I have a scheduled workspace that needs to truncate an sde table. The table is shared as aservice in AGS and portal. I see a customtransformer to start/stop the arcgisserver.  

But if i'm not mistaken this would not remove any locks that are on the sde table.

do i need to put this into an automation in order to make all this happen? since i don't see any specific transformers to accomplish this. is it going to have to be through the rest api or python? does anyone have a workflow and or script to do this?

I assume i would need to...

  1. stop the AGS service (to keep someone from connecting while the rather lengthy trunc/load is happening)
  2. then remove the locks (I think i have only heard of doing this through the rest api).
  3. run the fme wkspc and truncate then load the new data.
  4. restart the service.

 

Hey, so stopping the service will remove any locks on SDE that the service had. If another user/service has a lock on the data, this will still remain.

To fully drop all locks from SDE you'd need to use ArcPy.

The rough steps would be:

  1. stop service(s)
  2. disable connections - https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/2.8/arcpy/functions/acceptconnections.htm
  3. disconnect users - https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/2.8/arcpy/functions/disconnectuser.htm
  4. perform the truncate
  5. enable connections
  6. start service(s)

hmm, Thank you! Now if i can just figure out how to implement that into a scheduled wksp
