Reading ArcGIS Online feature services with attachments overwrites edit tracking fields (Creator,CreationDate,Editor,Edit date)

rosi — Mon,31 Dec 2018 15:33:59 GMT

Hello,

I'm trying to read ArcGIS Online feature services with attachments into a local file geodatabase.I've been able to manage that,however,I noticed every time the script is run,it overwrites the edit tracking attributes.We need to be able to retain ArcGIS Online attributes intact to know who has created/edited the records in ArcGIS Online.

Any suggestions on how to keep the attribute intact,so they are not overwritten during the process?

Thank you for your help

How can I disable editor tracking on a feature service while running workspace?

We are using collector for ArcGIS to edit assets with a GPS unit to portal hosted feature services to sub-foot accuracy.We also have corresponding production feature classes in a SQL server sde of networked water assets that is the system of record for attribution.I have a workspace that will update changes in attribution from our production sde database (SQL server) to attribution in a portal hosted feature services that has editor tracking enabled.I want to maintain the last editor and last edit date fields in collector that is done by the field staff.When a feature is update by the workspace,it is overwritten to the run date and time and with my name as the editor.I was wondering if there is a way to use python caller to disable and enable editor tracking at the beginning and end of the workspace.I am not very python savvy,so any help in this regard will be appreciated.If there is another way other than python caller I am interested in that also.

'Overwrite existing file' parameter - ignore if file does not exist

I have a workspace in which I would like to overwrite an existing Excel spreadsheetifit exists - it might or it might not depending on other things.If I leave 'overwrite existing file' set to 'yes',the workspace will fail when it doesn't find an existing spreadsheet.This also happens with file geodatabases.

Perhaps a setting of 'yes - if existing' could be added?

Excel writer: push rows down when writing

When I am writing to Excel,I would like to see the option added to push rows down.

When you have a certain Excel template that contains named ranges that are positioned on top of each other and the writer exceeds the number of rows available,the rows underneath will be overwritten.I would like to see rows added and pushing everything down that is underneath this named range,or the selected area for writing.

Overwriting Existing File Geodatabase

Hi all,

I'm currently having some trouble updating a file geodatabase.I have a workspace that uses a regex to create individual feature classes in a file geodatabase.I have set the 'Feature Class or Table Name' in the writer to:

@ReplaceRegEx(@Value(Actual_URL),^.+/(.+?)\.zip$,\1)

It works fine on the first run but when I try to run the workspace a second time with 'Overwrite Existing Geodatabase: Yes' it gives me the following error:

"Unable to connect to the File Geodatabase at 'C:\Test.gdb'.Make sure the correct filename was specified,and that the geodatabase wasn't saved with a newer version of ArcGIS than the one installed locally.The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147024894'.The error message from ArcObjects is: {}A fatal error has occurred.Check the logfile above for details"

From what I've readhereit may be because the overwrite relies on the spatial indexing from the original file geodatabase.Perhaps there is a workaround where I can set the workspace to delete the existing featureclasses in the geodatabase before it runs?

Thanks
