Use data from SDE connections in python scripts

HåkonSolberg

With ArcGIS 10, after migrating our geodatabase from file geodatabase to SDE (ms sql express), our python scripts have stopped working.

sample:

import arcpy

arcpy.env.workspace = r'C:\Sandbox'
TempName = 'TempStorageDB.sde\\TempStorageDB.DBO.name'

arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(TempName, 'TempName')

print 'Finished!

This outputs:
arcgisscripting.ExecuteError: Failed to execute. Parameters are not valid.
ERROR 000732: Input Features: Dataset TempStorageDB.sde\TempStorageDB.DBO.name does not exist or is not supported.

What are we missing here?

Nevermind, reinstalling SP3 did the trick.
