Copy features from SDE to AGOL hosted feature layer

[dstrigl]

Dear Community,

I want to copy the features from a SDE to a hosted feature layer on AGOL.

My sample so far looks like:

import arcgis
import arcpy
from arcgis import GIS
from arcgis.features import FeatureLayer, FeatureSet

fc = r"C:\Sample.sde\SAMPLE.POLY_SAMPLE"
fields = [field.name for field in arcpy.ListFields(fc)]
fields[fields.index("SHAPE")] = "SHAPE@"

user = "???"
password = "???"
item_id = "???"

gis = GIS(r"https://???.maps.arcgis.com/", user, password)
data_id = gis.content.get(item_id)
print(data_id)
layer = FeatureLayer.fromitem(item=data_id, layer_id=0)
print(layer)
layer.manager.truncate()

feature_set = arcpy.FeatureSet()
feature_set.load(fc)
print(feature_set.JSON)

result = layer.edit_features(adds=???)
print(result)

First of all I delete all features from the hosted feature layer on AGOL.

Next I want to add the features from the SDE feature layer to the hosted feature layer ...

My problem is, that I couldn't find a real working sample for this.

Does anyone have a working sample how to do it?

Regards,

Daniel.

I'm sure there are other ways, but using arcpy append is working for me.

arcpy.management.Append(r"\\pathtosde\signs.sde\Posts", "https://urltofeatureservice/SSA_Map_Data/FeatureServer/1", "TEST", None, '', '')

Thanks for your fast response, but I can't use the URL as the target (second parameter), because the hosted feature layer on ArcGIS Online is only available after login (see sample above).

I tried to pass the "layer" from here

layer = FeatureLayer.fromitem(item=data_id, layer_id=0)

 but this failed 😞

But you are logging in on line 14.

This works for me, though I pass it the item id of my hosted feature layer.

It will truncate the layer, then append the data from the SDE feature class to the newly truncated hosted feature layer ( I use the "TEST" option as my fields/schema match):

import arcpy
from arcgis.gis import GIS

fc = r"C:\Sample.sde\SAMPLE.POLY_SAMPLE"  # FC holding data to append to FeatureLayer

gis = GIS(url='https://????.maps.arcgis.com/', username='AdminUser', password='UserPass') #sign in to AGOL

feature_layer = gis.content.get('63644981afa0438e97sgd68fs79gs19ec')  # Establish the working dataset by itemid

FeatLay = feature_layer.layers[0] # Grab the first layer in the dataset
FeatLayUrl = FeatLay.url # grab URL as arcpy append uses string value

FeatLay.manager.truncate()

arcpy.management.Append(fc, FeatLayUrl, "TEST", None, '', '')

Thanks for your hint, I will try it ...
