Publicar archivos KML o KMZ como capas de entidades alojadas en ArcGIS Online desde ArcGIS Pro

Resumen

Keyhole Markup Language (KML) files use an XML-based file format to represent geographic features by drawing points, lines, and polygons on maps. However, KML files have limited editing capabilities, and pop-up configurations in ArcGIS Online are not supported for KML files. Refer to ArcGIS Online: Considerations for using KML in your map for more information.

It is therefore necessary to publish KML files as hosted feature layers to enable feature querying, visualization, and editing of the data in ArcGIS Online. This article provides the workflow to publish KML or KMZ files as hosted feature layers to ArcGIS Online from ArcGIS Pro.

Note:
A KMZ file is a compressed version of a KML file.

Procedimiento

In ArcGIS Pro, convert the KML or KMZ file to a geodatabase feature class using the KML To Layer tool, and publish it as a web layer to ArcGIS Online.

1. Launch ArcGIS Pro and log in to ArcGIS Online with privileges to create content, and publish the hosted feature layers.
2. In the Geoprocessing pane, search for and click the KML To Layer tool. Refer to ArcGIS Pro: Run a tool in the Geoprocessing pane for steps to do this.

3. In the KML To Layer pane, configure the Parameters tab as follows:
   1. For Input KML File, click Browse…. to browse and select the KML file.
   2. For Output Location, click Browse…. to specify the location of the output feature class.
   3. Specify Output Data Name.
   4. Click Run. The output layer is automatically added to the map.

4. Publish the layer to ArcGIS Online. Refer to ArcGIS Online: Share a web feature layer for steps to do this.
