Does GeoEvent recognize attachments?

ISP_graynic — Fri, 13 Dec 2019 18:20:59 GMT

I have an Input set-up in GeoEvent to poll a feature class. These features have image attachments with them. I'm trying to get GeoEvent to poll the feature class and copy it over to a new feature class (using either the Add a Feature or Update a Feature) with the attachment. It copies the data over currently but not the attachment. Is there a way to get GeoEvent to copy over the attachment to the new feature class too?

Unfortunately attachments are not supported in GeoEvent. This was confirmed by ESRI. The way I got around it is by creating a model in ArcGIS Pro that does this and run it at regular intervals. This allows me to copy a feature class w/ attachments included and also export attachments.

Hello Nicholas,

is it possible to send me your model?

Thanks Karsten

This is all it is. Basically it updates a layer in a geodatabase and then clears out the features in the ArcGIS Online feature service (using a pre-condition so it copies over before clearing out). This way transfers over the attachments with the record since it's copying into a geodatabase. I just run this manually in Pro on a weekly basis or so, but you could export it as a Python Script on run in on a regular interval to copy over to your master feature layer and delete from the original Online feature layer. Let me know if you have any more questions about it.

Hello!
@Stefan_Jung Any updates on 2024? It's would be great option for GeoEvent.
Can I found some info from documentation about attachment in GeoEvent Server Manager?

Thanks!
