Content Management using ArcGIS API for Python: Cloning and Migrating Content | #EsriDevSummit2024

Moving content between organizations is a fundamental task confronted by Web GIS managers. The ArcGIS API for Python provides a variety of options for doing so based on the specifics of your organization and your desired workflow. In this session, we’ll establish some standard terms around cloning, migration, and promotion, take a deep dive into how the clone_items() method works, and briefly discuss migrating group content. We’ll conclude with best practices for working with specific item types and troubleshooting strategies when items may not clone or migrate as expected. 📚 Resources ============= 📄 Slides: https://static.rainfocus.com/esri/24epcdev/sess/1699159278460001NeSs/SPDF/Content_Management_using_ArcGIS_API_for_Python_Cloning_and_Migrating_Content_1709331178337001vKTF.pdf 📙 Notebooks: https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-python-api/tree/conference_talks/talks/DevSummit2024/Cloning_and_Migrating_Content 📚 Documentation: https://developers.arcgis.com/python/ Questions?
