ExB and replace that with the dev .zip (remembering to rename the config.json to the uniqueID).

Hi @Jianxia, has this functionality been released in the latest Python API v2.1.0?

https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-python-api/releases/tag/v2.1.0

alex_mapintel — Thu, 13 Jul 2023 05:16:50 GMT

@Jianxia Im using "2.1.0.2" and clone_items() on an experience builder item is not working

RoseZhou2 — Wed, 19 Jul 2023 15:34:58 GMT

@Jianxia Has the the new Python API which supports cloning Experience Builder items and other operations been released? If not, any date?

We have a few Experience Builder applications to be deployed from development env to production env.

Thanks

Rose

@JasminePrater @alex_mapintel @KarstenRank, the upcoming release of ArcGIS API for Python (v2.2.0) is planned to be available on September 25. A blog post will be available, describing the new module and showing some workflows. Will share the blog here. Thanks!

Has there been any update on this or the new release of the ArcGIS API for Python (v2.2.0)?

Re: Transfer Expereince Builder to another organization

Jianxia — Fri, 29 Sep 2023 23:15:50 GMT

@SamJakson, ArcGIS API for Python (v2.20) is now available on the developers website. You may check out this new topic of Working with Web Experiences in the Python API .

Hi Jianxia

The link supplied for Working with Web Experiences... says 'page not found'

I searched for the title on that page and found this article. I think this is what we need.
