Using python to rename raster in SDE database

Username1

Hi All,

I'm trying to use Esri python API to access a raster in out SDE database and rename it. This is my shocking attempt at coding it.

For context:

The ultimate goal is at the time of loading data to our Shared SDE, check for a raster dataset with the same name and then take a copy of the version in Shared, rename it and save to our Archived SDE. Then overwrite the Shared version with the new version being loaded. I have an FME workbench that does the checking and archiving steps but I'm struggling to rename raster data so have turned to python but I have very little experience when it comes to coding. Any help would be appreciated.

You need to set your workspace environment before executing rename.  This lets arcpy know where the data you are referencing by name only lives.  Otherwise, I think you can use the full path to the data in rename.

Example setting workspace environment:

# Import system modules
import arcpy

# Set workspace
arcpy.env.workspace = "C:/workspace/test.gdb"

# Set local variables
in_data =  "test"
out_data = "testFC"
data_type = "FeatureClass"

# Run Rename
arcpy.management.Rename(in_data, out_data, data_type)
