Hello Everybody! Please I really need help with this python script. The objective of the script is to list all the mxd files in the specified folder, identify all the layers within the mxd that were sourced from my old SDE database server, and then change the layer source to my new SDE database server.
In other words, the main purpose of the script is to do a bulk data source change for all the layers in my mxd files
So far the script is able to list all the mxds and the paths of the layer sources but it is not changing the data sources for layers in my SDE as needed
import arcpy, os, getpass
newServer = "TNR-GISSQL19-P"
user = getpass.getuser()
#user_dir = os.path.join(u'C:\\Users\\', user)
user_dir = u'Y:\\VIEWERS\\T' ### this specifies the directory containing the mxd files
os.chdir(user_dir)
############create logfile############

#mxd.save() ## test first with this commented out, because otherwise you will have to revert to Frogmouth if you want to re-test
logfile.close()
