Did you ever find a solution for this? I'm curious about this as well! ... View more

Have you found a way to resolve this? I'm having a similar issue with a shapefile after using arcpy.ImportMetadata_conversion. The lock persists until I close Pythonwin and using del arcpy doesn't help. ... View more

The behavior is normal.  You have dissolved to create a branching multi-part polyline, which will randomly append the order of the internal parts.  Part 1 does not have to chain to part 2, etc.  When you split the break in the internal part order becomes apparent.  You would have to control the part assembly, which is a pain to do unless you wrote a python script. Anyway, I would do the splits on the original lines or a copy of them and change the dissolve field values at the original lines.  Then use the Buffer tool with a very small buffer and the List option and uncheck the create multi-part option.  Then use Spatial join with the One To Many option to get the polygon Join ID as a new group ID for every set of lines.  Select where the original line attributes equaled the lines and do a new dissolve on the new group ID and the old group ID with the create multi-part feature option checked.  These will create contiguous new branching groups. Thanks for your reply. I would be amenable to trying to your solution, but unfortunately I'm a little lost. I didn't do a dissolve, and am not sure how to "change the dissolve fields at the original lines." So, missing the first step, I can't continue with the rest. I don't have the original lines, as they were created and merged as I worked. The were not created based on any polygons, and there's no other spatial file that they're related to. I did, however, use the "Explode Multipart Feature" to separate the resultant lines after my split, and then merged the appropriate parts again. I would say the issue is solved. (Also, I still don't understand why this is the normal behavior for a split, why splitting in one location would cause a seemingly random split in another location, and the line fragments would be considered one line.) ...

To add to the above, only the Feature Service Owner or a user with Admin rights on the ArcGIS Online for Organizations site can export the data. Hi Max! Do you know if this is still the case? Is there documentation of this somewhere? I haven't seen anything in the help files about this. Thanks, Sarah ... View more

I'm looking for a similar solution. Maybe someone will have something to add! Sarah ... View more

Hi there, I edit my data locally on a regular basis and would prefer to replace the hosted file with a locally maintained one rather than doing my edits on a local copy of the service - is there a workaround? Some way to replace a copy saved for editing with a different file perhaps? Also, I have edits disabled and that appears to mean that not even I can edit it by making a local copy (I've logged in and followed the instructions but the options are greyed out). What's the recommended way for me to deal with this while maintaining control over the data? Thanks, Sarah ... View more

I could mention that this is with ArcGIS Online for Organizations. Anyone have any information? thanks, Sarah ... View more
