Rebuilding geocoder published to portal

Hi, I'm looking to write a script to rebuild a geocoder published to portal 11.2

Something like:

gis = GIS( url="<portal url>", username="<username>", password="<pw>", verify_cert=True, ) gis_servers = gis.admin.servers.list() server = gis_servers[0] services = server.services.list(folder='Geocoders') address_locator1 = services[0] #locator to rebuild 1 address_locator2 = services[1] #locator to rebuild 2 arcpy.geocoding.RebuildAddressLocator(address_locator1) #?

I can access the services and see everything so no issues there. But the reference data for these 2 locators, is in our local production DB. So I'm not sure how the rebuild function would access the data.

Do I need to write a script that uses an sd draft instead? Or what if I changed the locators reference data to use publicly accessible hosted services? I'm assuming that would work.

Whats best practice? Thank you.

@AaronManuel2 The following help topic references the best practice for updating a locator and the geocode service. https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/data/geocoding/keep-your-locator-up-to-date.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_12AA5C7DF3B44701B13DD015F6D1BA02
