Portal API content.add and .publish overwrite option not working

chris_del101 — Wed, 18 Dec 2024 22:24:11 GMT

I'm trying to add a feature layer to portal and I get the error, even though I include overwrite=True:

Exception: {'message': "Service name 'myService' already exists for '123abc'"} Arguments: (Exception('Unable to Add messages Job Event\nUnable to Add messages Job Event\n(Error Code: 500)'),)

I am including overwrite in the properties and in the function itself, just in case at least one might work, yet it does nothing. It's specified here .

The content.add problem can be overcome by either deleting the item from portal, or adding a script to do it, but the .publish one is fatal. I DO NOT have any item with that name and this error is still occurring. How do I make the overwrite param work?

item_properties = { 'title': itemTitle, 'type': 'File Geodatabase', 'description': item.description, 'accessInformation': item.accessInformation, 'licenseInfo': item.licenseInfo, 'overwrite': True } fgd = trg.content.add(item_properties=item_properties, owner=username, data=download_result, overwrite=True) targetService = fgd.publish(overwrite=True)

I am not looking for a better way to do this overall, but to solve this issue.

Hi @chris_del101,

What version of Enterprise and what version of the ArcGIS API for Python are you using?

Hi @JakeSkinner, this taken from your migration tools for Pro. I am having trouble authenticating with those but the code looks useful.

Enterprise: 11.3.0

arcgis PY: 2.4.0

@chris_del101 try the following:

item_properties = { 'title': itemTitle, 'type': 'File Geodatabase', 'description': item.description, 'accessInformation': item.accessInformation, 'licenseInfo': item.licenseInfo, 'overwrite': True } root_folder = trg.content.folders.get() fgd = root_folder.add(item_properties=fgd_properties, file=download_result).result() targetService = fgd.publish(overwrite=True)

Note: The property `overwrite` is deprecated and support will be removed two releases after 2.4.0 for the item_properties.

I tried a layer and this seemed to solve that problem, but not for long. I hit some other errors now, and they are just cryptic af.

I was able to copy a layer once, but when I tried a different layer I got this with no additional information.

result_item = item.export(itemTitle, 'File Geodatabase', wait=True) --- Logging error --- Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\me\code\source\repos\arcgis-cloner\src\service_app.py", line 66, in copy_layer_to_folder result_item = item.export(itemTitle, 'File Geodatabase', wait=True) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "c:\Users\me\.virtualenvs\arcgis-cloner-pO5T1BLr\Lib\site-packages\arcgis\gis\__init__.py", line 14038, in export raise Exception("Could not export item: %s" % self.itemid) Exception: Could not export item: 4ba901c8e2f248c6882a5b11552af741 Error exporting item

I went back to the first item and tried it again I get this. It makes a new folder first, so it's not an issue of existing items existing

targetService = fgd.publish(overwrite=True) --- Logging error --- Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\me\code\source\repos\arcgis-cloner\src\service_app.py", line 105, in copy_layer_to_folder targetService = fgd.publish(overwrite=True) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Users\me\.virtualenvs\arcgis-cloner-pO5T1BLr\Lib\site-packages\arcgis\gis\__init__.py", line 16273, in publish return job.result() ^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Python312\Lib\concurrent\futures\_base.py", line 449, in result return self.__get_result() ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Python312\Lib\concurrent\futures\_base.py", line 401, in __get_result raise self._exception File "C:\Python312\Lib\concurrent\futures\thread.py", line 58, in run result = self.fn(*self.args, **self.kwargs) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Users\me\.virtualenvs\arcgis-cloner-pO5T1BLr\Lib\site-packages\arcgis\gis\__init__.py", line 16550, in _publish ret = self._portal.publish_item( ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Users\me\.virtualenvs\arcgis-cloner-pO5T1BLr\Lib\site-packages\arcgis\gis\_impl\_portalpy.py", line 509, in publish_item resp = self.con.post(path, postdata, files) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Users\me\.virtualenvs\arcgis-cloner-pO5T1BLr\Lib\site-packages\arcgis\gis\_impl\_con\_connection.py", line 1504, in post return self._handle_response( ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Users\me\.virtualenvs\arcgis-cloner-pO5T1BLr\Lib\site-packages\arcgis\gis\_impl\_con\_connection.py", line 979, in _handle_response self._handle_json_error(data["error"], errorcode) File "C:\Users\me\.virtualenvs\arcgis-cloner-pO5T1BLr\Lib\site-packages\arcgis\gis\_impl\_con\_connection.py", line 1002, in _handle_json_error raise Exception(errormessage) Exception: Unable to Add messages Job Event Unable to Add messages Job Event (Error Code: 500)

Code I'm using

folder_name = f"_testing_{item_properties['title']}_{str(uuid.uuid4())[:4]}" # create new folder to hold new_folder = trg.content.folders.create(folder_name) fgd = new_folder.add(item_properties=item_properties, file=download_result).result() targetService = fgd.publish(overwrite=True)
