Hello all,
I am a newbie in Python and have a simple script that does a spatial join on two feature classes (inputfc1) and (inputfc2) and overwrites the output (outputfc) every time it runs. But I noticed whenever a new record is added via a web application to the inputfc1, the total record count doesn’t reflect in my gp script i.e. my output still references the former count. Say for example: When the script was first created and executed, the total records in inputfc1 was 12, subsequently a user adds a new record via the web application to inputfc1 making it 13. When I open the mxd to check the number of records in the attribute table of inputfc1, it reflects the newly added record but the output from my script doesn’t reflect this newly added record. The only way it gets the updated total is if I delete the outputfc from the output folder and re-run the script. And I know I really don’t have to always delete the outputfc since I already set the output to be overwritten. But anytime inputfc1 is updated, my outputfc doesn’t reflect any new addition in the attribute table. Any pointers on how to go about resolving this simple script will be appreciated.
