This example copies all the content owned by a member of one portal (A) to another portal (B). The content ownership from portal A is transferred to the account specified in portal B. This is useful in organizations that have two portals. For example, one for internal and external use or an organization that implements a development and production environment. This script can also be used to move content from ArcGIS Enterprise to ArcGIS Online and vice versa.
You're required to specify the following information when running the script:
- URL used to access the first portal (A). This can be the ArcGIS Web Adaptor URL, for example, https://webadaptorA.domain.com/arcgis or the URL of the machine hosting the portal, for example, https://portalA.domain.com:7443/arcgis. You must include the fully-qualified domain name of the machine when specifying the URL.
- User name and password of an account that has administrative privileges to portal A.
- User name of account that owns the content that will be copied from portal A to portal B, for example, sarah.
- URL used to access the second portal (B). This can be the ArcGIS Web Adaptor URL, for example, https://webadaptorB.domain.com/arcgis or the URL of the machine hosting the portal, for example, https://portalB.domain.com:7443/arcgis. You must include the fully-qualified domain name of the machine when specifying the URL.
- User name and password of an account that has administrative privileges to portal B.
- User name of account that will own the content copied from portal (A) to portal (B), for example, robert.
- Member folder on portal B where the content will be copied. This location is always the root folder (/). Content cannot be copied to a subfolder under the root folder.
The following example copies all the content owned by member sarah of portal A to member robert of portal B:
python copyContent.py https://webadaptorA.domain.com/arcgis admin pass.word owner:sarah https://webadaptorB.domain.com/arcgis admin password robert /
#!/usr/bin/env python
# Requires Python 2.7+
# Sample Usage:
# python copyContent.py <sourcePortal> <sourceAdmin> <sourcePassword>
# <query> <destinationPortal> <destAdmin>
# <destPassword> <destOwner> <destFolder>
