Hold that thought, buster! That's some pretty JSON but not at all like the kind I was looking for... which was: { "mapOptions": {}, "operationalLayers": [], "baseMap": [], " exportOptions": {}, "layoutOptions": {} } What's going on here?!

I am going to boldly answer Part 2 of my own question from last month (last year). If you have a web map stored as an item in Portal, you can get a JSON representation of it using the following URL: https://<yourwebadaptor>.<yourdomain>/portal/sharing/rest/content/items/<youritemsnearlyendlessandgibberishishID?f=pjson‍

Good question: I am deleting them through Portal interface. Select and delete. Which in the case of item referencing map services typically wipes our the associated service on the federated GIS server. That's what I was seeing trying one at a time, but it didn't work when deleting in batch. Will keep an eye on it.

Anyone seen Portal just crunching to a halt when deleting multiple (5-10) items at once? I tried it and it just wouldn't complete. Just hangs up with a "Deleting..." window still open. When I X out of that window and then delete items one by one, it takes only seconds. I've used the Python API before to update and delete items. Never had any issues with that.

I'm searching 'Enterprise Content". I'm an admin and should be able to see everything there, right? Good point though about permissions - I'll review if all the items in questions are shared with the organization. Clearly, I understand that 'tags' should enhance searching but I figured words in the item title would be primary for searching. Thanks, Robert!

So we're living in the age of 'Search'. Everything around us offers intelligent search capabilities using intellisense, auto-complete, suggestions... Why then is my Portal Search so dumb? Can this be configured somewhere ?? Say I have items including a map service called: My_Favorite_Buildings_in_Town and a web map called: Favorite Search for Town Buildings Searching by "M" won't return anything. Searching for "My_" will return the first map services but searching for "My_B" won't. "Favorite" will find the map service but "Favorite_B" won't. This has nothing to do with tags since this layer has only the tag "test". Searching by "Town" on the other hand only returns the web map and not even "in_Town" will the map services. "Town*" prompts me that Wildcard searches aren't supported but returns only the web map. I'm sure there is some secret logic here. My question is: can this be tweaked? I know there are ways to play with the indexes for items but will that help?

Thanks for the feedback, Joel. Will have to read that a couple of times to extract goodies. Would love to pick your brain some time on some of these matters. Really appreciate your lengthy contribution here!!

Thanks, Dan... I'll check it out. Camera.extent was a good start. Even easier, it appears, will be to just use camera.X/camera.Y.

Haha, so simple. While I'm excited about the prospect (future) of more direction integration with Jupyter Notebooks, for mere troubleshooting purposes in the awful Python window in Pro, Bruce's +/- hint is a lifesaver!

‎01-07-2020

Totally agree. Having map and layout synch up automatically should be seamless.

‎01-07-2020

Looks like it may now be handled using the Camera—ArcPy | ArcGIS Desktop and mf.camera.setExtent(<extent>) or mf.camera.getExtent()‍‍‍‍‍

Is there anything like it the arcpy that ships with Pro? It's certainly not in... arcpy.mp‍

I missed all the drumroll action, I guess. But it was about time,. To me there have been a number of reasons to want to migrate sooner. I just enjoy working in the Jupyter environment and doing updates and dependency management with conda. Although the tool for managing separate versions have improved, I have found it only confusing to remember what version of arcpy to use for what. So let's embrace 3.x for good. That being said, I'm sure next time I'm at an ESRI gig, someone will crack open 2.7 and start coding...

Now, I'm just as curious as you are. I'll let you know if I find anything else.

‎12-31-2019

This is pretty confusing to read... why don't you stick with the pattern: filename = "myfile" directoryname = r"\\mydirectory\mysubdirectory" fullpath = os.path.join(directoryname,filename)‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ That's not only easier to read but avoids all this concatenating of filenames and folder names and "\\". I'm not surprised something is ending up in the wrong folder.
