EnterpriseVectorTileLayerManager.stop()

[ohughes16]

Describe the bug
We recently upgraded from ArcGIS Pro 3.3.6 to ArcGIS Pro 3.5.5 at our agency and one of our scripts that uses the arcgis-python-api started throwing an error on a process that stops a hosted vector tile layer service, edits the service defintion and then starts the service back up.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

from arcgis.layers import VectorTileLayer
item_id = '618b53910b6a48fbb4fac0cb5b7a4c69'
gis = GIS(url=PORTALURL, username=username, password=password)
vector_layer_item = gis.content.get(item_id)
vector_tile_layer = VectorTileLayer.fromitem(vector_layer_item)
vtl_manager = vector_tile_layer.manager
vtl_manager.stop()

error:

----> 1 vtl_manager.stop()

File C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3\Lib\site-packages\arcgis\layers\_vtl\_vector_tile_layers.py:117, in EnterpriseVectorTileLayerManager.stop(self)
    110 """
    111 This operation stops all instances of a service. Once a service is
    112 stopped, it cannot process any incoming requests. Performing this
    113 operation will stop the respective servers, terminating all pods

    115 """
    116 vtl_service = _layers.Service(self.url, self._gis)
--> 117 return vtl_service.stop()

AttributeError: 'Layer' object has no attribute 'stop'

Screenshots

Expected behavior
In the previous version we were using the from arcgis.mapping import EnterpriseVectorTileLayerManager, VectorTileLayer but the code works without issue to stop, start, and edit the vector tile layer using the EnterpriseVectorTileLayerManager class.

Platform (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 11
• Python API Version 2.4.1.3

@ohughes16 Thanks for logging an issue. This was fixed in version 2.4.2. If possible, can you please try with the latest version?

[ohughes16]

I can confirm that stopping and starting no longer errors in the newest version of the api - however, when I edit the service definition with the vector tile to allow exportTile=True and restart the service, that property is not being recognized on the item.

[ohughes16]

I will also add that the item says that it should be allowed in offline mode, but that property is not being recgnozed in other applications (both AGOL and Portal) following an update and edit to the service defintion. This was previously working in our last version of the Python API that came with Pro 3.3.6.
