I have what I think would be a simple task. I have a feature class and a table in two different databases. Every night I would like to join the table to the feature class and export a subset of fields (with some of the field names aliased). I can set up a model that works if I want to watch it work and do it manually, but this requires the map to be open. If I am having this automated, the map will not be open and it will fail. Please give me some ideas how to make this process easier.

Hi Mike. I just ended up figuring this out myself. I am working in ArcGIS Pro and model builder. What I figured out is that the layer that I am working on needed to be in a feature service, instead of just a layer in the map. Once I created the feature service and used it, I was able to close the map and still able to run the model. This allowed me to schedule it successfully. Yeah!
I have had multiple people view this, and no replies. Is this just not possible? Or am I not phrasing the question so its understandable?
Are you working in ArcMap or Pro?
This is in a model and not python code?
