When launching a python script from a SQL Server Agent Job I am unable to initialize a product license (We are using ArcPro) which is causing my import arcpy statement to fail. I know its a long shot but do any of y'all have an idea on how to fix this?

How are you managing your licenses?  It gets a little tricky when using AGOL named users.  I'm curious as to why you are using sql server agent to fire an arcpy script: we have a system user do it, and that system user is also a named user at agol so it can grab the license.

That should just about do it....

Is this script gong to be part of an on-going process that will be run as a Windows Scheduled Task?

Michael Volzl ; all of our scripts run as scheduled tasks not through sql server agent...

That should just about do it....

So we are running this script after an insert trigger is fired. We currently run it as a scheduled task but have received requests to have it run after records are inserted into a database. We have a named user license that is authorized to work offline on the machine.

I don't know how you would convince the license part that sql server agent is the same as the user name that runs your scheduled tasks. That's a funky one.

Would you consider an attribute rule that fires upon insert?

That should just about do it....

I would. Can you provide documentation for me to go down that rabbit hole? I really appreciate the help.

Is this an enterprise geodatabase?  If so, would that require that the Attribute Rule be run against a feature service where the enterprise geodatabase is the source?

It is an enterprise gdb yes. As for your second question technically I think so?

Attribute rules:  Introduction to attribute rules—Geodatabases | Documentation 

 would that require that the Attribute Rule be run against a feature service where the enterprise geodatabase is the source?

Any attribute rule(s) are assigned to a specific attribute in the specific feature class.  I believe if that feature class is a published, editable feature layer/service the attribute rules are fired back in the enterprise gdb, so you'd be good to go.

That should just about do it....
