Create Production Database (Production Mapping)
Summary
Creates a new production database within a geodatabase. A production database stores tables used by Esri Mapping and Charting Solutions. Esri Production Mapping, Esri Defense Mapping, and the Esri Aeronautical Solution store different data models in their production databases. These data models describe hard-copy maps or charts based on product specifications.
Usage
-
The Workspace for Production Database must be a geodatabase.
-
The user credentials in the connection file must have permission to create data in the workspace. Oracle Geodatabases require that only the schema owner can create a production database.
You can use a configuration keyword for file and enterprise geodatabases. Each geodatabase type and configuration supports different configuration keywords; however, personal geodatabases do not support keywords.
Syntax
| Parameter | Explanation | Data Type |
production_database_workspace |
