Model Builder iterator for databases

[HemantAngarkar2]

I have a few databases inside a folder containing raster and vector files. I want a model which will iterate through all file GDBs and at the end using extract data tool (Server tools) extract the data as per extent of a feature class for all the raster and FC.

I tried using iterate workspace on folder. But it runs through GDBs and not through FCs and raster datasets it contains.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi Hemant,

You may want to use nested models.

1. Create a model which iterates through feature classes in a workspace and perform extract
2. Another model which iterates through rasters in a workspace and perform extract.
3. Another parent model which will iterate through workplaces in a folder, pass the output workspace as input for previous two models

Hi Riyas,

Thanks for reply. I tried what you suggested, model looks something like this;

Inside nested models FC and Rasters, there are iterators for Feature class and Rasters. And just for testing purpose I am adding copy tool. However, it is not working. Am I missing anything?

Hi Hemant,

Model looks good to me, If your feature classes are within a dataset then you will have to create another model with iterator for dataset and chain them together.

Hi Riyas,

feature classes and raster are not under any dataset. What I used FC model for feature class and Raster model for raster separately giving test folder as a workspace which contains all my fGDBs. That worked. I don't see how I can automate the model so that in one model I could get both outputs. anyways I am good for now.
