Update Feature Service with SD File

Big-Chill — Tue, 25 Jun 2024 16:34:21 GMT

Hi folks, I am wondering if it's possible to update (truncate/append) data for a feature service with an associated Service Definition file. This would be for AGOL. I have a good handle on how to do this with a Feature Service published from a zipped file geodatase. However, I do receive errors when trying to do this with a FS and associated SD file. Is this even possible or am I missing something.

Thanks

Have you take a look at the example from ESRI

I have not tried that, but I don't see truncate/append functionality within that example. It's only about publishing a service. I want to run regular update without overwriting. Wondering if I could replace the SD file with a more current version contain the necessary edits. After all, I believe the SD files is just a JSON file.

I am uncertain about the SD file. Maybe these will give you some info about truncating and appending feature services.
