Overwriting a Service to Server through Arcpy

Hey All,

I know there are some threads out there that seems to already answer part of the my question.

I am trying to overwrite a service to ArcServer through ArcPy but when I am using this "esriServiceDefinitionType_Replacement" service its rewriting the service definition. For example, the existing service is a feature service and Linear referencing service with certain pool and so forth. After the overwrite is done its just a map service.

Here is the code that I am using. (its a little messy since I am setting it up to iterate through 39 folders and overwrite 39 different service)

import arcpy

import os

import xml.dom.minidom as DOM

arcpy.env.overwriteoutput = True

arcpy.env.overwrite_existing_service = True

target_root = r'\\Server\Cloud Share\IT_SHARE\Development\GIS-Mo\GIS Data Dev\Spokane'

infile = r'\\Server\Cloud Share\IT_SHARE\Development\GIS-Mo\GIS Data Dev\Spokane\Spokane County Inv.mxd'

# define local variables

wrkspc = target_root # folder directory header

mapDoc = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(infile) # actual name of the mxd

con = r'User\AppData\Roaming\ESRI\Desktop10.5\ArcCatalog\serverstaging on www.apps.crab.wa.gov (publisher).ags' # string to the ArcGIS Server connection file

service = 'Spokane_County_Inv'

print ('Service name = ' + service) # service name we will want to iterate name

sddraft = os.path.join(wrkspc, service) + '.sddraft' # service draft

sd = os.path.join(wrkspc, service) + '.sd' # service definition

summary = 'Test service for doing the overwrite' # summary that can be anything

tags = 'test' # tags that can be anything

# create service definition draft

analysis = arcpy.mapping.CreateMapSDDraft(mapDoc, sddraft, service, 'ARCGIS_SERVER',

con, True, None, summary, tags)

newType = 'esriServiceDefinitionType_Replacement'

xml = os.path.join(wrkspc, sddraft)

doc = DOM.parse(xml)

descriptions = doc.getElementsByTagName('Type')

for desc in descriptions:

if desc.parentNode.tagName == 'SVCManifest':

if desc.hasChildNodes():

desc.firstChild.data = newType

outXml = xml

f = open(outXml, 'w')

doc.writexml( f )

f.close()

# stage and upload the service if the sddraft analysis did not contain errors

if analysis['errors'] == {}:

# Execute StageService

print ('Stage Service')

arcpy.StageService_server(sddraft, sd)

# Execute UploadServiceDefinition

print ('Upload Service Def')

arcpy.UploadServiceDefinition_server(sd,

con,

in_service_name="",

in_cluster="",

in_folder_type="FROM_SERVICE_DEFINITION",

in_folder="", in_startupType="STARTED",

in_override="USE_DEFINITION",

in_my_contents="NO_SHARE_ONLINE",

in_public="PRIVATE",

in_organization="NO_SHARE_ORGANIZATION",

in_groups="")

else:

# if the sddraft analysis contained errors, display them

print analysis['errors']

print ('Published Successfully: ' + service)
