Is it possible to change the Max Record Count on an portal ArcGIS hosted Feature service?

[mansimittal1]

We can modify the MaxRecordCount of published feature layer on arcgis server using the code mentioned on the following url:

http://server.arcgis.com/en/server/latest/administer/linux/example-edit-service-properties.htm

Can we use the same code to modify feature count of feature layer published on portal ArcGIS?

You should be able to update it through the Server Admin API:

I want to edit it through arcpy. is it possible to edit through arcpy ?

No, arcpy doesn't have any modules to send http/https requests.  You'll have to use urllib, urllib2 and JSON.  Get the JSON of the service through the Admin API, update the property, and then pass the updated JSON to the /edit endpoint to edit the service.  Here's a sample to get you started.  I just noticed that there are two maxRecordCount values, one for the layer and one seemingly for the whole service, I'll see which what happens when either is updated.

Okay.I tried this code and the error it gave me was unable to start the service.By any chance this error could occur due to providing wrong parameters of the published service?

The link to the code you gave worked.Before I was giving one wrong parameter that's why code was not working. Thanks!
