topic How to use python to reset featuredataset\featureclass data source in a map layer to be in different workspace and with a different owner. in Developers Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/developers-questions/how-to-use-python-to-reset-featuredataset/m-p/7226#M36 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>The&nbsp;arcpy&nbsp;layer function&nbsp;layer.replaceDataSource(targetworkspace, "SDE_WORKSPACE",newDataset, False) works perfect when the newDataset is a SDE feature class. But it does not work with feature dataset\featureclass.
