Properties

This task inherits the following properties from ENVITask:

COMMUTE_ON_DOWNSAMPLE

INPUT_VECTOR (required)

Specify the input shapefile.

ITEM_NAME (optional)

Specify a string with the name for the published resource. This name will appear in the "Content" on the server. You can only edit the item name after it is created on the server. If you do not specify ITEM_NAME, the default name will be the input shapefile filename. If the item name already exists on the server, the task will fail.

ITEM_URL

The URL of the published resource.

PASSWORD (required)

Specify an ENVISecureString object representing the encrypted version of the ArcGIS password to use. This task has a hidden parameter named PUBLIC_KEY that must be used to correctly encrypt the plaintext password. See the Example for details.

PORTAL_URL (required)

Specify a string with the URL of the ArcGIS Portal (i.e., https://username.maps.arcgis.com or https://arcgis.com). If you set the URL to arcgis.com, the shapefile will upload to ArcGIS Online.

PUBLISH (required)

If this property is set to true, the shapefile will be uploaded and published to a feature layer that can be viewed using an Esri map layer. If false, the shapefile will be uploaded but you cannot view it in a map layer.

USERNAME (required)

Specify a string with the ArcGIS login user name with publishing permissions. The user name is case-sensitive in ArcGIS.
