Can you please give us a little bit more detail on what you are trying to achieve. I don't quite understand your question.

I haven't found an arcpy.mapping functions for setting a layer/table-ID.

Even in arcpy.mapping classes i haven't found a method in the class "layer" to set the ID.

Know somebody else more?

Is there a possibility in python with arcobjects?

if the property existed, it could be set, meaning that layers don't have an ID property but it has a readonly ObjectID property

You've got the wrong ID ...

Inside a mxd (ArcGIS 10.3+) you can open the possiblity to fix the IDs on the data frame:

After that you can fix the ID on each layer:

The wish is to set this layer ID's ... but with a python script and not manually.

You see the IDs in a published MapService - the numbers in brackets:

I'm using 10.2, so can't test anything in 10.3, but this doesn't appear to be a property of the Layer object. I'm guessing you're out of luck, at least as far as arcpy goes, which truly isn't meant to do absolutely everything.

I haven't found a function nor a method: To set the Table ID.

Tell me the name of the function or method you mean.

I look for the same as is described upper for the Layer ... in the example the Table ID is 200 - i want set it for example to 400. How can i do it programmatically?

Very old thread. Did you ever get this to work? I am trying to do the exact thing using 10.8.1 and I don't think much has changed in regard to this problem from 10.3, unless I am missing it in ArcPy.

Thanks.
