Good afternoon! Our organization recently realized that we will not be able to make lots of copies of our data into hosted feature classes to AGOL using ArcGIS's Collaboration, as we cannot turn on versioning for our data.

 

Therefore, we are exploring other ways to make nightly copies of our SDE data up into ArcGIS Online as hosted feature classes. I know that FME can do this, but I am curious if anyone has experience doing this or has any tips. I am relatively new to FME, so I've been looking into a few things but I'm not sure the best route.

 

For some context: We currently have about 120 or so layers we'd like to update nightly. Only a few of them are heavily edited, some of them are only edited about 4 times a year at most. There are also several layers that have thousands of edits a day.

 

My thought is to push edits via Change Detector, but the thought of setting up a change detector for over 120 layers is quite daunting. So, I was considering going the "Dynamic" route, but I'm not sure that's a possibility with change detector?

 

At the moment I'm just tossing stuff at a wall to see what sticks, and any suggestions/insight would be highly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi @cait.boyer​ great question! I believe your initial solution of using the ChangeDetector and then dynamically writing your layers is a great option. The dynamic part would only be dependent on if you are able to parse your layer names into either a format attribute or attribute value to use in the writer. Here are some resources to get you started with change detection and dynamic writing:
