Repair Raster Catalog Paths (Data Management)
Summary
Repairs broken file paths or deletes broken links within an unmanaged raster catalog or a mosaic dataset.
Usage
-
It can also be used to delete any broken links that are no longer needed.
-
You need to know the file path location in order to change it. You can use the Export Raster Catalog Paths tool to retrieve the original path names.
-
You can type an asterisk (*) as the original path if you wish to change all your paths.
-
If you need to repair a mosaic dataset, the Repair Mosaic Dataset dialog box can also achieve this task. To learn more about repairing mosaic datasets, see Repairing paths in a mosaic dataset.
