RebuildIndexes_management Error

LarryAdgate — Sat, 11 Dec 2021 21:56:17 GMT

#For arcpy.RebuildIndexes_management, below is a script I copied directly off the ESRI help, and when running it, it errors out. #When researching the error, the folloing tech memo appeared: #https://support.esri.com/en/technical-article/000011553
#Below is my error message:
#RebuildIndexes raise e ExecuteError: ERROR 000087: Could not open table Southwest.GSW_SDE.Southwest_Net Failed to execute (RebuildIndexes).
#If I use the RebuildIndexes_management tool(red toolbox) in ArcMap it works, but not in a script form.....
#I am unclear how to apply the workaround described in the tech memo and I was hopeful someone could help......

#Once again, thank you for you assistance,

Been a while since I ran into this issue, so not exactly sure what I figured out, but here is the modified code I use that has been working just fine. Give it a try, see if it resolves you issue:

        # Get a list of all the datasets the user has access to.
        # First, get all the stand alone tables, feature classes and rasters.
        arcpy.env.workspace = workspace
        dataList = arcpy.ListTables() + arcpy.ListFeatureClasses() + arcpy.ListRasters()

        # Next, for feature datasets get all of the datasets and featureclasses
        # from the list and add them to the master list.
        for dataset in arcpy.ListDatasets("", "Feature"):
            ptd = arcpy.env.workspace = os.path.join(workspace,dataset)
            for ds in arcpy.ListFeatureClasses():
                dataList.append(os.path.join(ptd,ds))
        arcpy.env.workspace = workspace

        # Process: Rebuild Indexes
        arcpy.RebuildIndexes_management(PublicWorks_OS_sde,"SYSTEM",dataList,"ALL")‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

PS, notice how much easier it is to read/decipher when in the syntax highlighter.....
