Mike Dagle If my org has deployed this solution. what is the best way to update to the new version without losing data.
Hi Rickey Fite,
In the Solution Deployment Tool go to Deploy an ArcGIS Solution --> Options menu (the hamburger menu to the right of the Search box), uncheck Use Existing Items In The Organization.
This will ensure you get a fresh copy of the maps, apps, and feature layers. You can then explore the updated configurations and copy your existing data over to the new feature layers as needed.
I hope that helps,
Mike
Will this overwrite the existing data? Do we have to rename the existing data layers first?
Hi Jennifer,
Deploying the update will not overwrite your existing data and as long as you deploy to a new folder, you do not need to rename any existing items.
You could also try out the new online deployment tool described, here: Deploy solution - Coronavirus Response | ArcGIS Solutions for Local Government
Released late last week and currently for the Coronavirus related solutions, the online deployment will automatically place the new and updated items into a new folder for you.
