In order to update the new month's parcels, I ran 'Delete Features' and the 'Append' tools on from ArcGIS Pro. It took a very long time, but the Append eventually 'succeeded.' However, now when trying to view the layer in AGOL, I get an message saying 'There was an Error' on the item details and data tabs. I realize this might not have been the best workflow for such a large layer, but for the time being my organization does not yet have an Enterprise agreement and the&nbsp;'Overwrite web layer' function was failing.&nbsp;</P><P></P><P>Can I recover this hosted layer? And what is recommended for updating or overwriting rather large vector feature layers? The 'Update layer' option was not available from the item details.&nbsp;</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 02 May 2019 20:19:24 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-online-questions/agol-layer-rendered-useless-after-using-append/m-p/33234#M1674 IngridMans 2019-05-02T20:19:24Z Re: AGOL layer rendered useless after using 'Append' tool in ArcGIS Pro to update layer https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-online-questions/agol-layer-rendered-useless-after-using-append/m-p/33235#M1675 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi,</P><P></P><P>I'd suggest getting in touch with tech support to investigate what happened. If you are updating values in a layer and want to keep existing layers, I recommend using append. If you are totally changing the data in the layer, then I'd suggest using overwrite. Here is a link to a blog about using the append tool in ArcGIS Online</P><P></P><P><A href="https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-online/data-management/whats-new-with-hosted-feature-layers-updating-data-gets-more-flexible-with-append/">https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-online/data-management/whats-new-with-hosted-feature-layers-updating-data-gets-more-flexible-with-append/</A></P><P></P><P><A href="https://community.esri.com/space/2151">ArcGIS Pro</A>‌</P><P></P><P>-Kelly</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 06 May 2019 16:04:21 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-online-questions/agol-layer-rendered-useless-after-using-append/m-p/33235#M1675 KellyGerrow 2019-05-06T16:04:21Z Re: AGOL layer rendered useless after using 'Append' tool in ArcGIS Pro to update layer https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-online-questions/agol-layer-rendered-useless-after-using-append/m-p/33236#M1676 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I tried to use the 'Overwrite Web layer' in ArcGIS Pro, but it fails and now there is no data in the web layer.
