Migrating ArcGIS Experience Builder from one AGOL to Another

[arc_ticodex]

Hi everyone! I'm currently facing a challenge with migrating an ArcGIS Experience Builder project from one ArcGIS Online (AGOL) organization to another. Strangely, while I successfully migrated an Experience Builder project between AGOL and Enterprise, I'm encountering difficulties replicating the process from AGOL to AGOL. I've tried a couple of methods, such as using the "clone groups" script in Notebooks and exporting/importing JSON via ArcGIS Assistant, but I haven't had success. If any of you have hands-on experience with migrating Experience Builder projects between AGOL organizations, I would be extremely grateful for your insights and advice. Specifically, I'm curious about the methods you have successfully used for migrating Experience Builder projects. Thankss!

I have not personally done this, but it should be possible using the Python API. There was a feature added last year for the specific purpose of transferring an Experience Builder project from one organization to another.

I have been experiencing the same issue. Our local esri office came back to me with this:

A lot of the issues the client encountered have been recently fixed in the latest ArcGIS python api relsease on 25th Sept 2023. It doesn't upgrade automatically with Pro upgrade and needs to run the upgrade code manually (!pip install arcgis  --upgrade). With the latest version 2.2.0, dashboard and ExB migration are now fully supported. Please check the full release note https://developers.arcgis.com/python/guide/release-notes-220/

So it might be due to your python API version.  Unfortunately, I don't have admin access on my computer and I haven't been able to get our IT dept to update it for me yet so I can't confirm as to whether this is a fix.  Might be worth a look?

Hello!

You can perform this migration through ArcGIS Assistant Beta -> https://assistant.esri-ps.com/

Utilize the "Copy Item" option.

Then click on "Add Account" to include the Enterprise or Online account where you want to transfer the content.

Next, choose the target user, folder, and application title.

Click "Copy Item" and wait for the process to complete.

I hope this helps! Please note that this action is specific to the ArcGIS Assistant Beta; the classic version does not have this option for transferring applications from ArcGIS Online to ArcGIS Online.

Hi @Tamiris_alves!

It worked like a charm! Thanks for the solution!
I was unaware that the new assistant had this feature, I was trying to migrate using assistant classic.

Thanks! 😻

While the AGO Assistant will copy the Experience Builder App from one AGOL to another, how can the map data be reset and reconfigured to use the same Experience Builder App?  I have edited the JSON to reset all the sources.  I can "View" the ExB App just fine.  When I try to "Edit" the ExB App the web map does not load.

Also wondering this so we don't have to completely reconfigure all the widgets.
