How to refresh daily a table Feature Layer (hosted)

Question

Hello everyone,

We have  3 FC and one related table and we are thinking about moving the table and feature classes  to ArcGIS Portal as hosted feature layers in order to digitize records using Web AppBuilder and Smart Editor Widget.

The table, is going to be a read only table and needs to to be refreshed daily, with data imported from other tabular based applications.

What is the best way to refresh the table in Portal?

- Process everything in in SDE, truncate/append  the hosted table in Portal with the table from SDE?

Thanks

Jose

We do everything in SQL server on the back end. I have a feature class that resides in an SDE database that is then published as a feature service. As the SQL server updates the related tables the feature service automatically updates as well. These feature services work GREAT in Map Viewers and Web App Builder but within XP Builder the feature service is EXTREMELY slow. More research needed there but it makes no sense as to why it creep in XP only.

I'm doing it daily on a HFL we have but the size of it is spiraling out of control. Every new data refresh the size doubles...how do I trim it down? the number of features/rows remains about the same but the file size doesn't

Hello @JoseSanchez ,

If possible you may want to register your enterprise geodatabase with ArcGIS Server. This would allow you to publish a feature service that references source data from your enterprise geodatabase. Changes to the underlying source data would then be reflected in the feature service. Requirements to register the enterprise geodatabase vary depending on the RDBMS system.
