Re: Switching Data Sources in ArcGIS Pro

Question

Hi,

Maybe I'm very stupid but I can't change datasource in my project.  I check the information in https://pro.arcgis.com/fr/pro-app/help/projects/update-data-sources.htm but, can't understand and find my way in.

I try to use catalog view but, can't find the updates menu.

I try, to do in my map, and database view, data source of the map I use,  a right clic on the  database I want to change. But I only have : Change version, Change Moment, Manage version and Refresh all in gray.  It's there the right place for us to easy change datasource.

Thanks,

Awkward to use since having a path to write (remembering dos time) , instead of selection folder like individual files.  But work, even if it takes forever to apply.

But, again, not as simple as choosing the database, right click and choose the new path.

Appreciate your help.

Did you try the "Find and Replace", as described at the bottom of this link:

https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/help/projects/update-data-sources.htm

It seems like you ought to be able to globally replace  "z:path/base1" with "z:path/base2".

See attached screen shot.

No, simple file database change.  z:path/base1 to z:path/base2 .  All layers are the same in these databases.
