Hi Guys ,
So here is my problem . i am working in a map technician role within my company. The company has computer drives which are shared between my location and another. Recently the other location , moved a lot of the data which was onto a shared folder onto a new drive. I think its actually another server on it different operating system going from Windows to Unix.
Unfortunately the other location did not tell us. We have recently found out and now a lot of our maps which accessed material off the shared area are now broken.
So now i m in the process of fixing the links. To start with i have been doing this by right clicking then updating the data sources but this is a very manual process. we have around 5000 links which are broken. A lot of the stuff we have is old and might need to archived , but as the links are broken , your not see what the maps are a lot of the time.
We have the Xtools extension which has some tool that will repair broken links , but it to is very manual.
i was wondering if anyone had some advice on tools or scripts , which could be used to speed up this process
Or as any experience of dealing with something like this , that would be great
Thanks Jack
Ahh... Anthony, this might be what I am looking for. I'm going to give it a go. Thanks for your quick response. If anyone else has other options, I'd be willing to look at them also.
