Database exclusive schema lock

[TonyAlmeida]

I updated to ArcPro 2.6 (python 3.6.10) and after I noticed  that one of my tools/scrips now giving the following error. I am assuming something from the ArcPro 2.6 python 3.6.10 is now throwing it off but I am not sure what. I did not change any of the code. I tried change workspace to from r"Database Connections\Connection to Blah" to " C:\Users\***\AppData\Roaming\ESRI\Desktop10.6\ArcCatalog\***.gds" but that didn't work. Can someone shine in as to why the code is failing after the upgrade to ArcPro 2.6?

The database is in a ArcSDE Personal SQL Server

you are mixing old and new cursors... might be an issue

old

rows = arcpy.SearchCursor(input)

new

SearchCursor—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation 

with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(fc, fields) as cursor:

    etc

[TonyAlmeida]

Why would a searchCursor cause a exclusive schema lock? It worked prior to updating to Pro 2.6.

[DanPatterson · Accepted solution]

Search cursors also support with statements to reset iteration and aid in removal of locks.

Comments on the data access cursors can be found in their various help topics.

They do perform better

[TonyAlmeida]

I see I guess I didn't see that but good to know.

I changed part of the code to  and got pasted the schema lock but now I am facing that the Line_teast already exists.

Even through I have arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True.

input = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0)
Range = float(arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1))
# Create empty Point and Array objects
point = arcpy.Point()
array = arcpy.Array()

# A list that will hold each the Polyline object
featureList = []

with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(input, "SHAPE@") as cursor1:
    for row in cursor1:
        #geom = row.Shape
        point.X = row[0].centroid.X
        point.Y = row[0].centroid.Y
        # Add each point to the array
        array.add(point)    

# Create the polyline
polyline = arcpy.Polyline(array)
# Clear the array for future use
array.removeAll()
featureList.append(polyline)

del row

# Copy the polyline to file geodatabase to create a Shape_Length field
arcpy.CopyFeatures_management(featureList, "line_test")

with arcpy.da.SearchCursor("line_test", ["SHAPE@", "SHAPE@LENGTH"]) as cursor1:
    for row in cursor1:
            #geom = row.shape
            X = row[0].lastPoint.X
            Y = row[0].lastPoint.Y
            length = row[1] / 5.28 + Range
    del row
row_value = (length, (X, Y))
        
cursor = arcpy.da.InsertCursor(pointLayer, ("SiteNum", "SHAPE@XY"))
cursor.insertRow(row_value)
