I am using following to copy selected feature from a Shapefile to a Dataset in a File Geodatabase
As you can see I tried to create layer from shapefile by doing
arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(inFeature, 'lyr')
and then select the attribute like
arcpy.SelectLayerByAttribute_management('lyr', "NEW_SELECTION", '"NAME_1" = \''+slectedCounty+'\' AND "NAME_2" = \''+county+'\'')
and eventually I tried to copy selected to the created dataset in the generated File Geodatabase
arcpy.CopyFeatures_management("lyr", dataset_path+'\\'+county.replace(" ", "_") )
I am not getting any error message but the created dataset in the Geodatabase is empty. I testes the out message of
arcpy.AddMessage('"NAME_1" = \''+slectedCounty+'\' AND "NAME_2" = \''+county+'\'')
in ArcMap Select by Attribute window and it is selecting the layer which mean the query is correct but I am not able to load the selection into the dataset.
def execute(self, parameters, messages):
"""The source code of the tool."""
inFeature = parameters[0].valueAsText
slectedCounty = parameters[1].valueAsText
counties = []
ws = parameters[2].valueAsText
arcpy.CreateFileGDB_management(ws, slectedCounty)
dataset_path = ws+'\\'+ slectedCounty +'.gdb'
sr = arcpy.SpatialReference(4326)
arcpy.AddMessage(dataset_path)
arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(inFeature, 'lyr')
def unique_values(table , field):
arcpy.AddMessage('Proccess Started ...')
with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(table, [field], '"NAME_1" = \''+slectedCounty+'\'') as cursor:
return sorted({row[0] for row in cursor})
uniques = unique_values(inFeature, 'NAME_2')
for unique in uniques:
counties.append(unique)
for county in counties:
arcpy.AddMessage(county)
arcpy.CreateFeatureDataset_management(dataset_path, county.replace(" ", "_"), sr)
arcpy.AddMessage('The ' + county + ' County Added to the Geodatabase')
arcpy.AddMessage('Adding Layer to GDB Started')
arcpy.AddMessage('"NAME_1" = \''+slectedCounty+'\' AND "NAME_2" = \''+county+'\'')
arcpy.SelectLayerByAttribute_management('lyr', "NEW_SELECTION", '"NAME_1" = \''+slectedCounty+'\' AND "NAME_2" = \''+county+'\'')
arcpy.CopyFeatures_management("lyr", dataset_path+'\\'+county.replace(" ", "_") )
return
Can you please let me know what I am doing wrong or missing here?
