Automatic scheduled downloads of hosted feature layer

mshanaghan — Thu, 01 Feb 2024 13:48:38 GMT

Hi all. I have a hosted feature layer on my Enterprise Portal that I would like to back up periodically. This hosted feature layer is not in an Enterprise geodatabase. I would like to write a script that will download the hosted feature layer as a file geodatabase and store it in a cloud storage folder on a regular basis, say, weekly.

Any advice on where to start to set this up?

Hi @mshanaghan. Do you have ArcGIS Notebooks in your Enterprise Portal? That would be a great place to create a script to download and backup your feature layer. Here is a huge list of sample notebooks to get you started - https://developers.arcgis.com/python/samples/

And don't forget that ArcGIS Online can also be used as a cloud storage system. It should be easy to use an ArcGIS Notebook to move a copy of your feature layer from Enterprise Portal to ArcGIS Online.

This will get an item by id, export to file geodatabase, and download it .

@Dan_Brumm I knew it would be easy in an ArcGIS Notebook!

@mshanaghan The other nice feature of ArcGIS Notebooks - there is a built in scheduler to run your script.
