How to find and replace workspace paths in ArcGIS?
The findAndReplaceWorkspacePaths method on the MapDocument object is intended to perform a global find and replace of workspace paths for all layers and tables in a map document that share that workspace path. This method can be used to replace the path to multiple workspace types at once (for example, CAD files, shapefiles, and file geodatabases).
How to find and replace data sources in ArcPy?
A data source for a layer or table is the combination of the workspace and dataset. The findAndReplaceWorkspacePaths method on the MapDocument object is intended to perform a global find and replace of workspace paths for all layers and tables in a map document that share that workspace path.
How to change workspace type in arcpy.mapping?
The replaceDataSource method on the TableView object is similar to the findAndReplaceWorkspacePath method, but in addition to being able to change a workspace type, the dataset can also be changed. This is the only method that enables you to replace a table’s dataset within a workspace.
What is the find and replace workspacepaths method?
The findAndReplaceWorkspacePaths method is intended for replacing part or all of a layer’s or table’s workspace path. The replaceWorkspaces method allows you to change not only a path but also the workspace type.
What is the find and replace method in ArcGIS?
The findAndReplaceWorkspacePath method on the Layer object is intended to perform a find and replace of the workspace path for a single layer in a map document or a layer file.
How are workspace paths defined in arcpy.mapping?
A workspace path is the system path to the workspace. In the case of file-based data (for example, CAD, shapefiles, rasters), it includes the name of the folder that contains the data. With file-based geodatabases, it includes the name of the geodatabase. SDE workspace paths are defined by the system path to the SDE connection file.
