Do you know the syntax to connect to the SDE database? I've been using model builder to build geoprocessing services. I have a clip function to clip an SDE layer, but when I try to publish and test the tool I get a "000732 - dataset does not exist error". It's trying to find something that looks like this "Database Connections\database.sde\database.DBO.SurfaceWater\database.DBO.sites" but it can't because that's back on the server. In .NET I'd use a connection string, but I'm hoping to do this in model builder. Is it possible?
Thanks
