Export Raster Data Type Attributes

LaneHowerton — Mon, 09 Mar 2015 15:34:57 GMT

Trying to convert all the photos and sketches we have stored in a raster data type field in several feature classes to the new ArcGIS attachments method. Hoping for a built-in tool in ArcMap for this but may have to resort to Python (pretty newbie to Python).

All our data is stored in a SQL Server Enterprise Db. We do have ArcServer installed as well and using AGO so hope using attachments will make the photos viewable on AGO and ArcGIS Explorer and Collector apps.

I've tried this which seems to be exactly what I have in mind, but keep getting an error and the arcpy.da.SearchCursor help says raster fields are not supported.

Here's the error I'm getting:

Runtime error

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "<string>", line 10, in <module>

RuntimeError: cannot open '\plwc_gis.LANE.WastewaterDataset\plwc_gis.LANE.wwCustomerConnection'

Hi Lane,

From the error, it appears it's failing when trying to save the TIFF file. Try setting the arcpy.env.workspace to a directory. Ex:

import arcpy, os
output_path = r"C:\temp\attachments"
arcpy.env.workspace = output_path
