I using the below code snippet to create a route event and will eventually set it up to accept input parameters for the route ID, begin MP and End MP. So I was thinking I test setting it up to "build" the in event properties input using string formatting. But the string I have assigned to the props variable does not seem to work.  Any ideas out there of what I am missing? import arcpy import os arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = 1 arcpy.env.workspace = r"\\itdhq1apt50\GIS_Data\NeedsTracking\Scratch.gdb" gdb_loc = arcpy.env.workspace scratch = arcpy.env.scratchWorkspace scratch_gdb = os.path.join(scratch, 'scratch.gdb') print "starting this darn task" arcpy.AddMessage("starting this darn task") in_line = "Database Connections\CONNECTION SDE 4 MAPPING.sde\sdeProd.SDE.StateHighwayUpdateFile" #sde statehwy data used to create route file rteID = "RD_NAME" # using this a route ID to create routes base on road number rather than segment no #rteID = "UNIQUE_ID" # this will create routes based on segment no outRoute = "StateHwyRouteFile" outEvent = "lineTemp" fc = "LineSelection" #fc_prj = "PointsTestingWM" fc_prj = os.path.join(scratch,'LineSelectionWM') csWM = r"Coordinate Systems\Projected Coordinate Systems\World\WGS 1984 Web Mercator (Auxiliary Sphere).prj" #table = arcpy.GetParameter(0) table = gdb_loc + os.sep + "locateRoute" inRoute = "routeID" inBMP = "BMP" inEMP = "EMP" props = '"%s %s %s %s"' % (inRoute, 'LINE', inBMP, inEMP) arcpy.MakeRouteEventLayer_lr(outRoute, rteID, table, props, outEvent, "#", "ERROR_FIELD") #arcpy.MakeRouteEventLayer_lr(outRoute, rteID, table, "routeID LINE BMP EMP", outEvent, "#", "ERROR_FIELD") Thanks ...

Attempting to use the find and replace workspace path, but it's returning an error message. Any suggestions on why it's not working? import arcpy import os ckFolder = r"\\itdhq1apt50\gis_data\testUpdatePaths\FremontCounty" arcpy.env.workspace = ckFolder print "Checking Folder: " + ckFolder arcpy.AddMessage("Checking Folder: " + ckFolder) for mDoc in arcpy.ListFiles("*.mxd"):     mxd = os.path.join(ckFolder, mDoc)     #print fullpath     #mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(ckFolder + os.sep + mDoc)     arcpy.AddMessage("MXD Name: " + mxd)     mxd.findAndReplaceWorkspacePaths(r"J:\GIS\JHill\SDE_To_Route", r"\\itdgishq\hqgis\LocalRds\SDE_To_Route", "FALSE")     mxd.save() Traceback (most recent call last):   File "C:\Python26\ArcGIS10.0\Lib\site-packages\pythonwin\pywin\framework\scriptutils.py", line 312, in RunScript     exec codeObject in __main__.__dict__   File "\\Itdgishq\hqgis\updateDataPaths.py", line 25, in <module>     mxd.findAndReplaceWorkspacePaths(r"J:\GIS\JHill\SDE_To_Route", r"\\itdgishq\hqgis\LocalRds\SDE_To_Route", "FALSE") AttributeError: 'unicode' object has no attribute 'findAndReplaceWorkspacePaths' ...

I have a sizable Python script that geoprocesses a bunch of excel tables, creates File GDB tables, creates point events, applies symbology, adds layers to map document and publishes to a map service.  Now that that script is working, I though it would be nice to generate the xml file (flex viewer) to display the data. I'm using a previously created config.xml file as a template and am stuck on how to go about populating the various operationallayers in the xml file. In the script I've captured the layer names in a dictionary and would like to loop through it and populate the layers of the XML, etc. I've searched the web and come across a few things that sorta point me in the direction. But being a python newbie I'm kinda lost. Maybe I'm in way over my head. Any ideas or hints? Below is the code I've assembled to this point. import arcpy import os arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = 1 mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(r"\\itdhq1apt50\GIS_Data\Test_MM\Crash_05_10v2.mxd") df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd, "Layers")[0] # update counter and create list of map layers layerList = arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd, "", df) counter = 0 mapLayerList = {} for layer in layerList:     mapLayer = str(layer)     mapLayerList[counter] = mapLayer     counter = counter + 1 #print mapLayerList arcpy.env.workspace = r"C:\inetpub\wwwroot\flexviewers\ScriptCrash_05_10v2" #arcpy.env.workspace = r"\\itdhq1apt50\GIS_Data\Test_MM\CrashScriptTesting" fileLoc = arcpy.env.workspace print fileLoc from xml.dom.minidom import parseString doc = parseString("""<xml>
