Sample for publishing a geodatabase?

[mshihadeh]

I am new to Python, and am trying to write a script that I can add to my task scheduler to zip, upload, and publish a geodatabase to AGOL. In the examples here, all items have been added using the simple addItem, but my geodatabase exceeds the maximum size for this method. It is likely that I will need to use uploadByParts, but I am having a bit of trouble figuring out how to go about this (again, very new to Python). I was hoping someone could add a sample of this code for me. It would be much, much appreciated!

Use the add item function and set multipart to true

Thanks, I've set multipart to true and am successfully uploading the geodatabase, so thank you for that. However, I am now having a problem getting the proper publish parameters. Analyze and analyze parameters is set up nicely to return the base parameters for a csv that can be passed directly to publish, but I can't seem to find anything to do the same with a file geodatabase. I tried using the csv analysis and force a fileGeodatabase fileType, but not surprisingly, it does not work. Any suggestions?

You don't use analyze, that is only for CSV.

For publishing FGDB, use the PublishFGDBParameter class.

I realize analyze is for CSV files, but there is nothing comparable to this for geodatabases, as I mentioned. Analyze retrieves the publish parameters for a CSV file to be passed to PublishCSVParameters, most importantly having layerInfo set up correctly. Similarly, I need to retrieve this information for the geodatabase, so I can pass layerInfo and other parameters to PublishGDBParameters, but I do not see a method for retrieving this data so that it is in the proper format. Am I missing something?

Sample below.

import arcrest    
if __name__ == "__main__":
    username = ""
    password = ""
    sh = arcrest.security.AGOLTokenSecurityHandler(username, password)
    admin = arcrest.manageorg.Administration(securityHandler=sh)
    content = admin.content
    user = content.users.user()

    ip = arcrest.manageorg.ItemParameter()
    ip.title = "gridtest234wefrgts324e8r09"
    ip.type = "File Geodatabase"
    ip.tags = "fgdb,code"
    ip.description = "fgdb item"
    ip.snippet = ip.description
    ip.archiveSelect = "filegeodatabase"
    item = user.addItem(itemParameters=ip,
                        filePath=r"C:\temp\grid.gdb.zip")

    ppFGDB = arcrest.manageorg.PublishFGDBParameter(name="fgdbcode",
                                                    layerInfo={"capabilities":"Query"},
                                                   description="item.description",
                                                   copyrightText="NA")
    res = user.publishItem(fileType="filegeodatabase", publishParameters=ppFGDB,
                           itemId=item.id, wait=True)
