Figured it out.  I thought I had read that overwrite = True couldn't be used with publishItem and didn't see it in the documentation, but this line seems to work....  result = user.publishItem(fileType="Shapefile", publishParameters=publishParams, itemId=itemId, overwrite = True) ... View more

Well, I have found a work around to this by looping through the shapefiles, zipping them up and publishing them individually instead of all together.  The only problem I am having now is that when the script is rerun, it gets to the arcrest.manageorg.PublishShapefileParameter and throws the error that the service name already exists and thus can not run the user.publishItem.  Does anyone know of a way to delete the hosted feature service first before publishing?  I've tried looking through other scripts but only find ways to delete records within in the feature service and not the entire thing.  Any help would be appreciated. ...

We went ahead and upgraded Server to 10.4.  No problems now, so versions do have to be the same. ... View more

Thank you for your reply.  Both of these examples involve creating an .MXD and thus a service definition.  I was kind of hoping to avoid this.  I already have the shapefile up there from the script that runs addItem().  I don't know if it is possible to do without creating an SD or if that is the route that I need to take. ...

Thank you!  I will see if I can find a machine with 10.2.2 on it! ... View more

Thank you so much!  I was thinking that I may have it in the wrong category. ... View more

Did you ever figure this out?  I am having the same exact problem. ... View more

Hi Kelly, I have a python script that takes an MXD and creates a service definition from it. Then using arcpy.UploadServiceDefinition_server, it is supposed to overwrite the service definition on our ArcGIS Online site.  The script runs on our server that has ArcGIS 10.4.  I have looked and haven't had any success in finding a way to have my python script delete the current service definition and hosted feature service in our content.  I had read that this was a more efficient way of updating rather than relying on the overwrite.  I currently do not have anything in my script to do this --- so no errors.  Is there a way to delete what is currently sitting in our AGOL before the script runs this.....??? arcpy.UploadServiceDefinition_server(UploadSD, My_Hosted_Services, "", "", "FROM_SERVICE_DEFINITION", "", "STARTED", "OVERRIDE_DEFINITION", "SHARE_ONLINE", "PUBLIC", "SHARE_ORGANIZATION","") -Cindy ...

Just to follow up on this, I did get the script working.  It was a matter of adding this piece before the user.exportItem..... admin = arcrest.manageorg.Administration(securityHandler=shAGOL) content = admin.content portal = admin.portals.portalSelf commUsers = portal.users(start=1, num=100) commUsers = commUsers['users'] for commUser in commUsers:                 user = admin.content.users.user(commUser.username)                 for userItem in user.items:                             sItem = userItem.id                             sName = userItem.name                             sType = userItem.type                             sUser = commUser.username                             if sUser == "YakimaStormwater":                                         if sType == "Feature Service": ...

We got it figured out.  It was later on in the coding.  It was a matter of changing the line user = admin.content.users.user(username=item.owner) to user = admin.content.users.user(username=username). It does lead me to another question, though.  The purpose of our python code is to back up the feature layers that others are creating and updating on AGOL.  Right now, the python code looks for a specific ItemID....is there a way to have the code go into a Members content and list all of their feature layers and itemIDs?  This would be ideal since we may not be notified every time someone creates a new layer.  Does that make sense?  I haven't found a script that does it that way. ...
