Hi Zack, 1.  You will need to update the updateParameters function within the ToolValidator class with the following: def updateParameters(self):   if self.params[0].value:     sr = arcpy.Describe(self.params[0].value).spatialReference     self.params[7].value = sr.name   self.params[7].enabled = 0   return The index value for self.params[7] may be different depending on where you want the input coordinate system to be shown within the tool. 2.  Change the parameter's Data Type to 'Feature Layer'.  This will allow you to drag and drop, and also provide a dropdown listing the feature classes within ArcMap. ...

Hi Richard, Here's an example on how to do this using python: fc = "Boundary" rows = arcpy.SearchCursor(fc) for row in rows:     geom = row.shape     if geom.firstPoint.X == geom.lastPoint.X:         print row.OBJECTID del row, rows It will compare the X coordinate of the first and last point within each line.  If they are the same the OBJECTID of the line is printed. ...

There is a risk using oracle packages or procedures to create the replication due to the many tables associated with feature datasets/feature classes/tables/geodatabse objects (i.e. geometric networks, topologies, etc).  Replication using this method is not supported by ESRI. I'm not quite sure what you mean by a 'network rebuild'.  Could you elaborate a little more on this? ... View more

If you are replicating a very large  amount of data, you may want to consider using the Register existing  data option.  If you have a fast method of transferring data between databases, such  as a database dump, it may be easier to copy data from one database to  another, then go through the Create Replica wizard with the option to  register with existing data. This creates the replica versions needed to  synchronize changes between the geodatabases but does not go through  the lengthy process of copying data since it already exists in both  locations.  More information can be found here. ...

Hi Ben, Can you post the code you are working with?  Be sure to wrap it in the CODE tags when posting. ... View more

The bug doesn't state that it will fail for Windows XP SP3.  I would try the following: 1.  Add the 'Create Replica' tool to a Model Builder and run the model and see if it succeeds 2.  If the model succeeds, delete the replica from both databases, and delete the feature class from the Child Geodatabase 3.  Export the model to a script (inside Model Builder:  Model > Export > To Python Script) 4.  Attempt to execute the script If the script fails, I would recommend contacting Tech Support. ...

I�??ve opened several layers under the table of contents in ArcMap, but cannot see all of them at the same time.  I can zoom to a state of Maryland layer and see it in the workspace. However, the other layers (roads, hydrology, census blocks) in my table of contents are invisible.  Zooming to one of the �??invisible�?� layers reveals it and all the other previously invisible layers. This sounds like a projection issue.  One or more of your shapefiles/feature classes are in the wrong projection.  I would add some reference data to your ArcMap document that you know is in the correct projection.  You can find such data at: C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10\Reference Systems I would recommend adding the usstpln83 shapefile.  See which of your shapefiles align correctly in the state of maryland. I decided to move on to my next planned task, creating a new shapefile  in ArcCatalog, dragging it over to the table of contents in ArcMap,  launching the Editor tool and digitizing (drawing) the feature. I was  able to create the shapefile and successfully move it to the ArcMap  table of contents. However, I cannot edit it!! It�??s sitting in the table  of contents but NOT listed as one of the files available for editing in  the Editor window. Try creating a new editing template: 1.  On the Create Features editing window, click 'Organize Templates' at the top 2.  Click New Template 3.  Select any layers that are not appearing in the Create Feature editing window So I gave up and decided to clip all the major roads to just those  within the state of Maryland so I�??d feel I�??d accomplished something!   OMG, I can�??t even clip!  In fact NONE of the common geoprocessing tools  work.  What is the error you are receiving when you try and execute the geoprocessing tool? ...

Hi Steve, Are you running Windows 7 64-bit?  I found a bug regarding this: NIM073906:  Cannot run Create Replica as a script on a Windows 7 64-bit machine. One workaround that may help is running the python syntax of the script through the Python window within ArcMap.  Running the 'Create Replica' through the Python window or within model builder should not fail.  I would also recommend contacting Tech Support to add your customer information to this bug number. ...

Hi Holly, How did you create the web map?  Did you use the Java/.NET ADF or did you use an API (i.e. Flex, Silverlight, Javascript)? ... View more

Hi Denise, Here is some sample code that should get you started.  What you will need to do is use the 'os.walk' command to iterate through all sub-directories.  The below code starts at the directory specified with 'env.workspace' and iterates through all of its sub-directories.  It will add the polyline file of any DWG it finds. import arcpy, os from arcpy import env env.workspace = r"C:\temp\python" for (path, dirs, files) in os.walk(env.workspace):     for file in files:         # find all DWG files in folder and all subfolders         if ".dwg" in file.lower()[-4:]:             dwg_path = os.path.join(path, file) + "\Polyline"             # set the MXD             mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("CURRENT")             # set the Dataframe             df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd,"*")[0]             # create a new layer             newlayer = arcpy.mapping.Layer(dwg_path)             # add the layer to the map             arcpy.mapping.AddLayer(df, newlayer,"AUTO_ARRANGE") del mxd ...

Hi Justin, You will not need the full path of the executable since it's copied to the System32 directory.  Also, a couple other notes: -the exe is 'AGSSOM.exe', you had 'ArcSOM.exe' -when specifying 'r' before a path, you will just need to use one '\' between directories Try the following instead: import os # variables server = "VULCAN" command = "-x" # use -x for stop service = "Narcotics" # use AGSSOM.exe to start map service from command line commandLine = "agssom " + server + " " + command + " " + service os.system(commandLine) print "Finished" Also, be sure that 'C:\Windows\System32' is referenced in your PATH environment variable. ...
