Bulk "Share as Web Layer"

FlightDeck — Tue, 10 Jun 2025 15:02:34 GMT

Hey all,

I have a number of features in a project all grouped together. I have several of these groups. I need to send each of these groups or at least the items within each group to our Enterprise server to be displayed on a dashboard. However the option to "Share as Web Layer" is not available for the group and sending them one at a time is taking forever. Is there a way to send all necessary features in bulk to the enterprise server or use Model Builder to automate this, or is there a similar tool that would accomplish this?

TIA.

This sounds like a Python scripting problem. Should be able to automate the publication of data layers (one at a time, if necessary) to Server with a Python script that cycles through all the layers in the project.

I don't have a sample to show you but I've done this sort of thing before. Should be able to find a sample online to get you started.

Unfortunately I am not familiar enough with Python to accomplish said task nor am I familiar with using Python within Esri. If you have some resources you can point me to it would be appreciated...

I have not tried it, but you can right click on the layers or groups in the TOC and share as web layer.

Not sure if that gets you closer.

Will be greyed out if you are not connected to portal/AGOL.

This seems to only work one layer at a time. I have so many layers this isn't really feasible unfortunately.

It turns out you can import a File Geodatabase into Enterprise portal if you first zip the GDB. Instructions can be found here. https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/portal/11.3/use/publish-features.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_F878B830119B4443A8CFDA8A96AAF7D1
