Repair Mosaic Dataset Paths (Data Management)
Summary
Repairs broken file paths within a mosaic dataset.
Usage
-
You need to know the file path location in order to change it. You can use the Export Mosaic Dataset 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.
Database fragmentation and frequent data manipulation may increase the size of your mosaic dataset dramatically. If your database size is inflated due to constant transactions, you should run the Compact tool.
Syntax
