How to add a path to default database in ArcPy script?

KarolinaKorzeniowska

I would like to add a path to default database in Arcpy script. The path will be a place where the results from evaluation will be saved. However, I do not want to add a full path, but a relative path, which enable to apply my script also in another computer. How to add relative path to default database?

Here is an edited script. Let us know if you have any questions or if it is still not working for you. If you are planning to run this script from ArcMap and you just want to use the default geodatabase there is no reason to set path = arcpy.env.workspace unless you just want to reference it using the shorter variable name 'path' throughout your script. Otherwise all outputs that do not have a specific path will be saved to the default geodatabase.

# Import arcpy module  
import os  
import arcpy  
from arcpy import env  
from arcpy.sa import *

arcpy.CheckOutExtension("Spatial")
env.overwriteOutput= True
  
# Set the input data  
inRaster = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0)  
# Set the output data  
outRaster = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1)  
    
neighborhood = NbrRectangle(3, 3, "CELL")  
# Check out the ArcGIS Spatial Analyst extension license  

# Execute FocalStatistics  
outFocalStatistics = FocalStatistics(inRaster, neighborhood, "MEAN","")  
# Save the output   
outFocalStatistics.save("DEM_mean")  

# Execute Minus  
outMinus = inRaster - outFocalStatistics  
# Save the output  
outMinus.save(outRaster)
