Hello All,
I have created a python add-in. This tool abandons the selected feature(s) to it's abandoning feature class. I read the path of the layer and create the path of the abanond layer in the following way.
mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocumnet("CURRENT") # Working on Current Map
lyr = arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd)[0] # Reading the first layer object
lyr_src = lyr.dataSource # Getting the path of the layer
abandon_layer = lyr_src+"\AbandonLayer" # AbandonLayer path since, Abandon layer stays in same feature dataset in my situation.
Now, Whenever I rename the SDE(database connection) in ArcCatalog I am not getting the updated path of SDE.
Note: lyr_src variable still shows the old path only. Hence, I am not getting my feature class to perform the operation. Even though I am refreshing ArcMap, ArcCatalog, Active view it's not helping me.
Conclusion: I know that path is breaking
Please, give me an idea. How to handle this situation automatically.
Thank you for your time
Jay
