Export map layers to KMZ - not using the Extract Data tool in the Analysis widget

Hello,

Is there any method to export the map layers in the WAB to KMZ other than using the Extract Data tool in the Analysis widget?

I am trying to figure out a method that lets me export my map to KMZ file but not using the “Extract Data” esri out of the box tool.

The reason on this:

  • 1- The Extract tool doesn’t work with any feature layer, the layer should be a hosted feature layer. In my case I want to export features from a service hosted in my ArcGIS server.
  • 2- I want this tool to be available for all of my app users regardless the permissions/ levels.

I am thinking of using a geoprocessing service that uses the “Map to KML” tool in the arcmap, but the main issue it that this tool takes an MXD as an input and I think it will not work on the app builder.

 

 

Thanks a lot,

Did you ever figure this out?  I have a web app that executes routing and LOS tools and I want to export the results of these tools to a kml/kmz file.

I end up sharing "layer to kml" tool as a geoprocessing tool and it worked, but I would love if there is a native tool that does the job

I'm actually trying to export results of my geoprocessing tools; but only layers that show up are the map services and not sure what to do about the "Save result in" field.  Putting a local folder yields "Value entered is not valid".

Would you be willing to share the code you used to make this layer to KML tool. i am struggling to make this myself.

Thank you for your time on this. Please let me know if you have any questions
