Reg : Mosaic Dataset Copy from one gdb to another

[VikramS]

All,

What tool should i use to transfer Mosaic Dataset from one file geodatabase to another fiel geodatabase .

I tried using arcpy.Copy_Management(in,out,"MOsaicDataset") . It is breaking the link  ..

Can you please help me out

Thanks

Hi Vikram,

The Copy_management will work.  When you initially loaded the rasters into the mosaic dataset, did you use UNC paths?  If not, and you copy the mosaic dataset to another server, the mosaic dataset will not be able to find the rasters. 

You can repair the mosaic dataset paths using the Repair Mosaic Dataset Paths tool and specify a UNC path.

Hello Jake ,

If I use like below

path = r"\\some.com\world\AppsData\Test\Test1\test.gdb\Test_2010_NC"
arcpy.env.workspace = r"\\some.com\world\AppsData\Source\Test_2010.gdb"
arcpy.Copy_management("Test_2010_NC",path,"MosaicDataset")

I am not able to see the mosaic dataset . I can see boundary feature class and log table in the destination geodatabase ..

Can you let me know whats the problem here . Thanks for the help

Right-click on your mosaic dataset > Modify > Repair.  Can you send a screen shot of this?

Thats the output I am getting after running the Copy Tool . I didn't complete the whole Copy Tool Process as it started copying the source data into the destination

Suppose my Source data was in C:\Test\Test1\Test2\Images

If my destination gdb is in D:\temp . Then IT starts creating Folder Test1\Test2\Images (same as source) . Starts copying the images as well ..
