Hey there -
I am building a Jupyter notebook to help us QC before deleting Portal items. These pages (Managing your content | ArcGIS for Developers ; How To: Find dependencies in Portal for ArcGIS using ArcGIS API for Python ) provide the basics and it seems pretty straightforward. However, when I use item.dependent_to on a map layer I know is used in multiple webmaps and apps (e.g. our 'Boundaries' layer), I only get a count of items, not their IDs in the 'list' item.
The code in the notebook (note that 'source' is the gis connected to in code not shown):
item = source.content.get('5055********') #Boundaries map layer, for demo
print(item.title)
if (item.dependent_to()['total'] == 0):
print("This item has nothing dependent upon it.")
elif (item.dependent_to()['total'] > 0):
print("This item is a dependency of these items:\n{}".format(item.dependent_to()))
The output:
Boundaries This item is a dependency of these items: {'total': 7, 'start': 1, 'num': 7, 'nextStart': -1, 'list': []}
When I use the "dependent_upon" method for a webmap, the list results are populated:
Transmission Basic Web Map This item is dependent upon these items: {'total': 2, 'start': 1, 'num': 2, 'nextStart': -1, 'list':
[{'dependencyType': 'id', 'id': 'd9157****'},
{'dependencyType': 'url', 'url': 'https://services.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Topo_Map/MapServer'}]}
What I would like is for the 'list' results from 'dependent_to' to also be populated. Does anyone know why that isn't happening, or how to make that happen?
Note that we are using ArcGIS Enterprise and not AGOL, currently on 10.6.1.
Thanks!
