Setting Sharing Level "PUBLIC" Publishing Hosted Layer Using Python

AshadAlif1 — Wed, 28 Sep 2022 18:13:58 GMT

Hi Guys,
I have a python code to publish and overwrite a hosted feature layer to AGOL from my ArcGIS Pro project. The Problem is when i run the code to overwrite the Hosted Feature Layer with Updated Data, The Sharing Level of that Feature layer in AGOL becomes "Organization only". I need to go to the AGOL organization and manually i need to set the sharing level to Public every time. Since i am using that layer for a public web map and Web App , the layer needs to be public. My codes are as following:

# Create FeatureSharingDraft and set overwrite property server_type = "HOSTING_SERVER" sddraft = m.getWebLayerSharingDraft(server_type, "FEATURE", service_name) sddraft.overwriteExistingService = True sddraft.credits = "These are credits" sddraft.description = "This is description" sddraft.summary = "This is summary" sddraft.tags = "tag1, tag2" sddraft.useLimitations = "These are use limitations" sddraft.portalFolder = "01 My DevOps" sddraft.allowExporting = False sddraft.enable_sync = True print("~~Metadata Updated Done~~ Overwrite Enabled") # Create Service Definition Draft file sddraft.exportToSDDraft(sddraft_output_filename) print("SD draft File Creation Done") # Stage Service print("Staging Started ...") sddraft.overwriteExistingService = True arcpy.server.StageService(sddraft_output_filename, sd_output_filename) print("~~Staging Done~~") # Share to portal print("Uploading Started...") arcpy.server.UploadServiceDefinition(sd_output_filename, server_type) print(" Done! ~~ Hosted Layer Re - Published ~~Congrats")

I assume if inthe sddraft there could be a function to solve this. I did not find any documentation on this searching the ArcGIS Python documentation or arcpy. Is there a Solution?

My Goal is to overwrite the hosted feature layer as a publicly shared feature layer.

Hi @AshadAlif1,

You can use the Upload Service Definition tool to set the sharing settings. There is also a way to set sharing in the sddraft by modifying the XML file. We are working on documenting how to do this in the help topics at an upcoming release.

Best,

Jonah

Unfortunetly the question that you are linking has no solution whereas this one does and is exactly what the user was asking for (and also me hehe).

Hi @JonahLay ,

Is there a way to accomplish this if you are sharing this to your own Portal? I noticed in the Upload Service Definition documentation that it says the Share with Everyone parameter will not be honored if you're sharing to ArcGIS Server. I'm guessing this is why even if I set these parameters my locator I'm overwriting isn't shared with everyone after the script completes. Is there a way to make this work on ArcGIS server?
