I am trying to add a layer that I have created from a map service. The layer is easily added to a web map using the online MapViewer in my org account. The map layer consists of multiple service layers. The result is as seen below:
When I try to programatically add it to the web map using add_layer, I get the following:
It breaks out all the layers individually from the service itself. Code is below for creating the layer from the service and creating the webmap and adding the layer to it.
# Internal modules go here
def createLayer(layerProperties, thumbnailPath, itemType='Map Service', layerOwner=None, layerFolder=None):
layer = False
sr = gis.content.search("title:"+layerProperties['title'],item_type=itemType)
if (len(sr) > 1):
print("Multiple Layers Found!")
return False
else:
if (len(sr) == 1):
print("Layer Exists!")
item = gis.content.get(sr[0].id)
item.delete()
print("Creating Layer...")
layer = gis.content.add(item_properties=layerProperties, thumbnail=thumbnailPath, owner=layerOwner, folder=layerFolder)
return layer
layerError = False
# Create Wildlife layer from service
svcName_Wildlife = "WLD_ProvLandScapeViewer_WM84"
thumbnail_Wildlife = os.path.join(thumbURL,svcName_Wildlife+'.jpg')
layerProperties_Wildlife = {

print("Wildlife Layer Created Successfully!")# Create an empty web map with a default basemap
