Hi Vikram,

The Copy_management will work. When you initially loaded the rasters into the mosaic dataset, did you use UNC paths? If not, and you copy the mosaic dataset to another server, the mosaic dataset will not be able to find the rasters.

You can repair the mosaic dataset paths using the Repair Mosaic Dataset Paths tool and specify a UNC path.

Hello Jake ,

If I use like below

path = r"\\some.com\world\AppsData\Test\Test1\test.gdb\Test_2010_NC"
arcpy.env.workspace = r"\\some.com\world\AppsData\Source\Test_2010.gdb"
arcpy.Copy_management("Test_2010_NC",path,"MosaicDataset")

I am not able to see the mosaic dataset . I can see boundary feature class and log table in the destination geodatabase ..

Can you let me know whats the problem here . Thanks for the help

Right-click on your mosaic dataset > Modify > Repair. Can you send a screen shot of this?

Hi Jake ,

Thats the output I am getting after running the Copy Tool . I didn't complete the whole Copy Tool Process as it started copying the source data into the destination

Suppose my Source data was in C:\Test\Test1\Test2\Images

If my destination gdb is in D:\temp . Then IT starts creating Folder Test1\Test2\Images (same as source) . Starts copying the images as well ..

I was able to reproduce the same behavior with ArcGIS Desktop 10 SP 5. This appears to be resolved at 10.1. I would recommend following up with Tech Support so they can log this bug, attach your customer information to the bug, and offer any workarounds.

Thanks Jake for the info . I was wondering if you could provide me any other way of achieving the same thing ..
