I need help really bad. I have been looking through all of the Forum posts and and Help sections to try to figure out what is wrong with no luck. Here is what I am doing:
I have a File Geodatabase (ArcMap 10.0) with a Feature Class (Service Location) which is the physical location of our electric meters. I have multiple fields that I need to update on a nightly basis. This data comes from our CIS system which holds account, customer and meter attribute information. I have a script to runs automatically every night that pulls an Oracle VW through an ODBC connection and brings it into my File Geodatabase as a Geodatabase Table. What I have to do is to update a specific field (Account Number) in the Feature Class with the same field in the table (ACCOUNTNUM)... Just an example. What I want to be able to do is to also have this script run automatically at night. I have around 9500 records in the feature class with about 15 different fields to do this to. The problem I am having is it takes up to 20 to 25 minutes for each field to update so at times - the script can take 8 to 9 hours to complete. From what I understand - this should take only a few minutes.... So what I am doing is not working.
I decided to go back to the "Drawing Board" to see if there is something I am missing with writing the code..... I decided to work with (1) field right now to see if I can make it work and get the update time down before I rewrite the rest of the code.
This is what I currently have and it does not seem to be working:
I am not sure what is slowing this down. Am I looking at this process the wrong way?? Are there different tools that can be used to complete this mission??
Thank you for your help
