ArcGIS Help 10.1 - Copy Raster Catalog Items (Data Management)

Summary

Makes a copy of a raster catalog, including all of its contents, or a subset of its contents if there is a selection.

Usage

The input and output of this tool is a geodatabase raster catalog.
You can copy your output raster catalog to any type of geodatabase: personal, file, or ArcSDE.
When using ArcMap, you can use the Selection tool to choose which raster catalog items to copy.
The properties of the output raster catalog are the same as the input raster catalog, as well as the properties of the raster datasets in the raster catalog.

Syntax

CopyRasterCatalogItems_management (in_raster_catalog, out_raster_catalog, {config_keyword}, {spatial_grid_1}, {spatial_grid_2}, {spatial_grid_3})

Parameter	Explanation	Data Type
in_raster_catalog	The name and location of the raster catalog to be copied.	Raster Catalog Layer
out_raster_catalog	The name and location of the output raster catalog. You can copy your output raster catalog to any type of geodatabase: personal, file, or ArcSDE.	Raster Catalog
config_keyword (Optional)	Specifies the storage parameters (configuration) for a file geodatabase and an ArcSDE geodatabase. Personal geodatabases do not use configuration keywords. ArcSDE configuration keywords are set up by your database administrator.	String
spatial_grid_1 (Optional)	The Output Spatial Grid 1, 2, and 3 parameters apply only to file geodatabases and ArcSDE geodatabases. If you are unfamiliar with setting grid sizes, leave these options as 0,0,0 and ArcGIS will compute optimal sizes for you. For more information about this parameter, refer to the Add Spatial Index tool documentation.	Double
spatial_grid_2 (Optional)	Cell size of the second spatial grid. Leave the size at 0 if you only want one grid. Otherwise, set the size to at least three times larger than Spatial Grid 1.	Double
spatial_grid_3 (Optional)	Cell size of the third spatial grid. Leave the size at 0 if you only want two grids. Otherwise, set the size to at least three times larger than Spatial Grid 2.	Double
