Description: This custom transformer is designed to streamline the process of publishing or overwriting map image layers in Enterprise Portal directly from an ArcGIS Pro Project (APRX). The transformer works by referencing the specified APRX file, generating local service definition drafts (SD drafts) for the layers in the map, and then publishing map image layers in the portal. If publishing all layers in the map to one service, the users should specify a service name. Otherwise, the transformer uses the names of the layers in the contents pane of the map. If overwriting existing map image layers, to ensure a successful update, the layers in your ArcGIS Pro project must be named exactly the same as the hosted layers you intend to update.
In summary, this process automates the creation of SD drafts and uses those to publish to your portal, applying schema changes and updating data, making sure your hosted layers stay current with the latest data from your APRX file. This is ideal for maintaining synchronized, up-to-date services between your local APRX project and hosted map image layers.
Use Cases/Examples
Example:
Use this transformer to update hosted map image layers after modifying data or schema within your ArcGIS Pro project. Ideal for organizations needing to regularly push updates to portal feature services.
