How to use lists in MakeFeatureLayer tool?

Davec43

I'm using ListFeatureClasses to list all the layers in the GDB that I created and added layers to from a previous step. I then create another list and split the "\\" out and am left with a list of serials that I want. But when I add the two lists to the MakeFeatureLayer tool I get an error?

 

 

arcpy.env.workspace = r'\\FilePath\Tracks.gdb'
GDB = arcpy.env.workspace

full_fcs = []
for fc in arcpy.ListFeatureClasses():
    full_fcs.append(os.path.join(GDB,fc))
print(full_fcs)

serials = []
for i in full_fcs:
    serials.append(i.split("\\")[-1])
print(serials)
['T07JDD9C00100DP', 'T095XH6K002006B', 'T0K1CF8W3AH5FKP', 'T1WNBH3K00201QB', 'T3N3BHBA012024T', 'T3NZCJ9L0146GRK', 'T3NZSHAP00304LW']
arcpy.management.MakeFeatureLayer(full_fcs, serials)
Traceback (most recent call last):

Since trying to make feature layer, I assume the 'serials' are the names of the feature classes in the FGDB?

Looks like you are trying to make a feature layer for all the feature classes in the database.

Since the workspace is set, no need to split them up, just interate through the listfeatures and feed to the make features:

 

GDB = arcpy.env.workspace = r'\\FilePath\Tracks.gdb'

for fc in arcpy.ListFeatureClasses():
    arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(fc, f"{fc}_lyr")
