Hi Rebecca, 1. I added in mxd.save, makes no difference to the error. 2. The pipe, I believe indicates that 'data' is a feature dataset in the file geodatabase. I have used it successfully in other scripts, but not sure if it works for this instance? Hopefully this helps provide a bit more info. thanks

Good day everyone, I am playing around with the following code to fix broken data sources for file gedatabases. There's something I am getting wrong in it and I am getting the following error messages displayed. If anyone can point out what I'm doing wrong I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks very much, Chris import arcpy mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("CURRENT") for lyr in arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd): if lyr.name == 'roads': lyr.replaceDataSource('X:/GIS/geo_databases/labelling_features.gdb|data','FILEGDB_WORKSPACE','roads') elif lyr.name == 'railways': lyr.replaceDataSource('X:/GIS/geo_databases/labelling_features.gdb|data','FILEGDB_WORKSPACE','railways') elif lyr.name == 'rivers': lyr.replaceDataSource('X:/GIS/geo_databases/labelling_features.gdb|data','FILEGDB_WORKSPACE','rivers') elif lyr.name == 'lakes': lyr.replaceDataSource('X:/GIS/geo_databases/labelling_features.gdb|data','FILEGDB_WORKSPACE','lakes') elif lyr.name == 'bridge_polygons': lyr.replaceDataSource('X:/GIS/geo_databases/planning_data.gdb|data','FILEGDB_WORKSPACE','bridge_polygons') del mxd Result = True arcpy.SetParameterAsText(0,Result)‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Thought I'd provide a quick update. I've moved this functionality over to the following python script. Works well. import os import arcpy mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("CURRENT") locPath = str(os.path.basename(mxd.filePath)) LOC = locPath[0:12] returnLOC = LOC.upper() arcpy.SetParameterAsText(0, returnLOC)‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Quick update. I changed over to the following python script: import arcpy locno = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0) year = locno[3:7] workspace = "O:/plan/luam/1p2007/" + year + "/" + locno + "/data_for_item.gdb" arcpy.env.workspace = workspace inFc = 'in_memory\AddressSelect' numRecords = int(arcpy.GetCount_management(inFc).getOutput(0)) if numRecords == 0: arcpy.AddError('Incorrect address. Please try again.') result = False else: result = True arcpy.SetParameterAsText(1, result)‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ I tried it both using AddWarning and AddError. AddWarning gives the following to the output then continues to run through all tools/scripts providing either the message 'precondition is false' or 'inputs are not current': AddError provides the following, and seems to be a bit 'cleaner' and I think easier for the end user to know that something is not right: Something I find interesting is the script with AddWarning does display as Completed at the top left of the form while the AddError script shows Executing Test For Records... is that because in the case of AddWarning, the model did complete and with AddError it did not?

Super. Thanks for your time Curtis. Sent from my iPhone

Upon further investigation, it looks like maybe it is working. When Row Count = 0 it continues going through all tools/scripts it just doesn't execute them, due to either "precondition is false" or "inputs are not current". The following is what is displayed. Now that I think it's working, would there be a way to add in a arcpy.AddWarning("Incorrect address, try again") in addition to or in lieu of all of the precondition is false... inputs are not current...

Good day everyone, I think I'm having some trouble understanding how to make use of Get Count. I have the following: What I want to see happen is if Row Count = 0 > End the model. If Row Count > 0 continue the model. What I see is when Row Count > 0 the model continues and when Row Count = 0 it just seems to spin it's wheels for a bit (30 seconds) then end. I don't know if maybe it has something to do with Select Layer By Location using AddressSelect as it's Selecting Features? Or maybe I'm just using Get Count completely wrong and there's a different way I should be approaching this. Thanks for the help, Chris

Perfect Curtis! Thanks, exactly what I was looking for. Chris

Good day everyone, I have a model which has 2 string variable model parameters (LocAddress and LuCode). LocAddress is always going to be a different value but LuCode is always going to be one of a list of 8 options. I am having difficulty figuring out how I can put together a drop down list for the user to select from rather than have them type in the value. Here is how the form currently looks: Appreciate any help. Thanks!

Hello everyone, I have a parameter named LocNo. It is used as a parameter in a model or two. Currently I have the user manually enter the LocNo value when the model starts. LocNo also happens to be the first 12 characters in the name of the mxd file. Is there a way that I can grab the first 12 characters and use them as the value passed into the parameter? For example here is a part of the model that shows how the LocNo is used: If I can grab those first 12 characters from the filename and insert that into the parameter in the model I'm sure it would save on having some human error introduced. Thanks for the help, Chris

Good day everyone, I have a python script that: creates a new folder using user input for part of the folder name copies 6 files plus one file geodatabase into the folder then opens up one of the mxd files The following layers in the source file geodatabase have the following database locations: layer: transnet_centerline_for_labeling: layer: bridge_polygons: In the python script I use copytree to copy the file geodatabase to the destination location: Somehow the database location for these 2 layers is being changed in the file geodatabase when it is in the new location. For example: layer: transnet_centerline_for_labeling: layer: bridge_polygons: Of course H:\geo_databases does not exist, so the layers display with red exclamation marks: Does anybody have any idea why this path may be changing to a folder that doesn't exist. Is there something in how the database source path is defined that the layer is looking to what ever drive it happens to be mapped to? Although it's not just a difference of the drive letter, the change is from X:\GIS\geo_databases to H:\geo_databases. Thanks for the help, Chris
