Thankfully, time continues to pass... and things continue to change. I'm clicking the "Unmark as Correct" button on Scott's previously correct answer due to an "unsupported workflow" note during an open case with Esri technical support on a big bonk that happened the last time I tried to run the update script. Now, the correct answer has become: Use ArcMap 10.3 and maybe higher (but test first) to open the source MXD File > Share As > Service > Overwrite an existing service Note that at 10.3 this procedure does not cause the AGO FL(H) (ArcGIS Online Feature Layer (Hosted)) item to have a new item ID. Therefore, this workflow does not bust any links one might have made to the Open Data item from things like FGDC metadata online resource tags, data catalogs, and such. ...and go ahead and script it up with Model Builder and/or Python.

We had a similar situation back in September where the thumbnails would not show for some "related data" in Open Data. It turned out that one of the Open Data updates had inadvertently allowed "ghost items" to haunt our site... whatever that means. Apparently, "ghost item" thumbnails don't show. The fix was a bit complicated and this may not be the same issue, so I'd suggest that you enter a support request with Esri. Happy Friday.

Time passes... things change. Spotted this note today suggesting that maybe this situation has been improved. It bears a little investigation, maybe! Sign in to Esri's support system and search for BUG-000082504. Suggests "Fixed"

Hi Patrick, Yup, that's the one. I tried using IE, Firefox, and Chrome on Win7 inside my employer's network and Safari on my phone-thang on AT&T's network. All failed with a time out error. I tried again today, failing on my employer's network and succeeding on my phone. So... who knows what's going on. I've kicked a support note internally and will mess with this from home this weekend. thx, tim

Patrick Florance, I have tried to get to the opengeoportal.org site a few times, but I haven't been able to load it in various browsers on various networks. Is it a thing, or has it evaporated? thx, tim

Andrew Stauffer, I notice that "GeoNet Admin" has marked your answer as correct, which I would like to take as really good news! If there's a capability now for delivering the metadata, could you provide a link to the instructions? Thanks, Tim

Well, bummer. Another GOTCHA. After I opened a case regarding "Overwrite" not being available, "Overwrite hosted feature layers" documentation was updated yesterday to highlight that this capability only works if you publish the hosted feature layers by loading a file geodatabase or shapefile and choosing to create a feature layer at loading time. However, the doc does not note (today) that if you published the hosted feature layer from ArcMap, that Overwrite is not provided as an option. Today, that information may only be on this little post in the untraveled hinterlands of GeoNet. Note that if you publish the hosted feature service from a file geodatabase so you can use Overwrite, then you lose metadata (e.g. description, copyright text, constraints, tags, display field, min/max scales, etc.) in the item and in the service catalog. Also note that layer names are not generated from feature class aliases if you publish from file geodatabases. And, I'm not seeing a way to specify max records returned. Kind of a miss. Since retaining and presenting service metadata when publishing from a file geodatabase is not supported and other capabilities are missing, Overwrite is of little use to organizations who have a requirement to make the metadata available at the service endpoint along with their Open Data offerings. I'll have to stick with Scott's customization above until the file geodatabase publishing tools respect the GDB and feature class metadata. Disappointing for our purposes.

When I request your open data site, Esri's code calls Google Analytics, which suggests that they are tracking and have access to the information you want. You may be able to pursue via a support request for your open data site. tim

matthew driscoll & Thomas Stanley-Jones Gentlemen, thank you both for your posts. You've pushed me along toward that dubious nirvana of labeling features with relates. I'm Python-deficient at present, and have a need to label a point feature based on a table that is two relates away: Facility (point) has Space (table) has Tenant (table). Your code fired right off after I shortened my table path, so I have Facility (point) has Space (table) no worries. Is there an awesome Python reference that you know of that has examples of traversing multiple relates? thanks again, tim Edit: I'm stunned. I believe I just hacked my way into some nested cursors that did the trick. I'm quite positive it's not optimized, but it works. Now I'm just into the joy of retrieving domain descriptions so I'm not labeling my points with useful info like "3, 8, 2, 6" So, thanks for the kick start, guys. I hope you're off enjoying your weekends early. On that note, I'd best lean back on some laurels and maybe slide on out of here.
def FindLabel( [GlobalID] ):
strSpaceTable = "C:\Facility.gdb\Space"
strTenantTable = "C:\Facility.gdb\Tenant"
strSpaceWhereClause = '"FacilityID" = \'{0}\''.format([GlobalID])
spacecursor = arcpy.da.SearchCursor(strSpaceTable, "GlobalID", strSpaceWhereClause)
for row in spacecursor:
spaceGlobalID = str(row[0])
strTenantWhereClause = '"SpaceID" = \'{0}\''.format(spaceGlobalID)
tenantcursor = arcpy.da.SearchCursor(strTenantTable, "Org3Acronym", strTenantWhereClause)
tenantresult = ""
for row in tenantcursor:
strLabel = str(row[0])
tenantresult += strLabel + "\n"
return tenantresult
return tenantresult.rstrip()

Here's an upcoming correct answer... hopefully 9/23/2014 ArcGIS Online Update "Feature Layers In the September update we plan to add an improved user experience for updating data in your ArcGIS Online-hosted feature layers. If you need to update data associated with your hosted feature layer, you will be able to update the layer through My Content and maintain the item URL and details."

Hi Nick, An MXD is a configuration file for ArcMap. A shapefile is a legacy data structure from the mid-1990s which can be added to an ArcMap session and used as one of many data sources. If you then save the ArcMap session to an MXD, then the next time you open the MXD with ArcMap the shapefile will be available as a layer in the ArcMap session. I hope that helps explain the relationship between MXDs and shapefiles. I find the Esri free online training to be an excellent way to find my way: Esri Training | Getting Started with GIS Good luck, tim

Has anyone had any success specifying many-to-many cardinality when creating an ArcMap Relate? What I've tried: The Relate dialog lets me pick the primary key field, the target table, the foreign key field, and then it lets me name the relate. I don't get to specify cardinality as I do when creating a geodatabase relationship class. The end result appears to support a 1:1 or 1:M relate, but befuddles me regarding the advertised and desired M:N relate. The instructions suggest that an ArcMap M:N relate is supported, but the "how to" information is elusive. Hopefully, I'm just slipping up somewhere... surely there's a button to press to specify cardinality and make it work.

Hi Scott, Good info! I can use this until enterprise geodatabase replication or similar out-of-the-box capabilities show up in the ArcGIS Platform for managing data locally and publishing in ArcGIS Online. Thanks, Tim
