I'm trying to register a geodatabase with an ArcGIS server using a Python script but there is very little documentation on how to do it.The script I have at the moment is:# Function to register a geodatabase with an ArcGIS Server
def registerGeodatabase(server, port, geodatabase, adminUser, adminPass, token=None):
addCustMsg("Registering geodatabase : " + geodatabase)
# Get and set the token
if token is None:
token = gentoken(server, port, adminUser, adminPass)
prop_dict = { "type": "egdb",
"path": "/enterpriseDatabases/" + geodatabase,
"id": "",
"clientPath": ""
}
wrapper_dict = { "item": prop_dict }
wrapper_encode = urllib.urlencode(wrapper_dict)
print wrapper_encode
create = "http://{}:{}/arcgis/admin/data/registerItem?token={}&f=json".format(server, port, token)
status = urllib2.urlopen(create, wrapper_encode).read()
if 'success' in status:
arcpy.SetParameter(6, True)
else:
arcpy.SetParameter(6, False)
arcpy.AddError(status)
return
From registering a geodatabase to the ArcGIS server using the ArcGIS manager I have worked out I need to upload the database connection file using:Register Item - http://server:port/arcgis/admin/uploads/register
Upload Part - http://server:port/arcgis/admin/uploads/<itemID>/uploadPart
Commit Item - http://server:port/arcgis/admin/uploads/<itemID>/commit
The database connection file will have an itemID to uniquely identify it, how to I reference the database connection file in the RegisterDataItem REST call:http://server:port/arcgis/admin/data/registerItem
item={
"path": "<path>",
"type": "<datadir|folder|fgdb|egdb|dataset>",
"id": "<id>",
"clientPath": "<client-path>"
}
Using the ArcGIS Manager to register the geodatabase suggests it extracts the contents of the uploaded database connection file into a string but I can't find how this is done.Any suggestions?
