Thanks for pointing that out, Jill. Does the bug include the issue with doing it through the Python API? Or any thoughts on why the code won't work with valid SDE and AGS files? ... View more

Folks, I was reminded of this thread when stumbling across a similar one - here. Turns out that while I would've preferred to be able to update references from one SDE connection file (with embedded credentials) to another and do so programmatically, simply running an update on [user] and [password] was the quickest. conProp = layer.connectionProperties #depending on what all you're updating, you may have additional #keys you need to address #Examples: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/arcpy/mapping/updatingandfixingdatasources.htm conProp['connection_info']['user'] = newuser conProp['connection_info']['password'] = newpassword layer.updateConnectionProperties(layer.connectionProperties, conProp)‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ...

Hey Clint, thanks for posting. I had virtually the same issue and started this thread a while back. In the end, I settled for your approach as well. That's so ESRI though! Instead of letting you replace one reference to an SDE file with a reference to another SDE file, they tell you to hardcode a password into the script. I guess you could just prompt for a password during execution. Somewhere I also have a snipped for reading in a password without showing it. Could be that it only works with arcgis module though. - Thanks again. ... View more

Well, thanks for confirming. The link didn't work for me, I think because it's your "myesri". But that's ok. At least, I can focus on finding a usable workaround. ... View more

Glad to hear I'm not the only one. Thought I might be doing something wrong. Same behavior. I wanted to publish to a folder besides root and tried. inSdFile = sd_output_filename inServer = myserver inFolderType = 'EXISTING' inFolder = 'Test' arcpy.UploadServiceDefinition_server(inSdFile, inServer, inFolderType, inFolder)‍‍‍‍‍‍ Well that fails miserably... ExecuteError: Failed to execute. Parameters are not valid. ERROR 000800: The value is not a member of default. Failed to execute (UploadServiceDefinition). ‍‍‍ Leaving out all the parameters except for sdfile and server, works fine. So connection is working. Similarly, trying to create a new folder bombs with the same error. inSdFile = sd_output_filename inServer = myserver inFolderType = 'NEW' inFolder = 'Test2' ‍‍‍‍ This is from arcpy.UploadServiceDefinition_server.__doc__ in_folder_type {String}: The folder type used to determine the source for the folder. The default is to get a folder from the service definition. You can also choose to get a list of folders already existing on the specified online server, or you can specify a new folder to be created once you share this web layer. * NEW-Creates a new folder. * EXISTING-Specifies a folder that exists on the server. * FROM_SERVICE_DEFINITION-The folder already specified in the service definition. This is the default. in_folder {String}: Use this option to specify the folder for the web layer. The default is to use the folder specified in the service definition. If you chose New folder type, use this parameter to enter a new folder name. If you chose Existing folder type, you can choose from the existing folders on the server. There are some references to Error 00800, but nothing that helped with this: Description The keyword used is not a member of the list of acceptable keywords. Solution Change the keyword to a member of the list provided. For more information on what each keyword signifies, review the tool's help. I'm thinking this somehow is a bug. Interestingly the ESRI online documentation even's got the name of the method wrong, which mirrors the Error message above. Maybe the used the wrong keywords in there somewhere.

Thanks, Jonathan - good information. ... View more

Thanks for the clarifications. I had read the BLOB bit somewhere but I guess my own screenshot should've alerted me that the files go in the directory and only meta data goes in DB. Yes, exactly. I was wondering how 100K's or 1M's of items would perform. Thinking now about all the necessary directory under the Content folder, that makes me even more curious. Say you have a 100K features, and each one has 10-100 documents... In the past, I've been told that if you want to link from spatial feature to related documents via href in the attributes, the associated files would have to live on the ArcGIS server ... so wondering if linking to Portal items would work better. Anyway, it's not something I'm about to implement. more brainstorming. ...

Okay, finally got it working. As Tanu suggested, you can't do this without specifying a Layout Templates folder. The more I think about that makes sense. You want the widget calling the print service to have a place to search for which templates are available. Having left the field blank, I was defaulting to the built-in ESRI templates. What I was missing after setting up the folder was to uncheck the "Copy All Data". After unchecking and resharing, it all worked. All in all, the process is not as convoluted as the documentation suggests. After doing it a few times, it almost starts making sense. The documentation could be better. ... View more

Tanu, thanks again! I think we're getting somewhere.. clearly the custom template is not being added. 1) No. Custom template is not an item in the choice list. 2) No. Results set does not include custom template. 3) I'm running simple JSAPI app outside or WAB or Portal Must still be doing something wrong during publishing. ...

Okay, I really thought the registering a folder with Server wasn't necessary of the template was to be stored in Portal. That was my interpretation of the documentation referenced above. I've gone ahead and created/registered a server folder, and then identified that folder as the layout template folder during publishing. But all to no avail. I'm only seeing the default template when the Print widget opens. Is it something I need to configure differently when I instantiate the widget in my JS code? Will take another look at the API documentation. ... View more
