Hi, I use scripts (using arcrest) to zip my hosted features and download them. The zips are placed in the 'my content' folder and have names in the form ddmm_hhmm_featurename__layername.zip All works well except for two feature layers; these are zipped correctly and visible in 'my content' but cannot be downloaded and a HTTP error 400 'bad request' is logged. Since these two have the longest names of my batch, 46 and 54 characters, I suspect there is a maximum request length for the post I make. Has anyone seen this error before when requesting from the agol? Does anyone know of a maximum? I am led to believe the maximum post length is a setting in the webserver but I might be mistaken. regards, Bert ... View more

Some of my collector users have been creating records with attachments in hosted feature XX while these belong in hosted feature YY. I'm using a basic license so I can't edit the hosted features. Download/merge/republish is not an option. Is there a way/workflow to copy records and attachments from hosted feature layer XX to hosted feature layer YY? ... View more

I would like to identify the devices my endusers use. It would help me to troubleshoot when (real-life example) an enduser has collector on his iPhone6/iPad Mini AND Android device simultaneous. Another example would be to check if an intern accesses our data from other than the designated devices. Other software (filemaker) has capabilities to by obtain a deviceID from the ipad/iphone on which the software is installed. Can this be done? ... View more

Hi All, The last couple of months have been an education. Developing -amongst others- a way to backup our online data including attachments. I didn't know much about python, not much about agol and I barely had heard about REST. I want to share my solution here because I hope people can benefit from it. Everything you need to fill in yourself starts with 'my_' The attachend script scans through the arcgis online hosted feature services, then exports and downloads a zipped file geodatabase per layer containing attachments if attachments are present. I'm very happy with that because my basic arcmap license doesn't allow me to connect to agol and make a 'local copy for editing' when attachements are present. Also this script works when our licensemanager is offline or depleted. It is based on work from Jake Skinner and Andrew Chapowski; Thanks Jake and thanks Andrew!. It's not a neat script although I use comments to explain a bit and there is a logfile of sorts. It's not 'pythonesque', 'pythonese', 'oop' or whatever. I feel more comfortable using IF: than TRY: I use way to many modules, so I'm sure real developers out there can rewrite the script to half it's current size while outperforming this 10 to 1 I've been struggling with getting through our  companies proxy and at the moment I am still not able to get the second part working over a proxy, without a proxy all is fine. Our IT has come my way and later this week I'll get a firewall rule and the script will run without a proxy. (thank you IT guys!) So, have fun! Should you have any questions feel free to ask. ...
