ArcGIS Pro fails to publish web layer

Anonymous User — Thu, 13 Jan 2022 07:16:49 GMT

I am trying to publish a polygon layer from ArcGIS Pro to AGOL. However whatever I do, it brakes on 'Uploading service definition...', returns the message: 'Failed to publish web layer' and gives me the option to 'View log', which opens the log in txt format.

What could go wrong?

Thank you,

Stan

Any useful message in the log? Please ensure you have the appropriate privileges to publish web layer(s) to your ArcGIS Online organizational account.

I just updated ArcPro to 2.9.1.

I'm currently trying to overwrite a web layer. It has failed on me twice now. And it currently appears to be stuck at "Uploading service definition"

I'll update this if it fails or completes successfully. EDIT: It's failed every time.

I reviewed the logs from my last failures... below are the messages it gives:

Hello Stan,

I am sorry that you are experiencing this issue. Could you please check if your ArcGIS Online organization has enough credits? Speaking of which, how complex/large is the polygon layer you are publishing?

Is it detailed with many vertices?
Does it cover a large area e.g. census tract/district boundaries across an entire region/country?

Sometimes there are generic errors for larger datasets. Although this is not always the case, it's a good place to start.

Best regards,
Kanin

It appears others are having similar issues.
https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-online-questions/troubleshooting-process-for-uploading-to-arcgis/m-p/1133366#M43732

I am the admin for my organization. Plenty of credits, not an unusual task for me to perform.

It only includes 1 point feature class with 5 features, and 1 related table that doesn't have any records in it.

ArcGIS version is 2.8.0. I am publishing from the admin's account. Our organization has enough credits. The layer has 31 features. The level of details is low, because the polygons are either county or city boundaries.

last three rows marked as 'failed' from the log:

There must be an AGO issue. My office is having the same issues as listed above. We have more than enough credits, I'm an admin and I was able to publish on the morning of Jan 11, 2022. We can't publish last night or today.

Looks like it is working again! Thanks Esri!

Looking at https://status.arcgis.com/ it looks like it's 'working' now. This was the message about feature service publishing:

SSMGroup — Mon, 17 Jan 2022 13:08:04 GMT

It's no longer working again. Receiving the same errors I was last week.

Kanin,

I'm having the same publishing issues again. Is Esri having issues again?

Re: ArcGIS Pro fails to publish web layer

SSMGroup — Mon, 17 Jan 2022 17:06:35 GMT

Are things working correctly for you today? I'm having issues publishing again.

AdrianWelsh — Mon, 17 Jan 2022 17:17:56 GMT

According to https://status.arcgis.com/ things appear to be working normal. But if you keep an eye on it, they update it regularly.

It's been failing for the last 6 hours.

Well, since the AGOL feature layers are apparently working ok, something is going on locally with your publishing. I am not sure why @Kanin marked the post as the "solution" but I removed that so that this thread stays open.

Questions: can you publish other layers?

Can you update other published layers?

What we need to figure out is where the issue is coming from.

I’ve been having similar issues all afternoon trying to publish a simple 800 point layer from pro, through Agol as xlsx and csv. All failing continually. I’m signed in to AGOL & field names follow best practice.

Completely stumped & come across this post trying to troubleshoot.

Looks like AGOL might have an issue with one of their servers. We export about 80 layers to open data daily using Python and ArcPro and one won't update and hasn't for some time. If we rename and export it, it works so not on our side or the pro document. All others export through the script and manually as expected.

Error messages are likely not related to the issue, I suspect the 400 means it is not in the index at Esri so there is possibly a bad cluster or re-indexing needed.

Status: InProgress StatusMessage: Server Response: ERROR: code:400, Unable to delete item. This service item has a related Service item, Bad syntax in request.
Status: InProgress StatusMessage: Publishing tool execution failed
Status: Failed ErrorMessage: Failed to publish web layer

We had a similar issue in 2020 where every 8th or so person could not get into a survey123 app and it turned out to be a bad cluster and once Esri re-indexed or did their magic the issue was resolved. The item is our roads layer in open data if it helps Esri find which server has an issue because I am pretty sure this is an AGOL issue, not a local one.

I have an issue similar to this. I am trying to publish a large feature layer containing points, lines and polygons and every time I publish from Pro I get the 'ErrorMessage: Failed to publish web layer'. However when I go into my organisations AGOL account the feature layer is present. Is this just a quirk of Pro to Online or would anyone have any ideas what might be happening?
