Thanks Dan. I have used python snippets in the past as a learning tool. Let me try to explain a little further. One of the redeeming qualities of using the python window in ArcGIS is that you are able to see your results, and therefore know that the command you executed works. Instant feedback.

Dan, that makes good sense and is very helpful! Maybe for a bit of context, as a novice python user, I hack my way towards creating things I need to get done. Even with all the shortcomings of the python window in ArcGIS, I'll often use that to bash away at various tools and I'll have an immediate idea (a visualization of the output) if they're gonna work or not. If one was to say try to figure out SelectLayerByLocation_management, you could do so and see your results right away and then build that into a tool/script/function. I'm loving Jupyter & Spyder, (especially given my envy every time a colleague shows me what they're doing in R-Studio [but let's not start the Rodeo debate, right?]). I know I can't get the visualization end of things in Jupyter using our web GIS, but that's not what I'm trying to achieve here. Maybe I'm just having a Goldilocks moment and want the perfect thing? Anyway, hopefully the background is helpful, but maybe what i'm looking for just doesn't exist outside ArcGIS. Thanks!

Is there a way to visualize query results (like a Query Table or layer) in either of these IDE's? I know you can leverage the arcgis module in Jupyter, but here you're beholden to a web GIS. What if you're just running queries against an SQL instance? I really like both of these IDE's but at least if you're using the ArcGIS Python window (Dan Patterson don't shoot me!) you see your results displayed directly (as a table or layer). Any thoughts? Maybe I'm missing something really obvious here. Thanks!

Hi there. I was able to modify the code that Xander Bakker provided in this thread so that new units in the source feature class were dissolve and then appended to the target feature class.

Richard, I see the concerns you highlight regarding data integrity. The purpose of the dissolved FC is primarily to facilitate querying and labeling...a locator if you will. The majority of the time it will simply adding records. As to comparing the UNIT values as you suggest, I'm having a bit of a time dissecting the search cursor provided in thread which I linked to. Would you suggest another way to go about that comparison?

Richard, sorry it took me a couple days to get back to you. I was thinking about this more from a tabular perspective. I'll try to illustrate here. So here we can see that the unit 10004 doesn't exist in the target/dissolved FC. Hopefully this better describes the issue at hand. I very much appreciate your or any one else's insight!

I know there are several similar threads here related to this, but there are some additional details I'd like to get feedback/insight on. Background: I have 2 feature classes. One is a FC of polygons which represent areas of different forest activity, and these areas can be associated as groups based on a unique identifier [i.e. polygons are organized into groups; each group has a unique value]. The other FC contains dissolved polygons based on each group and contains the unique group identifier as an attribute. Therefore, these FCs have a 1:N relationship. Objective: Automate the update process (select>dissolve>append) of the second feature class. Discussion: A simple option here would be to simply delete all records in the 2nd FC and repopulate based on a fresh dissolve process at some interval; there are only ~20k records here so it's not that big of a deal. I'm hoping to find a more elegant solution here (with logic that I can then apply to other processes). One alternative I've read about is building a dictionary from the source FC and then evaluate the target FC. The closest example I've found is here. Questions: Could anyone comment on the general logic here based on what I'm trying to achieve? Any alternative ideas jump out at you? Most of the script in the other thread I understand, but at the moment I'm not really solid how to implement the evaluation process I need in the cursor. Thanks in advance for any insight you might have!!

The last I read it's: ...t least a couple of months behind. Which is a major bummer considering the crossroads our organization is at right now.

This is pretty exciting, but I gotta say we're super disappointed that the Android release is so far behind.

Having gotten more comfortable with the Python API, I'm looking to see who is using it to manage portal content and how you're doing it...not specific code, but just examples. One thing I'm hoping to achieve is a degree of content conformity (like assuring that all map services are properly documented and adhere to naming conventions, but I'm not yet sure if the API can drill in that deep.

Very similar situation here. We keep unearthing small issues with security and configuring the environment, so heavy testing has yet to occur. My primary issue I've yet to test-out and determine a path forward for is dealing with our current need for multi-user editing for our local team (onprem ArcGIS Desktop) while still having an enterprise GDB (and therefore SQL Standard instance) in Azure for publication of map & feature services [without needing 2 ArcGIS Enterprise licenses and 2 SQL Server instances]. My ideal is that our local connections to the enterprise GDB on Azure will magically have sufficient speed/drawing times. If that doesn't work out I'll have to rethink our data model/data flow. This could leave us in a situation where each workstation has an SQL express instance to host 2-way GDB replicas and then implementing scripts run via task scheduler that keep everything synced up. Its far from ideal, but that may be the reality I'm facing depending on how testing works out. There are a number of other factors at play here; I'm happy to compare notes with you. I'm a bit surprised there isn't more discussion about this yet but I suspect most organizations have well-funded GIS infrastructure which takes care of many of these issues.
