MapImageSharingDraft

Summary

The MapImageSharingDraft class allows you to create a service definition draft file (.sddraft) for a map image layer that copies all data or references registered data to ArcGIS Enterprise.

Discussion

To create the MapImageSharingDraft object, use the Map object's getWebLayerSharingDraft method and set the service_type parameter to MAP_IMAGE. The MapImageSharingDraft object can then be configured by setting service level properties and metadata properties. Use the federatedServerUrl property to specify the federated server to which the web layer is published.

Note:

If metadata properties (credits, description, summary, tags, and useLimitations) are not set or consist of empty strings, the web layer item will source metadata from the map or the layer, depending on what is shared. For more information on how web layers source metadata, see Web layer metadata.

After the MapImageSharingDraft object has been configured, it can be saved to a service definition draft file (.sddraft) using the exportToSDDraft method. It can then be staged and shared to ArcGIS Enterprise using the Stage Service and Upload Service Definition tools. For more information, see Introduction to arcpy.sharing.

Code samples are available for the following:

• Publish a map image layer to a portal folder
• Overwrite a map image layer
• Publish a map image layer with an associated feature layer
• Publish a cached map image layer
• Publish a map image layer that draws from existing cache
• Analyze and register a data store
• Set a time zone and configure pooling
• Publish a layer and table
• Create and publish an offline service definition
• Analyze to confirm map is set to allow assignment of unique numeric IDs

Properties

Property	Explanation	Data Type
checkUniqueIDAssignment (Read and Write)	A Boolean that indicates whether your map is analyzed to confirm that the Allow assignment of unique numeric IDs for sharing web layers option in Map Properties is enabled. For more information, see Assign layer IDs.	Boolean
copyDataToServer (Read and Write)	A Boolean that indicates whether the data in your map is copied to the server. A value of True will copy all of the data in your map—including data that is registered with your federated server. A value of False will only copy data that is not registered with your federated server—data registered with your federated server will be referenced by the service.	Boolean
credits (Read and Write)	A string that represents the credits.	String
description (Read and Write)	A string that represents the description.	String
federatedServerUrl (Read and Write)	A string representing the URL to the ArcGIS Enterprise portal federated server. Tip: The federated server URL can also be used in the in_server parameter in the Upload Service Definition tool. The code samples below demonstrate this.	String
offline (Read and Write)	A Boolean that determines whether to use a portal connection. If offline is set to False, you must be signed in to a portal as well as provide an ArcGIS Enterprise portal federated server URL to the federatedServerUrl property to create a service definition draft file (.sddraft) using the exportToSDDraft function. If offline is set to True, a service definition draft file can be created without being signed in to a portal and without populating the federatedServerUrl property.	Boolean
offlineTarget (Read and Write)	A string that determines the target server version to which the service definition will be published. Specifying a version ensures the service definition contains content compatible with your server. This property is only honored if offline is set to True. ENTERPRISE_10x—Content will be compatible with ArcGIS Enterprise 10.9.1 or earlier. This is the default. ENTERPRISE_11—Content will be compatible with ArcGIS Enterprise 11.0 or later.	String
overwriteExistingService (Read and Write)	A Boolean that determines whether to overwrite an existing web layer.	Boolean
portalFolder (Read and Write)	A string that represents the name of an existing portal folder to which you want to publish the web layer. The default folder is your root folder in My Content.	String
serverFolder (Read and Write)	A string that represents the name of a server folder to which you want to publish the service. The default folder is the root folder of the federated server.	String
serverType (Read Only)	Returns a string representing the server type as specified when the sharing draft was created from the getWebLayerSharingDraft function from the map class. The only possible value returned from serverType for a MapImageSharingDraft is FEDERATED_SERVER. A serverType of FEDERATED_SERVER indicates support for sharing to an ArcGIS Enterprise portal federated server.	String
serviceName (Read and Write)	A string that represents the name of the web layer. This is the name people will see and use to identify the service. The name can only contain alphanumeric characters and underscores. No spaces or special characters are allowed. The name cannot be more than 120 characters.	String
summary (Read and Write)	A string that represents the summary.	String
tags (Read and Write)	A string that represents the tags. Multiple tags can be added or separated by a comma or semicolon.	String
useLimitations (Read and Write)	A string that represents the use limitations.	String

Method Overview

Method	Explanation
exportToSDDraft (out_sddraft)	Converts a MapImageSharingDraft to a service definition draft (.sddraft) file.

Methods

exportToSDDraft (out_sddraft)

Parameter	Explanation	Data Type
out_sddraft	A string that represents the path and file name for the output service definition draft (.sddraft) file.	String

Once the MapImageSharingDraft has been configured, it can be saved as a service definition draft (.sddraft) file. It can then be staged and shared to the ArcGIS Enterprise portal federated server using the Stage Service and Upload Service Definition tools.

Code sample

Publish a map image layer to a portal folder

The following script creates a map image layer service definition draft file (.sddraft) for a map and sets metadata properties. The map image layer is published to a folder in ArcGIS Enterprise. Portal information is obtained from the SignInToPortal function.

import arcpy
import os

# Sign in to portal
arcpy.SignInToPortal("https://www.portal.domain.com/webadaptor",
                     "MyUserName", "MyPassword")

# Set output file names
outdir = r"C:\Project\Output"
service_name = "MapImageSharingDraftExample"
sddraft_filename = service_name + ".sddraft"
sddraft_output_filename = os.path.join(outdir, sddraft_filename)
sd_filename = service_name + ".sd"
sd_output_filename = os.path.join(outdir, sd_filename)

# Reference map to publish
aprx = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject(r"C:\Project\World.aprx")
m = aprx.listMaps('World')[0]

# Create MapImageSharingDraft and set metadata, portal folder, and server folder properties
server_type = "FEDERATED_SERVER"
federated_server_url = "https://MyFederatedServer.esri.com/server"
sddraft = m.getWebLayerSharingDraft(server_type, "MAP_IMAGE", service_name)
sddraft.federatedServerUrl = federated_server_url
sddraft.credits = "These are credits"
sddraft.description = "This is description"
sddraft.summary = "This is summary"
sddraft.tags = "tag1, tag2"
sddraft.useLimitations = "These are use limitations"
sddraft.portalFolder = "my folder name"
sddraft.serverFolder = "MyServerFolder"

# Create Service Definition Draft file
sddraft.exportToSDDraft(sddraft_output_filename)

# Stage Service
print("Start Staging")
arcpy.server.StageService(sddraft_output_filename, sd_output_filename)

# Share to portal
print("Start Uploading")
arcpy.server.UploadServiceDefinition(sd_output_filename, federated_server_url)

print("Finish Publishing")

Overwrite a map image layer

The following script overwrites a map image layer. If the service name already exists, the service will be overwritten. Otherwise, a new service will be created.

import arcpy
import os

# Sign in to portal
arcpy.SignInToPortal("https://www.portal.domain.com/webadaptor",
                     "MyUserName", "MyPassword")

# Set output file names
outdir = r"C:\Project\Output"
service_name = "MapImageSharingDraftExample"
sddraft_filename = service_name + ".sddraft"
sddraft_output_filename = os.path.join(outdir, sddraft_filename)
sd_filename = service_name + ".sd"
sd_output_filename = os.path.join(outdir, sd_filename)

# Reference map to publish
aprx = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject(r"C:\Project\World.aprx")
m = aprx.listMaps('World')[0]

# Create MapImageSharingDraft and set overwrite property
server_type = "FEDERATED_SERVER"
federated_server_url = "https://MyFederatedServer.esri.com/server"
sddraft = m.getWebLayerSharingDraft(server_type, "MAP_IMAGE", service_name)
sddraft.federatedServerUrl = federated_server_url
sddraft.overwriteExistingService = True

# Create Service Definition Draft file
sddraft.exportToSDDraft(sddraft_output_filename)

# Stage Service
print("Start Staging")
arcpy.server.StageService(sddraft_output_filename, sd_output_filename)

# Share to portal
print("Start Uploading")
arcpy.server.UploadServiceDefinition(sd_output_filename, federated_server_url)

print("Finish Publishing")

Publish a map image layer with an associated feature layer

The following script creates a map image layer service definition draft (.sddraft) file. It then includes a feature layer and sets feature layer and map image layer properties by modifying the service definition draft file using the xml.dom.minidom standard Python library. The modified service definition draft file is then staged and published to an ArcGIS Enterprise portal federated server. The data store must be already registered on the server for the data to be referenced.

Analyze and register a data store

The following script creates a service definition draft (.sddraft) file for a map image layer. The service definition draft file is analyzed during staging. If analyzer 24011 is returned warning that the data source is not registered with the server, the data store is registered using the AddDataStoreItem function. This script does not create a data store portal item. Creating a data store item is recommended if you are publishing to an ArcGIS Enterprise 10.7.1 or later portal.

Set a time zone and configure pooling

The following script creates a map image layer service definition draft (.sddraft) file. It then sets a time zone for layers with date fields and configures service instance settings by modifying the service definition draft file using the xml.etree.ElementTree and xml.dom.minidom standard Python libraries. The modified service definition draft file is then staged and published to an ArcGIS Enterprise portal federated server. The data store must be already registered on the server for the data to be referenced.

Analyze to confirm map is set to allow assignment of unique numeric IDs

The following script creates a map image layer service definition draft file (.sddraft) that enables the checkUniqueIDAssignment property. The service definition draft file is analyzed during staging. If the map is not set to allow assignment of unique numeric IDs for sharing web layers, analyzer error 00374 is returned and a message is printed. For more information, see Assign layer IDs.
