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
