Auto-update map service in ArcGIS 10.1

[SunilPalkar]

Hello All,

I just want to know that is it possible to publish service from certain interval (say 2 hour)

Reason: I am using ArcGIS Server & DT 10.1 and Sql Server 2008 R 2. My data base is updating hourly and I am unable to view updated points in my map (those points are coming in.mxd but after overwriting service I am able to view those points on map)

It is impossible to overwrite service every hour. I researched on Google and Web help (I have seen ArcGIS ADMIN API + ArcPy+FAQ) but unable to find solution for this problem even ESRI support people closed my ticket 😞

Therefore, any help will be great!

Thanks in advance : )

Sunil,

Could you explain in more detail why you need to overwrite your map service to see changes made to the data in the database. Changes to your data should be automatically reflected in your web applications.

Hi Sunil

Anthony is right. Changes to your data should be automatically reflected to your service. Anyway what you can do is publish .mxd which references the data in SDE using a python script. You can run the overwrite map service py script.
Refer this url:

You can automate the running of this script in every 2 hours using windows task scheduler.
