@Luke_Pinner Thanks so much, had the same problem and this did the trick for me. Had tried reinstalling Pro but that didn't solve it. Not on any sort of work or school network as Ryan suggested, so not sure what causes this.  ... View more

Hi @KevinBurke , For this specific project, we are using just one ArcGIS Online hosted feature layer. We are able to complete the download of the offline area. The problem occurs when we go to create a new feature (points, in our case): the contingent values do not appear as 'Recommended' in the dropdown, nor do any of the contingent fields auto-populate when there is only one possible value, based on previous choices. This workflow functions normally when not using an offline area (recommended values appear, certain fields auto-populate). Thanks, ... View more

@heatherdawsorry I forgot the top bit of the script which imports strftime and defines the username and home directory. Edited the original post above to include those at the top. ... View more

@heatherdaw  this is the full script I'm using to create a backup fgdb of a hosted feature layer in my content. It overwrites the existing backup each time. Hope that helps.     from arcgis.gis import GIS from time import strftime gis = GIS("home") username = gis.properties.user.username home_dir = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(os.sep, 'arcgis', 'home')) # Variables itemid = "000abc000abc000abc000abc000abc00" # AGO layer to backup itemtype = "File Geodatabase" # export format itemtags = "backup, fgdb" # item tags itemdesc = strftime("This backup was generated on %m/%d/%Y.") # item description folderlocation = "/" # export folder, / is root folder # Check to see if a backup file geodatabase already exists dataitem = gis.content.get(itemid) #fetch the item to be backed-up backupname = f"{dataitem.title} Backup" #acquire backup name using the source hosted feature layer searchquery = f"title:{backupname} AND owner:{username}" # search query using item title and owner searchresult = gis.content.search(query=searchquery, item_type=itemtype, sort_field='uploaded', sort_order='desc') #search for existing backups print(f'Found {len(searchresult)} existing backups') # Update existing backup item, if it exists if len(searchresult) >= 1: print('Updating existing backup file...') dataitem = gis.content.get(itemid) #fetch the item to be backed-up backupname = f'{dataitem.title} Backup' #create a name for the backup using the existing item name dataitem.export(backupname, itemtype, parameters=None, wait=True, tags=itemtags, snippet = itemdesc, overwrite=True) #export the data to a file geodatabase within the user's content searchquery = f"title:{backupname} AND owner:{username}" # search query using item title and owner searchresult = gis.content.search(query=searchquery, item_type=itemtype, sort_field='uploaded', sort_order='desc') #find the new temporary backup item that was just created backupitem = gis.content.get(searchresult[0].itemid) dwnldname = backupname.replace(" ","_") backupitem.download(save_path=home_dir, file_name=dwnldname + '.zip') searchquery = f"title:{backupname} AND owner:{username}" # search query using item title and owner searchresult = gis.content.search(query=searchquery, item_type=itemtype, sort_field='uploaded', sort_order='asc') #search for the previous backup oldbackup = gis.content.get(searchresult[0].itemid) itemprops = {"snippet":f"{itemdesc}","description":f"{itemdesc}"} oldbackup.update(item_properties=itemprops, data = os.path.join(home_dir, dwnldname, '.zip')) backupitem.delete(dry_run=False) #Can change dry_run to True for testing, won't remove duplicate backups #Create a new backup if no previous backup exists else: print('Creating new backup...') dataitem = gis.content.get(itemid) #fetch the item to be backed-up backupname = f'{dataitem.title} Backup' #create a name for the backup using the existing item name dataitem.export(backupname, itemtype, parameters=None, wait=True, tags=itemtags, snippet = itemdesc) #export the data to a file geodatabase within the user's content ## Move the backup to designated folder, if not root searchquery = f"title:{backupname} AND owner:{username}" # search query using item title and owner searchresult = gis.content.search(backupname, item_type=itemtype) #find the backup that was just created backupitem = gis.content.get(searchresult[0].itemid) #get the itemid of that new item if folderlocation != "/": print('Moving backup to designated folder...') backupitem.move(folder=folderlocation) #move the item to the correct user folder, if user chose somewhere other than the default root     ...

Hello @Anonymous User, I saw that the ArcGIS API for Python 2.0.0 documentation has an argument for service_name included with to_featurelayer. This isn't available in previous versions of the API however, and ArcGIS Online Notebooks 6.0 is still using ArcGIS API for Python 1.9.1. Any idea when Notebooks 7.0 for ArcGIS Online is expected, and if it will use version 2.0.0? ... View more

I'm running into a similar issue but with the service_name parameter. Haven't figured it out yet. Following the documentation here: https://developers.arcgis.com/python/api-reference/arcgis.features.toc.html?highlight=to_featurelayer#arcgis.features.GeoAccessor.to_featurelayer     sdf.spatial.to_featurelayer(title='My Feature Layer Title', tags=['my','tags'], service_name='My_Feature_Layer_Title')       TypeError: to_featurelayer() got an unexpected keyword argument 'service_name'   It works if I remove the service_name argument, but then the name of my service is a randomly generated string. Not sure how else to define it.   Maybe because I'm using a Spatially Enabled Dataframe instead of the deprecated Spatial Dataframe? ... View more

Agreed, categories are a great step in the right direction but could definitely use some of these additional features, especially Anthony's second point, as well as being able to read/edit members categories via the ArcGIS API for Python: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-online-ideas/add-new-member-categories-as-a-property-to-arcgis/idi-p/1156929 ...

Adding additional endpoints/layers to a hosted feature service in ArcGIS Online would be very useful and help save time and cut down on clutter by combining data. Feature services often need to change as projects evolve. ... View more

Thank you both @fklotz and @JoëlHempenius3 , works great and saved me some work as well. I will add that I was getting an error when it hit certain web maps that contained uploaded shapefiles (Classic Map Viewer; and which have no url). To get around it I just wrapped Joëls whole bit into a try/except clause. I'm sure there's a more elegant way to handle that issue but this works and I can then investigate the map manually at that point if I suspect the layer I'm searching for is in there.   try: for lyr in lyrs: if 'url' in lyr and not found_it: found_it = lyr_to_find.lower() in lyr.url.lower() elif 'layerType' in lyr and lyr.layerType =="GroupLayer": for sublyr in lyr.layers: if 'url' in sublyr and not found_it: found_it = lyr_to_find.lower() in sublyr.url.lower() except Exception as error: print(f'{item.title} led to an error') print(error) display(item) continue   ...

This would be nice for admins, maybe even give them a threshold limit that can be set. For example if the admin wanted to know any time a user uploads a hosted feature layer larger than 5GB. Could probably be done with the ArcGIS API for Python, but a built in solution would be great. ... View more
