See attached python script. My script already uses this function.. I was just trying to figure out a way to change the connection properties to a direct connect in python. ... View more

I attempted to run both scripts and they both failed. The first script said folderPath is not defined and the second secript said that there was an invalid mxdname. Any ideas? For the creation of the tool, are their any output variables that should be created? ... View more

PYTHONPATH is a Windows (or UNIX) environment variable that needs to be set before the script is run, if you need it. The purpose of that variable is to modify sys.path when Python launches. Sys.path is a list of folders that tells Python where to look for imports, ie "import mymodule" will look for a file "mymodule.py" or "mymodule.pyc" through the sys.path, and use the first one it finds. It looks like you are trying to invoke the ntpath module. This module is already in the sys.path, so you could get to it with: import ntpath However, you don't need to import it -- the os module is what you want (and what you are using).  I'm pretty sure os calls ntpath for you on windows, something else on Mac or Unix. If you need to alter where to look at runtime, you can alter the sys.path as follows. import sys sys.path.append(r"C:\mytools\python\modules") You can check out where imports will look by listing your sys.path: >>> import sys >>> sys.path Note, by default, "" is the first item in sys.path. So if you include a custom module in the same folder as the script, it will always use that version. http://docs.python.org/tutorial/modules.html I attempted to run both scripts and they both failed. The first script said folderPath is not defined and the second secript said that there was an invalid mxdname. Any ideas?

I have reposted my code. Does anyone have any ideas on why it is not wiriting over my mxd's? It works as a standalone script, but not as a tool in a toolbox. Thanks, Brittney ... View more

What is the particular error you are getting? Or does it run through without error and just not make any changes to the mxd? Also, posting your code with code blocks will make it easier for us to help. I am not getting an error, rathre it is nto saving my mxds ... View more

[/HR] I would try this mxd.saveACopy(file_name, {version}) I had this originally in my code, but I simply just want to update the existing mxd's. (Since I will be running the tool multiple times to repair multiple sde databases within a single mxd.) Do I need to create a derived variable? If so, where/how would I call this out in my code? Any help would be greatly appreciated. ... View more

Ok I got the tool to work but it is not saving the mxds.. am I missing a variable? Thanks, Brittney ... View more
