Replace/overwrite layer with a different name in geodatabase and update to GIS map

Hi, I am a new FME user and hope someone can assist with my issues.

 

I have to update weekly utilities data from .12dxml to geodatabase. From the

geodatabase, I have to create a map in ArcGIS Pro and publish it to ArcGIS

Online. I just run the FME and overwrite the map whenever I receive data to

update. I have no issues doing it since I just overwrite the data for every

update.

However, the team requires me to add the date to each of the layer names e.g.:

utilities_electricity_20221025.Previously it was just utilities_electricity.

Hence, I couldn’t overwrite the data into the gdb. It will create a new layer

instead since the layer names are different every time I update the data

weekly. eg:utilities_electricity_20221025

(for week 1); utilities_electricity_20221104 (for week 2).

My questions are:

1.      How to overwrite/replace the layer with a different name? E.g.: utilities_electricity_20221025

(old data) replaced with utilities_electricity_20221104

(new data) in gdb?

2.      How to make sure the map layers in ArcGIS Pro follow the updated layers so that I don't have to add data and edit symbology every time we have new data updates?

 

Thank you very much.
