Question regarding Copy Content between two Portals

MortenOlesen1 — Fri, 27 Apr 2018 19:41:39 GMT

I have been using a slightly modified version of this example (Example: Copy content—Portal for ArcGIS (10.5.x) | ArcGIS Enterprise) to try to copy content between two Portals (source is a 10.4.1 and target is a 10.5).

The scripts runs and content is created on the target Portal, but it is just a reference to the source Portal, not the actual content. So when you click on the item, the user is asked for source portal credentials.

What am I doing wrong? Is there a default setting that creates a reference rather than an actual copy?

Thanks for your time!!

Morten

Hi Morten,

Did you ever figure this out? When ArcGIS Server Manager on the target server is used the REST endpoint is a URL on the target server, as it should be, but the service is empty.

Thanks,

Mike

Hi Mike,

I believe it is possible if you allow anonymous authentication, but unfortunately it is not an option for us. I tried clone_items as well and described the process here:

Error when cloning items from one portal to another. The end results is the same.

I talked to esri support in Canada and they recommended republishing the services on the new portal and disregard the other two solution with our setup.

I hope this helps, although it probably wasn't the solution you were hoping for. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Cheers,

Morten
