I am trying to update layer connection from one oracle geodatabase to another oracle geodatabase. I also tried with the same geodatabase with different versions but none of it works. I tried in the pro python window with the arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject("current") and from my python ide (VS) which runs idle. I would like to use this to change the version of some layers (change version does the whole aprx, not what I want) or the database dev, staging, uat, training, production. What am I doing wrong?
This is the code
import sys
import arcpy
#test project with a single map and a single layer
apr = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject(r"C:\xxx\ArcGIS\Project\testChangeConnection\testChangeConnection.aprx")
map = apr.listMaps()[0]
lay = map.listLayers()[0]
#development geodatabase 10.3.1 using an easy connect
devDb = r"C:\xxx\ArcGIS\Project\testChangeConnection\dev.sde"
#staging gdb is also 10.3.1 TNSNames connection because of TAF but also tried with easy connect to another db.
#featureclass with same name, type, schema, coordsys and data exists in both databases
stgDb = r"C:\xxx\ArcGIS\Project\testChangeConnection\stg.sde"
print(lay.connectionProperties) #prints connection to dev
apr.updateConnectionProperties(devDb ,stgDb, True, True)
apr.save()
print(lay.connectionProperties) #prints connection to dev
lay.updateConnectionProperties(lay.connectionProperties ,stgDb, True, True)
#prints connection to dev
print(lay.connectionProperties) #prints connection to dev
apr.save
del apr
print("done")
I open the aprx and the source of the layer is indeed not changed.
