SnowCOP python generated reports

There are two python scripts included with SnowCOP. When these run, do they update the map located on the server or do they update on my local machine?

Thanks

Claire -

The scripts update the underlying features in the geodatabase (which the map service is pointing at in the application) so users see the most current data when they interact with the reports in the SnowCOP application. You'll need to configure the scripts to write to the geodatabase the map services are pointing to when you deploy the application in your organization.

Scott,

Can you go a little more in depth on configuring the scripts? Are they designed to with a geodatabase that is registered with the server? Currently we are working off of unregistered file GDB with plans to migrated to a registered SDE database.

As I understand it, registered databases will allow the map service to update automatically. This is convenient for our purposes, since the SnowCOP application will be used by non-GIS users. When the scripts run, they should update the feature classes on the database, then the map service should update.

Any clarification would be helpful,
Claire
