Publish Live data in AGOL

Question

Hello All,

I've just started to work on AGOL.
I could publish some electrical network data as service via desktop and was able to add and view in AGOL.
Now I need to query the live meter data (meter data from third party system like MDMS) whenever cliked on service location (has meter id as relationship) and display data as popup. Please help me how I can I achieve this.

Thanks
Kiran

Correct,

If you want to view local dynamic data in ArcGIS Online, you will  need to use ArcGIS Server.

There are API's to work with Hosted Services that allow you to frequently update hosted data, but this can be rather complex and is not necessarily a COTS solution but something that would have to be custom built for your needs.

As for the question about communication between two widgets in the Javascript API, this is a high level question that I would say is possible.

Hope that helps,
Andrew

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the reply. This really helps me.
Just to confirm,So do you meant to say there is no other option than having ArcGIS server for querying data from premise database? 
Don't we have option like that is done for GPS services (i.e. without having to use ArcGIS server).
Also pls let me know whether a communication between two widgets is possible using Javascript.

Thanks
KiranHi Kiran,

If you need to leverage live data from an on premise database, you will have to use ArcGIS Server to publish your data as a Service. You can leverage this service within ArcGIS Online to create maps and applications.
