Share Indoor Positioning Data Service (Indoor Positioning)

Summary

Publishes an Indoor Positioning Data Service to ArcGIS Enterprise or ArcGIS Online. An Indoor Positioning Data Service contains the data required for enabling indoor positioning. It is used by the IndoorsLocationDataSource objects of the ArcGIS Maps SDKs to compute an estimated position.

Usage

• The IPS Positioning Datasets parameter value is a polygon feature class created by the Create IPS Data Model tool.

• The IPS Dataset Name parameter value can be selected from the available names of the datasets in the IPS Positioning Datasets parameter value. The dataset names are stored as feature attributes in the IPS Positioning Datasets parameter value.

• The Sharing Level parameter is based on user permissions. The available options are Owner, Organization, and Everyone (public) .

• To update an existing Indoor Positioning Data Service on the portal, check the Update an Existing Indoor Positioning Data Service parameter.

  Note:

  The Title parameter value must match the name of an existing Indoor Positioning Data Service on the signed-in portal that the current user has permissions to update. When updating an existing Indoor Positioning Data Service, the following parameters are hidden:

  • Folder
  • Sharing Level
  • Group Sharing

ShareIndoorPositioningDataService example 1 (Python window)

The following Python window script demonstrates how to use the ShareIndoorPositioningDataService function to publish an Indoor Positioning Data Service.

# Name: ShareIndoorPositioningDataService_sample.py 
# Description: Share an Indoor Positioning Data Service using an IPS Positioning Dataset stored in a file geodatabase 
 
# Import system modules 
import arcpy

# Set local variables 
in_ips_datasets = r"C:\\Users\\myUser\\Documents\\ArcGIS\\Projects\\DemoProject\\DemoProject.gdb\IPS_Positioning_Datasets" 
ips_dataset_name = 'myDataset' 
title = 'myTitle' 
summary = 'This is an example summary.' 
tags = 'Tag1,Tag2' 
folder = 'myFolder' 
sharing_level = 'Owner' 
group_sharing = 'FirstGroup;SecondGroup' 
 
# Call the ShareIndoorPositioningDataService
arcpy.indoorpositioning.ShareIndoorPositioningDataService(
    in_ips_datasets=in_ips_datasets,
    ips_dataset_name=ips_dataset_name,  
    title=title, 
    summary=summary, 
    tags=tags, 
    folder=folder, 
    sharing_level=sharing_level, 
    group_sharing=group_sharing 
)

ShareIndoorPositioningDataService example 2 (Python window)

The following Python window script demonstrates how to use the ShareIndoorPositioningDataService function to update a shared Indoor Positioning Data Service.

# Name: ShareIndoorPositioningDataService_sample2.py
# Description: Update an existing Indoor Positioning Data Service

# Import system modules 
import arcpy

# Set local variables
in_ips_datasets = r"C:\\Users\\myUser\\Documents\\ArcGIS\\Projects\\DemoProject\\DemoProject.gdb\IPS_Positioning_Datasets" 
ips_dataset_name = "myDataset"
title = "myTitle"  # title of an already shared on the signed-in portal Indoor Positioning Data Service 
summary = "This is an example summary."
tags = "Tag1, Tag2"
update_existing = "UPDATE_EXISTING"

arcpy.indoorpositioning.ShareIndoorPositioningDataService(

   in_ips_datasets=in_ips_dataset,
   ips_dataset_name=ips_dataset_name,

   title=title,
   summary=summary,
   tags=tags,
