Courtney,
Our process is scripted so I can describe that it, but likely cannot point you to a specific point when this occurred. We (Bill DaigleLydiaBaileyBill Daigle) maintain feature classes in SDE. When edits occur the data manager will designate the layer be updated in all dependent locations, including AGOL as a hosted feature service. Very large items are loaded as document links that point back to our web server for download. The feature service upload process takes one of two paths, with all tasks being automated via api calls which mostly use github ArcREST api package functionality. The only exception is the full item upload via arcpy.UploadServiceDefinition. If the layer is new or has a schema change, the existing AGOL feature service is deleted and replaced. If the layer only has record level edits, the features on the existing AGOL hosted feature service are deleted and then new records inserted into that item. If errors occur in the second process, we revert back to the first full item replacement option. Items are shared with everyone and our OpenData group which contains all items to be displayed on our OpenData site.
We are aware of issues with item replacement due to the object id being changed. However, this is lower priority since the feature service url does not change, and thus we haven't noted major negative impacts on map and apps pointing to those replaced feature service items.
Following is a summary of our existing data issues related to inconsistencies between our OpenDataGroup and OpenDataSite. Count of items in each location; Items in our ODGroup that should be showing up in the ODSite; Items that are orphaned, not in our ODGroup nor on our AGOL site anymore, and should be removed from the ODSite.
Our evaluations also picked up erroneous duplicate records over the last several days, but those appear to have been cleaned up or fixed as of this morning. In that case, a search for a specific record would show one result on screen, but list 2 results and show duplicates with the same item id when the returned json was evaluated.
Thanks for your help, Adam
