UPDATE!
so i was able to get the arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True
to work in the python script i got the whole script to run to replace feature class with feature class. when i came in this morning and checked the results. it in fact did not overwrite the data rather even with the code in there it still did the same thing of adding the same named feature class with an _1 after it.
i am using this script to update a feature process. so there is the example of what i am doing
field technicians collect information and populate information into Feature class A in SDE 1 in Midwest America, that information over night (in bulk, feature classes A-ZZ) get transferred to SDE 2 in East America feature class A still has to remain just get overwritten with updates from SDE 1 to SDE 2. This allows for everyone using a mapping service to see updated information in East America without the server having to fetch the data from the Midwest. which makes the maps regeneration and generation faster as it is accessing local data. once the scrip is proven i plan on putting it on a scheduler and running it over the PM weekly for updating data. the only problem i am having is getting the overwrite of the features. between SDE 1 and SDE 2 as the name has to remain the same every time the data is transferred.
