Max extent (in Web Mercator Aux Sphere spatial ref): 40,000 acres My initial recommendation was to re-work the point feature class for those larger scales so as to reduce the density, and ultimately the processing times for the Selection.  But I hoped to fully vet this out before going down that road. When I look at the AGS logs, all seems to process ok 200 codes with this published GP service.  Looking at developer tools, it says about 225,000 milliseconds or about 3.75 mins to process that 40k acre polygon on points selection. ...

Does it work if done manually in ArcMap?  How about if you run the Make XY Event Layer tool on your input?  These might uncover if there's an issue with the input itself. ... View more

my propose was to save me to click on "save" buttun in all the open MXD's by my self- i wanted the python will do it. So you are running the script from an Add-In tool?  I don't think it is possible to execute this type of save method from a script running parallel to the mxd document you are trying to alter --- I'd think there will be 2 separate instances of python conflicting. You will likely have to check to see if an .mxd referenced in your for loop is open and perform a saveAs instead. ... View more

Your code works fine for me.  Double-check the folder and file permissions. ... View more

I'm not sure where you placed the line (it looks like you put it in the for loop?), but it should probably be located just after you set the workspace: env.workspace = r"D:\PROJECTS\bat_galim\gis" env.overwriteOutput = True  ... View more

Just to be different, I used numpy and pandas to get the result.  Basically just converts the input FC into a pandas DataFrame, apply filter, create output table, join back to original FC and apply final SelectByAttributes.  import arcpy import pandas as pd import numpy as np     dflist=[] arrOut = r'in_memory\_arrOut' items = ['very','longer','sweater','really'] fc = r'<input feature class>' fl = arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(fc, "inputFC") flds = [f.name for f in arcpy.ListFields(fc)] tarr = arcpy.da.TableToNumPyArray(fc,flds) df = pd.DataFrame(tarr,columns=['OID','Full_Text','flag']) df['flag']='x' for item in items:     df_result = df[df['Full_Text'].str.contains(item)]     dflist.append(df_result) listofdfs = pd.concat(dflist)    dfar = listofdfs.to_records() tarrout = np.array(dfar, np.dtype([('ID', np.int32),('Full_Text', '|S255'),('flag', '|S1')])) arcpy.da.NumPyArrayToTable(tarrout, r"in_memory\numpytab2") arcpy.AddJoin_management(fl, "OBJECTID", r"in_memory\numpytab2", "OID", "KEEP_COMMON") exp = """ "flag" = 'x' """ arcpy.SelectLayerByAttribute_management(fl, "NEW_SELECTION", exp) ...

Thank you for the reply, Robert.  Is this something that ESRI support could address or is this an issue related to a custom widget? Thanks again for all of your input! ... View more

*** Update *** ArcGIS Online Assistance works! ArcGIS Online Assistant It may not be a super efficient process, but I can see implementing a satisfactory process for our map service publication workflow.  In essence, here's what I did to "update" an existing web layer that gets broken when overwriting the underlying map service with updates/changes to it: 1. Re-publish the updated map service 2. Create a new web layer from the updated map service: open a new web map and add the map service.  Create a "copy", apply any symbol adjustments and popup setup.  Save it. 3. Open ArcGIS Online Assistant, navigate to the newly created web layer and copy the JSON (just the "data" portion) of the newly created web layer.  Add it to a Text Pad, or just keep it in the clipboard when you copy. 4. From ArcGIS Online Assistant, locate the original web layer that is broken.  Select all of the "data" section of the JSON, delete it and paste in the JSON from the newly created web layer. 5. Save the JSON editor. You should be good to go! ... View more

Geojobe has some AGOL admin tools that allow for exporting and importing individual items, which I thought looked promising!  However, when I exported the JSON of the broken web layer, applied the fix and then imported it back into AGOL --- it created a new item instead of maintaining it's original item Id for some reason.  So, it doesn't "fix" the existing item, it just creates a new item. This is a difficult issue that we've run into as well at our organization.  We are using "Map Image Layers" as the items in AGOL so that the underlying map services can be formalized for sharing, and more importantly, for discovery.  We have a sort of elaborate admin design that incorporates specific accounts and groups that help us organize content based upon specific business units of the organization. Essentially, we are managing content by creating AGOL accounts and groups that are specific to each business unit of the organization -- which works well!  However, we've run into the issue of managing that content as Map Image Layers when their underlying map services are altered (as we should expect them to!).  This could be a simple schema change to one or more of the feature classes in the service has occurred OR more often, it's simply adding a new feature class to the map service that causes the web layer to break. This alteration to the map services, expectedly, corrupts the web layers and because each web layer has a unique URL we simply cannot replace it with a new/updated/fixed web layer because that original web layer could have already been added to tons of user's web maps.  Now, the next time these users access their web map products they've created, that web layer is broken or corrupted. There is no simple fix because we cannot alter that original web layer and a new one must be created.  This means a new URL is created and those user's do not get the new web layer in those map products. The suggested fix: some sort of JSON editor that will allow us to update the actual properties of the web layer and save it back in order to maintain that original URL.  Then user's web map products that contain that web layer will include those updates automatically. ...
