Hello,
I have written a script that should take a 'Table View' from an SDE Geodatabase, and export it to Shapefile format for use as source data for a layer in a specific MXD file. The script should then take this MXD file and upload it to ArcGIS Server as a map service. This map service must overwrite an existing service (this is a weekly process). I was wondering if anyone could take a look at my code, before I actually run it, to see if there is anything in there that could be a potential issue. I really appreciate any help whatsoever. Code is posted below. Thanks so much.
