Developing a System Maintenance Plan and Utilizing Python to Aid in System Maintenance
summary
Starts by inventorying every Python script, then runs checkups, performance profiling, and a future‑enhancement loop; audits occur every six months and feed a SQL database and SSRS reports that populate an ArcGIS Enterprise lineage view. Automated Python tools crawl ArcGIS Online ( ~2,700 items ), flag unused content and license expirations, and produce a mission‑critical test list for staged upgrades. Recent audit removes 16% cleaned of items and produces measurable metrics for executive support.
