Programmatically pause/resume collaboration syncs using the arcgis api

[DavidColey]

Hello - does anyone know if there is anyway to pause / resume collaboration syncs using the arcgis api?  Maybe somewhere in the arcgis.gis.admin module?  From the rest api here:

https://developers.arcgis.com/rest/users-groups-and-items/pause/

I've been trying to implement this:

POST /sharing/rest/portals/0123456789ABCDEF/collaborations/3e9d1694351a4b5badef66c7599fced5/workspaces/c3c831f1274a4f228ecd87f1953c6f21/schedule/pause HTTP/1.1
Host: org.arcgis.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-Length: []

f=pjson

but with no success.

Any ideas?

>>> from arcgis.gis import GIS
>>> from arcgis.gis.admin import Collaboration
>>> gis = GIS('https://your.portalsite.here/portal/')
>>> cm = gis.admin.collaborations
>>> c = Collaboration(cm, 'yourCollaborationIDhere')
>>> c.pause_schedule('yourWorkspaceIDhere')

The python code would look something like this

Grabbed from arcgis.gis.admin module | ArcGIS API for Python the collaboration section of the documentation

The command to resume is resume_schedule

Oh hey that's it @valenj88 - thanks for this!  I've got like 13 distributed collaborations where I update data each weekend, but until this latest release of the api I could not find anything on pause / resume. 

The problem has been that each time a collaboration syncs on schedule, it un-authorizes each collaboration feature layers.  And so each day I was having to run an re-authorization script so our layers would re-acquire that green 'authorized' icon . . .

And thanks for reaching out earlier

No worries.  Also if the data is marked "authoritative" (with the green check) in portal, it *should* carry over to AGOL.

[DavidColey]

It may now.  I had not checked since maybe 10.9.1 - but it didn't then.  Could be the way I was doing my collaborations... hosted in my portal (guest), sent to our agol by reference (host)

Ok @valenj88  - here's how I set this up to run in the python IDLE:

try:
    myCollabs = gis.admin.collaborations.list()
    for myCollab in myCollabs:
        #print (myCollab.name + ' - ' + myCollab.id + ' - ' + myCollab.workspaces)
        if (myCollab.name == 'Sarasota County GIS Cadastral'):
            wss = myCollab.workspaces
            for ws in wss:
                for key, value in ws.items(): #need to set up key value pair because workspaces property is a dictionary of items
                    if key == 'id':
                        print (value)
                        myCollab.pause_schedule(value)
except Exception:
    # If an error occurred, print line number and error message
    import traceback, sys
    tb = sys.exc_info()[2]
    e = sys.exc_info()[1]
    print(e.args[0])
    print ("Line %i" % tb.tb_lineno)
    message = message + "\n" + "Line %i" % tb.tb_lineno
    message = message + "\n" + str(e)

Then I'll just set up a try block for each collab I want to pause or resume . . .
