Automating Data Updates at Cumberland County
In my work with Cumberland County, I developed a template Python script that is used to automate various data update workflows. Various scripts are run as Windows Scheduled Tasks on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. The scripts write the informational and error messages of the processes to a text file. Below are some of the data updates we have automated:
- Data replication to County departments
- Rebuilding tiles for cached map services
- Rebuilding address locators
- Overwriting feature services hosted on ArcGIS Online
- Converting a non-spatial database table to a GIS feature class
- Running maintenance tools on enterprise geodatabases
