How do I change webmaps used in a web mapping application?

[SteveLi]

web_mapping_app_item.get_data() will give me a json object, which has a map property:

'map': {'3D': False,   '2D': True,   'position': {'left': 0, 'top': 40, 'right': 0, 'bottom': 0},   'itemId': 'xxxxxxx',   'mapOptions': {}},


I need to update the map's itemId property of the web mapping application, how do I do that?

Hi,

Just like how you get the item data, you can do a update as well. See link below.

Please mark as correct if this helps you so it may help others as well.

arcgis.gis module — arcgis 1.8.1 documentation
