  1. Automating Geodatabase Administration with Python Russell Brennan

  2. Python and Geodatabases • Python • Is the programming language for geoprocessing. • ArcPy site package is used to access geoprocessing functionality. • Geodatabase • Core ArcGIS Data model • A comprehensive model for representing and managing GIS data • A physical store of geographic data. • A transactional model for managing GIS workflows.

  3. Things you need to know • Familiar with using Python for geoprocessing • Arcpy, Python lists, looping, string manipulation, data types. • Familiar with Enterprise geodatabase concepts • Versions, replicas, connection files, data ownership.

  4. Agenda • Demo 1 • Geodatabase maintenance. • Reconcile/post/delete versions, synchronize replicas, error reporting and automatic notifications • Demo 2 • Scheduling your scripts to run (Windows) • Brief discussion of new admin 10.1 features

  5. Version Maintenance • Synchronize replicas • Reconcile versions • Post versions • Delete versions – this will depend on your organization’s workflow and version structure. • Compress database • Email notifications

  6. DEMO Rec, Post, Compress

  7. Scheduling your script to run • Using Windows task scheduler you can automate when your script will be run. • This is especially useful for tasks that need to be run on a regular basis.

  8. DEMO Scheduling

  9. What’s new at 10.1 • Tools: • Analyze Datasets • Rebuild Indexes • Reconcile Versions • Python functions: • ListVersions • ListReplicas • ListUsers (lists connected users) • DisconnectUsers • Describe will return the current release of a geodatabase

  10. This script is available online: • Should be page 5 or 6 of the Geoprocessing tool gallery. • URL • http://resources.arcgis.com/gallery/file/geoprocessing/details?entryID=A709782C-1422-2418-7FD5-E83695D0381E
