Hello!
I have an ArcGIS Online Hosted Feature Layer, its size is 255 MB, it has attachments with size: 12.53 GB. It's failing to clone (clone_items) due to time out after about 15-20 minutes.
Smaller Feature Layers clone without issues.
Is there a limit to the size of the items we can clone? If there is, is there a way to work around this?
Sample script:
from arcgis.gis import GIS
gis = GIS("https://arcgis.com", "username", "password", expiration=9999)
layer = gis.content.get("featureserviceid")
gis.content.clone_items([layer], "Test Folder")
This is the error I'm getting:
Your request has timed out. : (Error Code: 504)', <Item title:"item_title" type:Feature Layer Collection owner:username>)
File "C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3\Lib\site-packages\arcgis\_impl\common\_clone.py", line 4270, in clone
raise _ItemCreateException(

Hey Dana,
I took a look and saw that a bug (BUG-000120207) had been logged a while ago for this that unfortunately had to be closed as this is a known limit with the ArcGIS API for Python.
As a workaround I suspect that an empty layer with matching schema would need to be created, and then data appended in chunks to try get around the time outs.
Hope that helps,
David
