Join, calculate field, remove join using python for an ArcGIS online hosted layer

Question

Hi all,

I have a GP tool that joins, calculate field and remove join on my desktop. I now want to transpose that to ArcGIS online using python so I can create a task scheduler that would run every day.  I made the GP tool as a GP service. Is it possible?

Thanks,

Alex

Nope, but the data is on ArcGIS online. The tool should run against the data in ArcGIS online. It does not need to be a GP tool though.

Is having it as a GP service in ArcGIS Online a requirement? You can run a Python script as a task in Windows with Task Scheduler.
