Trying to append a feature layer using python problem

GaryThomann

I am using arcgis pro 2.7 and am trying to append data from one feature layer into another.  When I do it manually inside the program using the Append tool in Geoprocessing it works fine.  But when I try to do it with python using arcpy.geoanalytics.AppendData(layer1,layer2) I get the error message that layer1 is not a hosted layer.  Why?  I don't see how this procedure has anything to do with hosting.  Although it probably makes no difference I am using Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2019 for writing the python code.

I don't think either layer is hosted, although I really don't know what hosting is anyway.  And your solution worked, although the actual command is arcpy.management.Append().  But that was easy to change.  Thank you very much!!
