(Required)

The table, point, line, or polygon feature layer that will have data appended to it.

Syntax: As described in detail in the Feature input topic, this parameter can be a URL to a feature service layer. Filters are not supported for this parameter.

//REST web example
{"url": "https://myportal.domain.com/server/rest/services/Hosted/hurricaneTrack/FeatureServer/0"}

//REST scripting example
"inputLayer": {"url": "https://myportal.domain.com/server/rest/services/Hosted/hurricaneTrack/FeatureServer/0"}

(Required)

The table, point, line, or polygon features to be appended to inputLayer. To append geometry, appendLayer must have the same geometry type and time type as inputLayer.

Syntax: As described in Feature input, this parameter can be one of the following:

• A URL to a feature service layer with an optional filter to select specific features
• A URL to a big data catalog service layer with an optional filter to select specific features
• A feature collection

//Rest web example
{"url": "https://myportal.domain.com/server/rest/services/Hosted/hurricaneTrack/FeatureServer/0", "filter": "Month = 'September'"}

//REST scripting example
"appendLayer": {"url": "https://myportal.domain.com/server/rest/services/Hosted/hurricaneTrack/FeatureServer/0", "filter": "Month = 'September'"}

(Required)

Defines how the fields in appendLayer are appended to inputLayer. By default, all appendLayer fields that match inputLayer schemas will be appended; fields that exist in inputLayer but not in appendLayer will be appended with null values; and fields that exist in appendLayer but not in inputLayer will not be appended. Optionally, you can choose how inputLayer fields will be appended through the following operations:

• AppendField—Matches the inputLayer field with an appendLayer field of a different name. Field types must match.
• Expression—Calculates values for the resulting field. Values are calculated using Arcade expressions. Use null to assign null values.

[{
   "inputLayerField": "Mean_Sales",
   "mappingType": "AppendField",
   "mappingValue": "Average_Sales"
},
{
   "inputLayerField": "Bonus",
   "mappingType": "Expression",
   "mappingValue": "$feature['WeeklyRate'] * 1.5"
},
{
   "inputLayerField": "Errors",
   "mappingType": "Expression",
   "mappingValue": "null"
}]

"fieldMapping": [{
   "inputLayerField": "DATE",
   "mappingType": "AppendField",
   "mappingValue": "STARTDATE"
},
{
   "inputLayerField": "TIME",
   "mappingType": "AppendField",
   "mappingValue": "STARTDATE"
},
{
   "inputLayerField": "avg_value",
   "mappingType": "Expression",
   "mappingValue": "Average($feature['sum_week1'], $feature['sum_week2'])"
}]

(Optional)

The context parameter contains additional settings that affect task execution. For this task, there are two settings:

• Extent (extent)—A bounding box that defines the analysis area. Only those features that intersect the bounding box will be analyzed.
• Processing spatial reference (processSR)—The features will be projected into this coordinate system for analysis.

{
"extent" : {extent},
"processSR" : {spatial reference}
}

The response format. The default response format is html.

Values: html | json
