      com.esri.arcgis.geoprocessing.tools.datamanagementtools.DeleteIdentical

All Implemented Interfaces:

GPTool

public class DeleteIdentical
extends AbstractGPTool

Deletes records in a feature class or table which have identical values in a list of fields. If the field 'Shape' is selected, feature geometries are compared. The Delete Identical tool is contained in the Data Management Tools tool box.

Usage tips:

• This tool modifies the input data. See for more information and strategies to avoid undesired data changes.
• This tool finds identical records based on input field values, then deletes all but one of the identical records from each set of identical records. The values from multiple fields in the input dataset can be compared. If more than one field is specified, records are matched by the values in the first field, then by the values of the second field, and so on.
• With feature class or feature layer input, select the field 'Shape' in the Field(s) parameter to compare feature geometries to find identical features by location. XY Tolerance and Z Tolerance parameters are only valid when 'Shape' is selected as one of the input fields.

Constructor Detail

DeleteIdentical

public DeleteIdentical()

Creates the Delete Identical tool with defaults.

Initializes the array of tool parameters with the default values specified when the tool was created.

DeleteIdentical

public DeleteIdentical(Object inDataset,
                       Object fields)

Creates the Delete Identical tool with the required parameters.

Initializes the array of tool parameters with the values as specified for the required parameters and with the default values for the other parameters.

Parameters:

inDataset - the table or feature class which will have its identical records deleted.

fields - the field(s) whose values will be compared to find identical records.
