Unable to Save/Edit Features to ArcGIS Online

JordanMiller4

I downloaded Esri's latest Gas As-Builting solution and have been trying to move data from our UPDM2016 database to ArcGIS Online. I've been getting a 504 error on ArcGIS Pro (append, field calculate update/saving), which means that a gateway timeout occurred during my attempt at moving several hundred records at a time. Is there anyone out there with some ideas or scripts that might make this easier?

 

I've spent three weeks trying to get data pushed to AGOL using ArcGIS Pro, and I've found the process very frustrating.

I have a script that calculates values for AGOL hosted feature layers, and come across the 504 error frequently.  In fact, I pretty much expect it to fail most days if you are calculating very many records.

So, I createa list of the unique id's for the features I want to update, and an empty list called doneList.

Every iteration that succeeds appends the ID for that feature to the doneList.

Then, I have the call to the function that does the updates in a try: within a try: and while true statement similar to :

 

try:

    CreateIDlist()  # runs function to populate the list of features I want to process

    while True:
        try:
            DotheCalcs()
            break  # stop the loop if the function completes sucessfully
        except Exception as e:
            print("Function errored out!", e)
            print("Retrying ... ")
        print("Done with inner try")

 

 

So, the try function creates the list of ID's to process, then enters the While True: try: block.

that sends it to the function that does the calculations, and if it succeeds without error, it will "break" and end the whle/try loop and we are done.  If it errors, it prints the Function error out/Retrying message and sends it back to the DotheCalcs() function again.

In beginning of the DotheCalcs() function, 

 

for ID in toUpdateList:

  if ID not in donelist:
      (fl.calculate(where=sqlclause, calc_expression={"field": "Description", "value" : DescrDict[mc]}))  # Do the Calculation
      donelist.append(mc)

 

So, if it fails, it will try to run again, but, already has a list of what has been done already.

If the ID is not in the list, then the calculation has not succeeded on that feature, so it tries it again.

Some days it will process all 11,000 records without fail, others, it will restart itself one to many times until the list is completed.
