Hi, @David_Brooks
You can try this Python script that involves exporting a hosted feature layer from AGOL to a local File Geodatabase (GDB) and then uploading that GDB back to AGOL. Let's break down each block of the code:
Block 1: Connecting to ArcGIS Online and User Input
- The outputFolder variable stores the local path where the GDB will be extracted.
- The username variable captures user input for their ArcGIS Online username.
- The GIS class is used to create a connection to ArcGIS Online using the provided URL and username.
Block 2: Exporting Hosted Feature Layer from AGOL
- The item_id variable holds the ID of the hosted feature layer to be downloaded from AGOL.
- AGOLitem is a reference to the hosted feature layer item on AGOL.
- The export method is used to export the hosted feature layer to a GDB named Temp_FGB. The export process is waited for (using wait=True), and then there's a delay of 10 seconds before proceeding.
Block 3: Reconnecting to ArcGIS Online or the new portal
This block of code re-establishes a connection to ArcGIS Online with a different URL.
Block 4: Uploading GDB to ArcGIS Online
- data_path stores the path to the ZIP file containing the GDB exported in the earlier block.
- zip_properties define the type of item being added (a File Geodatabase in this case).
- add_fgdb represents the newly uploaded GDB item on ArcGIS Online
Block 5: Sharing the GDB Item
This block shares the uploaded GDB item with a specific group identified by its ID ("32cc4d232e45464d8c536a076c2f0d70"). Replace this ID with the ID of the group you want to share the information.
#Block 1: Connecting to ArcGIS Online and User Input
outputFolder=r"C\Test_fGDB" #replace this with the path where the GDB will be extracted to
username = input("Input your username: ")
gis = GIS("https://arcgis.com", username) #replace these with the credentials of your source portal
#Block 2: Exporting Hosted Feature Layer from AGOL
item_id='f8f66537f7504bc1b2bd4585e83c13ec' #replace with the service_ID of the hosted feature layer to download
GDBname = "Temp_FGB" #name of the temporary GDB to be saved in ArcGIS Online
AGOLitem = gis.content.get(item_id)
print ("Exporting Hosted Feature Layer...")
AGOLitem.export(GDBname,'File Geodatabase', parameters=None, wait='True')
time.sleep(10)#add 10 seconds delay to allow export to complete
search_fgb = gis.content.search(query = "title:{}*".format(GDBname )) #find the newly created file geodatabase in ArcGIS online
fgb_item_id = search_fgb[0].id
fgb = gis.content.get(fgb_item_id)
fgb.download(save_path=outputFolder) #downloads the fgdb on the path you selected
#Block 3: Reconnecting to ArcGIS Online
from arcgis.gis import GIS
import getpass
username = input("Input your username: ")
gis = GIS("https://esp-esri-co.maps.arcgis.com", username) #replace these with the credentials of your target portal
#Block 4: Uploading GDB to ArcGIS Online
import os
from arcgis.gis import GIS
data_path = (r"C:\Users\vurrego\Documents\Test_fGDB\Temp_FGB.zip") #Where the fgdb is saved
zip_properties = {'type':'File Geodatabase'} #type of the document you want to upload
add_fgdb = gis.content.add(item_properties = zip_properties, data = data_path) #Adds the fgdb on your portal content
print("The fGDB is uploaded")
#Block 5: Sharing the GDB Item
add_fgdb.share(groups="32cc4d232e45464d8c536a076c2f0d70") #replace with the id of the group you want to share
I hope this will be useful for you!
Have a great day.
