Example to copy portal content

[PhilipHughes]

trying to used the example listed in the site,  there a few typo errors that obvious however I getting a traceback error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "copy_to_mgq.py", line 398, in <module>
    target.content.create_folder(folder, user)
  File "C:\Continuum\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\arcgis\gis.py", line 1665, in create_folder
    if self._portal.get_folder_id(owner_name, folder) is None:
  File "C:\Continuum\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\arcgis\_impl\portalpy.py", line 2192, in get_folder_id
    if fldr['title'].upper() == folder_name.upper():  # Force both strings to upper case for comparison
AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'upper'

This is from the line "target.content.create_folder(folder, user)"  am guessing this a problem in the esri code

Philip, we have fixed this error. It would be a while before the site is updated, meanwhile, you can check out the updated sample on github arcgis-python-api/clone_portal_users_groups_and_content.ipynb at dev · Esri/arcgis-python-api · GitH...

Hi Philip, You can do to this link and save the file with extension (.ipynb) to download it:

The download the samples button is not for downloading the particular sample.

Thank you,  got the script,  now running, next problem is

when copying item

           target_item = target.content.add(item_properties, data_file, thumbnail_file,
                                             metadata_file, source_item.owner, folder_name)

Getting occasional error

HTTP error 413: Request Entity Too Large

Is this fixed or is there a constant that can be set.

Also getting an error copying item

invalid json  in 'text' parameter

What's the json being passed in the text parameter. You can check its validity using the tool at https://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/

This is the problem,  I am trying to run one of the ESRI samples that copies from one portal to another.  I will have to try and modify code to see if I can dump the data.
