topic Automatic update of attributes/fields data for mosaic dataset footprint features in Data Management Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/automatic-update-of-attributes-fields-data-for/m-p/494935#M28100 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hi,</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>I was wondering if there is anyway we can update an attribute of mosaic dataset after a new raster is added to it. I have a little knowledge about getting a reference to the mosaic dataset contents by first making a 'mosaic dataset layer' but for some reasons the expression to make a subset from the mosaic dataset features/footprint features and then perform 'calculate field' task is changing data for entire features inside it. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I can accomplish the same thing by exporting the required features into another feature class, manipulating and then appending into a final target feature class and use it in the old image service definition task to publish it as a service but as per the documentation this method is replaced with the new arcgis image server improved data model i.e., mosaic dataset and it suggests to work with mosaic dataset.&nbsp; </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Please share your thought if there is any automated/script api to update time/product name/group/custom date attribute information for mosaic dataset when we programmatically add a new raster image to it. I know we can work with the C# arcobjects based api to define a 'raster type' for custom image upload and automatically fill this information but I am looking for a simpler method because i think it is an overkill to create a custom 'Raster Type' for just updating an attribute. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I am working with ArcGIS server/sde and desktop 10 on Windows 2008 environment. Thanks for your time and support in advance.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Sun, 24 Jun 2012 20:30:16 GMT MohammadIshfaq 2012-06-24T20:30:16Z Automatic update of attributes/fields data for mosaic dataset footprint features https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/automatic-update-of-attributes-fields-data-for/m-p/494935#M28100 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hi,</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>I was wondering if there is anyway we can update an attribute of mosaic dataset after a new raster is added to it.
