ArcPy script to write same record in another feature layer

I am trying to add created records in one layer to another feature layer using ArcPy script. Is there any sample script to do so? Thanks in advance.

Hi @DanPatterson

I have come up with a solution to the task I wanted to accomplish, but the script is taking around 5 minutes to do perform the task(s). I need to minimise the time of processing, great to have your expert suggestion if I can reduce the processing time,

......................................................................

for m in aprx.listMaps():
    for layer in aprx.activeMap.listLayers():
      if(layer.name[0:12]=="CGD.PARCELS_" and layer.getSelectionSet()):
          arcpy.management.Append(layer, "BASEDATA", "NO_TEST")
          arcpy.SelectLayerByLocation_management("BASEDATA","ARE_IDENTICAL_TO",layer)

Lots of "ifs" there.

I would start with consolidating your data so you don't have to cycle through a number of layers that you know won't meet the conditions in the first place.

You don't indicate :

how big the files are,
where they are located (fgdb, SDE etc) and
how you are accessing them (local? network? remote?) and
your computer specs.

In some cases directing to "memory" workspace helps Write geoprocessing output to memory

Also, is 5 minutes really too long? 😉 (ie. is this a 911 or similiar application?)
