Is there a tool to Recalculate Feature Extents

Hi,

I have hundreds of feature datasets that have incorrect XY entents (unknown reason as to why), but I am hoping to save time by automating the pressing of the 'Recalculate' button as seen below:

Does anyone know of a tool that I can run with an iterator to run over each of my feature classes???

Thanks

That's that infinite loop I was talking about. The tool seems to error out a lot. So I loop until it doesn't which is mostly the 1st time, but often it has to loop back a 2nd. It could be from some process trying to make a connection to the database.

The "break" after the recalculate extent will break the loop on a successful run and move on to the next feature class. Otherwise, it will disconnect all connected users and loop back around to try again.

I could have created a boolean something like...

for feature in dataList:
     succeeded = False
     while succeeded == False:
         try:
              # recalculate
              succeeded = True
         except:
              # disconnect users

And it would accomplish the same thing without the "infinite loop" and "break"

Hi Ben,

Are the feature classes residing in a file geodatabase or an enterprise geodatabase?

Thanks

Everything resides in Enterprise GeoDB

There is a new geoprocessing tool at 10.4 'Recalculate Feature Class Extent'

Note this tool requires an exclusive lock for it to successfully execute.

You can also use modelbuilder to iterate through all the FC's in the FGDB that is then passed on to Recalculate FeatureClassExtent.
