Remarks
The CatalogPath of a data element contains the path to the dataset. If retrieved from GxObject, the data element's catalog path will correspond to the path displayed by ArcCatalog when the dataset is selected in the view pane. If retrieved from the workspace, the catalog path will be built by following this pattern:
/V=[version]/DatasetKeyword=datasetName/ChildDatasetKeyword=datasetName
The version can be empty if the source is a local geodatabase. The following table shows the dataset types and their respective keywords:
| Dataset Type | Keyword |
|---|---|
| Feature dataset | FD |
| Feature class | FC |
| Object class | OC |
| Relationship class | RC |
| Geometric network | GN |
| Topology | TOPO |
| Raster band | RB |
| Raster dataset | RD |
| Raster catalog | RCAT |
| Toolbox | TB |
The following are sample catalog paths:
/FD=USA/FC=Capitals
/V=SDE.DEFAULT/FD=Landbase/FC=Parcels
