Transfer records from old survey to new survey

Question

Hi there,

I have two surveys, V1 which is live and V2 which s replication of V1 but modified. Now I want to transfer the data from V1 to V2 and depreciate V1.

Is this possible without using  third party tools? I have tried append but photos doesn't get transferred. Is there any other way I can do it in ArcGIS online without taking it out?

Thanks,

Anu

Hi Derrick,

Thanks for the solution. I am using the the latest version of ArcPro. I guess I cant use create replica as my schema in V2 has been changed. (additional fields have been added to it.

Thanks,

Anu

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I have been trying Append in ArcPro but getting following issue.

1) If I tick Preserved Global ID's (environment setting) I couldn't transfer the data and getting warning message 000595 and 000594.

2) If I untick Preserved Global ID's (environmental setting) then I can transfer the data and system generated new global Id's but I cant view the related record in the other feature service ( I am assuming the relation with the other layer broke up).

Thanks,

Anu

+1 for  AdminGIS2's recommendation, but a couple more points -

*  There was a bug in ArcGIS Pro where the Append tool would not maintain attachments when appending to an AGOL hosted feature layer.  This was resolved with the latest release (2.9.0 I think). Make sure you're using the latest version of ArcPro. 
* I was doing the same thing as you about 2 years ago and I think I ran into the same problem because I was using the "Export to FGDB" option to export the data (your "V1" data) in AGOL, which didn't export attachments (at the time).  Instead, I used "Create replica" and that resolved the issue for me.
