Transfer Expereince Builder to another organization

[edward33]

I am needing to transfer my experience builder to another ArcGIS organization. I have tried both ArcGIS Online Assistant and the API code from the blog post: https://community.esri.com/t5/learn-arcgis-documents/how-to-copy-content-from-one-arcgis-online-acco...

I have used the code to transfer other content (web maps, web app builder, and survey123 forms) with success. I am wondering if there is something extra that needs to be added?

The error I get is:

("Failed to create Web Experience: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\\\Users\\\\......... , None)

I searched for the title on that page and found this article.  I think this is what we need.

Thanks for this! Has anyone had success with these new classes? We’ve attempted a couple of clones and it seems to only work on the most basic ExBs. Complicated ExBs transfer over but the data sources are broken. We are on Kubernetes which is not compatible with AGO Assistant so we can’t update the config.json post clone.

We will be attempting to move our somewhat complicated and intertwined ExBs from AGOL to Portal and were hoping this would work for us.  Fortunately, we're not on Kubernetes and I am familiar with AGO Assistant, but is a bit concerning.  I will update how our process goes once completed, which should be in a couple of weeks.  If I have any additional insight, I will provide what I can.

Is there any way to overwrite an ExB migrated from one portal to the other (retaining the item ID in the destination portal rather than making a new copy of the ExB)?  We'd like to do this so we can work in a dev portal and push things to a prod portal without having to do custom builds for all our ExBs.  Or is some other workflow recommended?

Hi Jasmine - thanks for this insight - any updates on this? I've built a fairly complex ExB app for a GIS diploma program on my school AGOL organization account and am hoping to copy the whole thing over to my employer's Enterprise Portal.

Unfortunately, we were not able to test this process.  We are in the process of rebuilding the the apps and copying our settings from the AGOL version to the Portal version.  Our Professional Services team said that if we wanted to try it, we'd need to find an employee fluent in Python.  Since another comment in this thread stated that their complicated apps struggled to transfer completely, we decided that it would take less time to rebuild the apps.  We want to avert potential conversion errors and to have the app in use within our expected timeframe.  Hopefully, the team will be able to solve those transfer issues in a future iteration of the code.

I have spent this week talking to ESRI support and their are known bugs for cloning all apps with the clone.items() function.

I have been told there is still no current work around or other functions that could be used on cloning Apps and these bugs will be addressed in the ArcGIS API Python 2.4 release. Which they do not have an official release date for but possibly October 2024.  

Comments in this article from years ago mentioned 2.2 would fix this issue, which it did not.

To me this makes all the documentation out there on cloning items irrelevant.

@KeitherPerkinsWSB , could you please share the bug number from Esri Support, making sure we address it in Python API 2.4? Thanks!
