I need to take a folder that contains multiple shapefiles and then zip them all into their own individual zip file.  I found this script on a REALLY old post and it does what I'm looking for.  However, I'm running into one issue.  Before the zip section of the script, the python steps through several other steps of the shapefiles being exported to this location with certain criteria.  So what happens is I get the shapefiles, but each shapefile contains a lock file.  When the script starts for the zip, it starts to execute from top to bottom in the folder, but once it hits the first lock file it then fails.  I have this in Notebook in a Pro Project.  Once I close the Pro Project the lock files disappear, but as soon as I reopen the Pro Project the lock is reapplied because even though I don't have a map open, when I run my export features script it automatically adds it to the default map so it places a lock on it.  Is there a way to make the below zip script ignore any lock files or release all shapefile lock files in a folder? import arcpy, os from os import path as p import zipfile arcpy.overwriteOutput = True def ZipShapes(path, out_path): arcpy.env.workspace = path shapes = arcpy.ListFeatureClasses() # iterate through list of shapefiles for shape in shapes: name = p.splitext(shape)[0] print (name) zip_path = p.join(out_path, name + '.zip') zip = zipfile.ZipFile(zip_path, 'w', compression=zipfile.ZIP_DEFLATED) zip.write(p.join(path,shape), shape) for f in arcpy.ListFiles('%s*' %name): if not f.endswith('.shp'): zip.write(p.join(path,f), f) print ("All files written to %s" %zip_path) zip.close() if __name__ == '__main__': path = r"Z:\General\Projects\Engineering\SubSurface Mapping\DataExport\Updates" outpath = r"Z:\General\Projects\Engineering\SubSurface Mapping\DataExport\Updates\ZipFiles" ZipShapes(path, outpath)   ...

I'm new to Python and I'm trying to do a Export Features tool  with the Field mapping only bringing over a handful of the fields.  I have ran the tool and then copied the python code into a Notebook and it works.  However I was trying to use variables of the location of the input and output database.  With the variables the export works with the input and output features, but the field mapping doesn't and it exports ALL the fields.  Is there a way when using variables it only exports only the fields I want it to export. Below are some screenshots that I have come up with. Variables: Attempt at Export Features with Variables.  I tired the wODB with and without the brackets and neither worked. Working script when not using any variables.   ... View more

I have a table within my geodatabase with a list of Street IDs and Street Names.  I then have a calculation rule where in my address layer I have the end user fill out the streetID and it automatically copies the Street Name out of the table and puts it in the Street Name field of the layer.  This rules is then adjusted a few times in additional attribute rules to pull the street type and directional also from the table.  I have this working as needed.  However I wanted to add a message that pops up that when the user puts in a StreetID that doesn't exist it gives them a message instead of just doing nothing.  So I added the else if statement at the end of my existing code (shown below) and now I get the error message no mater if I enter a valid ID number or Not instead of just getting it when it is not a valid ID number. var street = FeatureSetByName($datastore, 'tStreet', ['Street_ID','St_Name'],false); var SID = $feature.St_ID; for(var i in street) if(i.Street_ID == SID) return i.St_Name else if (i.Street_ID != SID) return {"errorMessage": "Street ID does not exist"}    ...

I'm starting to look into the Pre-Incident Planning Solution via ArcGIS Online and I have a question on the the relationships.  It appears to me the Pre-Incident Plans (Polygons) has a Building Identifier and a Plan ID field.  The Plan ID is a globalID so that is automatically being assigned and a relationship back to the site visit table.  What is the Building Identifier used for, anything the fire dept. wants that they have to manually enter in? However, on all the dashboards and editing it doesn't appear this Building Identifier by default is hidden. Then on the Site Considerations, all the layers have a Plan ID field that is a String, but I'm not seeing any relationship.  So what is this field used for?  Is there there no relationships between the Site Considerations and the plans besides spatially next to each other? ...
