Example Usage

###From a Script### The user can create a script which calls the module as follows:

import GISDataProcess

maintainFeatureClass = 'PATH TO MAINTAIN FEATURE CLASS'
publishFeatureClass = 'PATH TO PUBLISH FEATURE CLASS'

updateFeatureClass = GISDataProcess.UpdateFeatureClass(maintainFeatureClass, publishFeatureClass)
updateFeatureClass.delete_publish_features()
updateFeatureClass.append_maintain_features()

Alternatively the following script could be run from a scheduled update passing in arguments

python RunGISDataProcess.py [PATH TO MAINTAIN FEATURE CLASS] [PATH TO PUBLISH FEATURE CLASS]

### RunGISDataProcess.py

import sys
import GISDataProcess

maintainFeatureClass = sys.argv[1]
publishFeatureClass = sys.argv[2]

updateFeatureClass = GISDataProcess.UpdateFeatureClass(maintainFeatureClass, publishFeatureClass)
updateFeatureClass.delete_publish_features()
updateFeatureClass.append_maintain_features()
