One of the biggest concerns for GIS publishers is to keep their services updated with the latest content while minimizing downtime. The stakes become higher when a layer or service is referenced in multiple web maps, applications and layers. Updating the content of a layer should not break the web maps and apps that refer to them.<\/p>\n

I think it is quite like NASCAR pit stops, where replacing a wheel should be done in the least possible time and should not deteriorate performance.<\/p>\n

With the latest release of ArcGIS Online, we have introduced Replace Layer <\/b>functionality to address this concern for hosted vector tile layers and we cannot wait to tell you all about it!<\/p>\n

Replace Layer<\/a> is a fast and efficient way to update hosted tile layers. It lets you perform QA tests before updating production content, and lets you archive previous content too.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":618472,"id":618472,"title":"ReplaceLayer_UI_1","filename":"ReplaceLayer_UI-1.jpg","filesize":15182,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/09\/ReplaceLayer_UI-1.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-online\/data-management\/update-hosted-tile-layer-using-replace-layer\/replacelayer_ui-2","alt":"Replace Layer option for hosted tile layers","author":"8382","description":"","caption":"","name":"replacelayer_ui-2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":617162,"date":"2019-10-01 04:32:52","modified":"2019-10-01 19:03:18","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":326,"height":351,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/09\/ReplaceLayer_UI-1-213x200.jpg","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/09\/ReplaceLayer_UI-1.jpg","medium-width":242,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/09\/ReplaceLayer_UI-1.jpg","medium_large-width":326,"medium_large-height":351,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/09\/ReplaceLayer_UI-1.jpg","large-width":326,"large-height":351,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/09\/ReplaceLayer_UI-1.jpg","1536x1536-width":326,"1536x1536-height":351,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/09\/ReplaceLayer_UI-1.jpg","2048x2048-width":326,"2048x2048-height":351,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/09\/ReplaceLayer_UI-1.jpg","card_image-width":326,"card_image-height":351,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/09\/ReplaceLayer_UI-1.jpg","wide_image-width":326,"wide_image-height":351}},"image_position":"left-center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

How to Replace Layer<\/h3>\n

Simply upload and publish your new content from a vector tile package (.vtpk) as a new layer. Then, go to the item page of your live production layer and use the Replace Layer<\/b>\u00a0option to update it with content from the new layer.<\/p>\n

The user interface provides you with a panel to select a vector tile layer from the content you own. When a selection is made, it checks<\/strong> to ensure that the replacement content chosen is compatible with the existing layer.<\/p>\n

It warns you if a mismatch in the layer’s coordinate system, tiling scheme, or configuration can adversely affect web maps, apps or dependent tile layers that are referencing its style.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":618552,"id":618552,"title":"checkingCompatibillity","filename":"checkingCompatibillity.jpg","filesize":2726,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/09\/checkingCompatibillity.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-online\/data-management\/update-hosted-tile-layer-using-replace-layer\/checkingcompatibillity","alt":"message while checking compatibility for replacement","author":"8382","description":"","caption":"","name":"checkingcompatibillity","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":617162,"date":"2019-10-01 05:56:33","modified":"2019-10-01 20:09:56","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":452,"height":72,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/09\/checkingCompatibillity-213x72.jpg","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":72,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/09\/checkingCompatibillity.jpg","medium-width":452,"medium-height":72,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/09\/checkingCompatibillity.jpg","medium_large-width":452,"medium_large-height":72,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/09\/checkingCompatibillity.jpg","large-width":452,"large-height":72,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/09\/checkingCompatibillity.jpg","1536x1536-width":452,"1536x1536-height":72,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/09\/checkingCompatibillity.jpg","2048x2048-width":452,"2048x2048-height":72,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/09\/checkingCompatibillity.jpg","card_image-width":452,"card_image-height":72,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/09\/checkingCompatibillity.jpg","wide_image-width":452,"wide_image-height":72}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

What’s More?<\/h3>\n

If you are wondering, “If only there was a way to automate this process,” look no further!<\/p>\n

You can use the Replace Web Layer<\/a> geoprocessing tool in ArcGIS Pro and the replace_service operation<\/a> in the ArcGIS API for Python to automate it all. These tools are available for ArcGIS Enterprise too.<\/p>\n
