License Level:BasicStandardAdvanced

Summary

Exports Topographic Features Data Management (TFDM) DatasetAreas and CollectionAreas features to Multinational Geospatial Co-production Program (MGCP) Cell, Subregion, and Source metadata feature classes in an MGCP geodatabase.

Usage

Syntax

ExportToMGCP_defense (in_dataset_areas, in_cell_features)
ParameterExplanationData Type

Code Sample

ExportToMGCP example (stand-alone Python script)

The following script creates new Cell, Subregion, and Source features from TFDM DatasetAreas and CollectionAreas feature classes.

# ExportToMGCP_Example.py
# Description: Exports TFDM metadata to MGCP
# Requirements: Esri Defense Mapping solution

# Import arcpy
import arcpy
arcpy.CheckOutExtension("defense")

# variables for data paths and feature layers
DatasetAreas = "C:\\data\\tfdm.gdb\\LTDS\\DatasetAreas"
Cell = "C:\\data\\TFDM_Metadata_Tool_Data\\Import\\Import_MX_MGCP_TRD3.gdb\\MGCP_Metadata\\Cell"
DatasetArea_features = "DatasetAreas_Layer"
MGCP_Cell_features = "Cell_Layer"

# TFDM DatasetArea feature layer
arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(DatasetAreas, DatasetArea_features)

# MGCP Cell Feature Layer
arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(Cell, MGCP_Cell_features)

# Export TFDM metadata To MGCP
arcpy.ExportToMGCP_defense(DatasetArea_features, MGCP_Cell_features)

arcpy.CheckInExtension("defense")
