Package and Share with Python vs "Share - Project" menu

KyleGonterwitz — Sun, 12 Dec 2021 04:41:18 GMT

When I share a pro package to arcgis online using the "Share" menu to share the project, I can share the contents of the ArcGIS Pro project including basemaps and web services (like aerial photo web services) just fine.

When I use python to package and share a pro project, it cannot be packaged when any of the maps is using a web service.

I reported this as a bug, the python PackageProject_management function will not work with a non-basemap map service, such as valtus imagery or an editable feature service from ArcGIS server. To accommodate this script, those layers have been removed from the project. I wasn't getting the message across to Esri support, I developed my python in pydev for eclipse which they latched on to as the problem because its "outside the pro python environment" or something like that - I do not think that is the issue. The wanted me to run it in idle, and I didn't want to waste any more time on it at that time.

So the question is, do you get the same results? If so, would you say this is a bug that needs to be fixed at some point?

Created on Mar 7, 2018
share the designated ArcGIS Pro project to ArcGIS online
https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/tool-reference/data-management/share-package.htm
This tool may have limited use in a Python script outside of ArcGIS applications 
when sharing a package to a portal that uses OAUTH2 authentication. The ArcGIS Online 
for example, uses this authentication method. To authenticate, you must connect directly 
to the portal from the application. You will only be able to use this tool in a Python 
script if the application is open and connected to the portal, or you're connecting to a 
portal which uses traditional authentication mechanisms and allow the user name and 
password to be passed in.
reporting a bug, the python PackageProject_management function will not work with a non-basemap map service, such as valtus imagery or 
an editable feature service from ArcGIS server.  To accomodate this script, those layers have been removed from the project.
