ArcPy script to write same record in another feature layer

Question

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.

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?)

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)
