Getting content from one organization to another, regardless of how the organizations have been deployed, is a fundamental operation confronted by managers when working with Web GIS systems. The API for Python provides a variety of options for moving your Web GIS content, and this session will outline approaches to consider based on the specific item types you need to manage between organizations, and the workflow you’re trying to accomplish. We’ll establish some standard terms around cloning, migration and promotion, take a deep dive into how the clone_items() method works, detailing how it defines and handles item dependencies, 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.
