ArcGIS MPK Package Map (data management)

Summary from: http://help.arcgis.com/zh-cn/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#/na/0017000000q5000000/

Package a map document and all referenced data sources to create a single, compressed . mpk file.

The illustration contains the folder structure of the unpacked map package for three feature layers. Usage

• A warning will be issued when using this tool to encounter unsupported layer types (logical or tool layers). Layers that are not supported will not be written to the output.

• The input layer must have a corresponding description for this tool to perform. To add a description, right-click the layer and click Properties, and then enter a description.

• to unpack a map package , you can drag the  .mpk  file to  arcmap  or right-click the  .mpk  file and then click

  • XP  - c:\documents and Settings\ user name \my Documents\arcgis\packages
  • Vista and Windows 7  - c:\users\ user name \documents\arcgis\packages

   

• select when converting data to a file geodatabase

  • Compressed raster format will be converted to a file geodatabase raster. The
  • compressed vector format (such as the SDC format) is converted to a file Geodatabase feature class, and the original compressed data is lost.

   

• uncheck the Span class= "Uicontrol" > when converting data to a file geodatabase

  • commondata  folder.
  • ADRG, CADRG/ECRG, CIB, and RPF raster formats are always converted to file Geodatabase rasters. ArcGIS cannot write these formats directly. For efficiency, they will always be converted to file Geodatabase rasters.

   

• For layers that contain joins or joins to a layer in a relationship class, all connected or related data sources are merged into the output folder.

• For feature layers, the range parameter is used to select the features that will be merged. For raster layers, the range parameter is used to crop the raster dataset.

• Some datasets refer to other datasets. For example, you might have a topology dataset that references four feature classes. Examples of other datasets that reference other datasets include geometric networks, networks, and locators. When a layer is merged or packaged based on these types of datasets, the participating datasets are also merged or packaged.

• If only schema parameters are selected, only the schema of the input data source will be merged. A scenario is the structure or design of a feature class or table that consists of field and table definitions, coordinate system properties, symbology, definition queries, and so on. Data or records are not merged.

• Data sources that do not support "schema only" are not merged or packaged. If only schema parameters are selected and the tool encounters a layer that does not support schema only, a warning message is displayed and the layer is skipped. If you specify a unique layer that does not support schema only, the tool will fail.

• Merging or packaging a coverage or VPF layer copies the entire coverage or VPF dataset to the merged folder or packet.

Syntax Packagemap_management (in_map, output_file, {convert_data}, {Convert_arcsde_data}, {extent}, {Apply_extent_to_ ARCSDE})

Parameters	Description	Data type
In_map	The map document to be packaged.	ArcMap Document
Output_file	The name and location (. MPK) of the output map package.	File
Convert_data (optional)	Specifies whether the input layer is converted to a file geodatabase or retains its original format. <esri_enumhead><esri_enumvaluehd><esri_enumdeschd> The convert- data is copied to the file geodatabase. preserve- will preserve the data format. This is the default setting.	Boolean
convert_arcsde_data (optional)	Specifies whether the input layer is converted to a file geodatabase or retains its original format. <esri_enumhead><esri_enumvaluehd><esri_enumdeschd> convert_arcsde - &NBSP;ARCSDE data is copied to the file geodatabase. This is the default setting. preserve_arcsde -   will retain the ARCSDE data and will reference it in the resulting merged folder or packet.	Boolean
extent (optional)	by using format  x-min y-min X-Max Y-Max  Specify the range by manually entering coordinates in the range parameter. In addition, if you want to use the scope of a particular layer, simply add the layer name to the scope parameter. <esri_enumhead><esri_enumvaluehd><esri_enumdeschd> Maxof - The intersection of the input minof - input display - Same as display < layer > - with layer ... Same	Extent
APPLY_EXTENT_TO_ARCSDE (optional)	Specifies the scope that will be used to select the ArcSDE data source. <esri_enumhead><esri_enumvaluehd><esri_enumdeschd> all- applies the specified range to all layers. This is the default setting. arcsde_only- applies the specified range to the ArcSDE layer only.	Boolean

code examplePackagemap Example (Python window)

The following Python script demonstrates how to use the package Map tool in a Python window.

Import arcpyarcpy.env.workspace = "c:/arcgis/arctutor/editing" arcpy. Packagemap_management (' exercise1.mxd ', ' editingexercise1.mpk ', ' PRESERVE ', ' convert_arcsde ', ' # ', ' all ')

Packagemap Example (stand-alone script)

Find all the map documents that are located in the specified folder, and then create map packages for those map documents, respectively.

# name:packagemap.py# Description:  Find All the map documents, reside in a specified folder and create map Packag ES for each map document.# author:esri# import System modulesimport osimport arcpyfrom arcpy import env# Set Environment Settingsenv.overwriteoutput = Trueenv.workspace = "c:/arcgis/arctutor/editing" # Loop through the workspace, find all the Mxds and create a map package using the same name as the Mxdfor mxd in arcpy. Listfiles ("*.mxd"):    print "packaging" + mxd    arcpy. Packagemap_management (Mxd, Os.path.splitext (MXD) [0] + '. MPK ', "PRESERVE", "Convert_arcsde", "#", "All")
