An overview of the Workspace toolset

The Workspace toolset comprises a set of tools to create the data storage structures used by ArcGIS.

Tool	Description
Clear Workspace Cache	Clears any enterprise geodatabase workspaces from the enterprise geodatabase workspace cache.
Create Cloud Storage Connection File	Creates a connection file for ArcGIS-supported cloud storage. It allows existing raster geoprocessing tools to write cloud raster format (CRF) datasets into the cloud storage bucket or read raster datasets (not limited to CRF) stored in the cloud storage as input.
Create Database Connection	Creates a file that ArcGIS uses to connect to a database or an enterprise geodatabase.
Create Database Connection String	Creates a connection string that geoprocessing tools can use to connect to a database or an enterprise geodatabase.
Create Feature Dataset	Creates a feature dataset in the output location—an existing enterprise or file geodatabase.
Create File Geodatabase	Creates a file geodatabase in a folder.
Create Folder	Creates a folder in the specified location.
Create Spatial Type	Adds the ST_Geometry SQL type, subtypes, and functions to an Oracle or a PostgreSQL database. This allows you to use the ST_Geometry SQL type to store geometries in a database that does not contain a geodatabase. You can also use this tool to upgrade the existing ST_Geometry type, subtypes, and functions in an Oracle or a PostgreSQL database.
Create SQLite Database	Creates a GeoPackageor an SQLite database that contains the ST_Geometry or SpatiaLite spatial type.
Export XML Workspace Document	Creates a readable XML document of the geodatabase contents.
Import XML Workspace Document	Imports the contents of an XML workspace document into an existing geodatabase.
Update Geodatabase Connection Properties To Branch	Updates an enterprise geodatabase connection to work with branch versioning.
