I posted before asking if anyone had yet deployed the Electric Joint Use Solution, and got no hits, so I'm trying to figure it out alone. In general, I have some gaps in my understanding of how this is supposed to work. We have a GIS system of record existing in an SDE database, but this is an AGOL solution, and uses a feature service which is modeled on the Electric Distribution Data Management solution.
I'm trying to load our existing pole data into the solution, just to try the solution out and see if it's going to work for us, never mind the gorilla in the room of how to reconcile between the two databases on a regular basis. I'm using ArcGISPro 3.1, btw.
I have figured out how to load data using the Append with Transformation tool from the Data Loading Toolbox. Okay, but it appears you can't load data into the hosted feature service directly, but only a local copy. The questions I have are:
What's the correct workflow to create a local copy? Do I export directly from AGOL to a FGDB? Do I load the feature service into Pro and export from there? When I try option 2, a bunch of fields don't export, and it also doesn't maintain relationships. I feel like I'm missing something basic.
How do I edit the subtype domains for the feature service? It doesn't appear possible in AGOL when domains are assigned to subtypes. So do I just edit the local copy subtype domains and then these will be edited when I overwrite the existing feature service?
