How to dynamically write new or update existing ArcGIS Online Feature Layers.

Hi ​@jack.heiniger 

You could try selecting  Create Feature Service Using File Upload to Yes in the feature writer parameters.

I would also check if there are any data types or attribute names that might mess things up. Sending ObjectId through the writer can cause issues too.

Hope that helps.

Hi ​@crutledge 

After filtering out the objectid and turning on the Create Feature Service Using File Upload, a layer is it no longer errors out, however it's still not publishing any features, and is creating a hosted table, even though geometry is specified within the attribute {} list. I’m also now getting 20,000+ warnings, with the first notable one being 

“Cannot define schema for 'Cadastre_Address_LGATE002' as the feature does not contain schema information, and schema source is set to 'Schema from Schema Feature'. Please verify writer feature type configuration”

Here’s my writer setup and what is being written.

I can see in the rest end point that the feature service is still being created, but with no layers or tables attached.

As far as I can tell, no other attribute names or data types are unsupported.

Thanks

That seems to work. I’m using a feature writer for a FileGDB, then using ArcGIS Online Connectors to upload and publish the FileGDB as a Hosted Feature Layer.

Once it’s been initially published, I can just use the one feature writer to update the layer.

Thanks for all the help ​@crutledge !
