Summary
Adds global IDs to a list of geodatabase feature classes, tables, and feature datasets.
Usage
GlobalIDs uniquely identify a feature or table row in a geodatabase and across geodatabases.
If the input dataset is from an enterprise geodatabase, it must be from a database connection established as the data owner.
Syntax
arcpy.management.AddGlobalIDs(in_datasets)
Parameter | Explanation | Data Type |
in_datasets [in_dataset,...] |
A list of geodatabase classes, tables, and feature datasets to which global IDs will be added. | Layer; Table View; Dataset |
Derived Output
Name | Explanation | Data Type |
out_datasets | The updated datasets. | Layer; Table View; Dataset |
Code sample
The following Python window script demonstrates how to use the AddGlobalIDs function in the Python window.
import arcpy
arcpy.env.workspace = "C:/data/MySDEdata.sde"
arcpy.AddGlobalIDs_management("GDB1.Heather.Roads")
The following Python script demonstrates how to use the AddGlobalIDs function with an enterprise feature class.
# Name: AddGlobalIDs_Example2.py
# Description: Add globalIDs to a feature class. The feature class is in an enterprise workspace.
# Import system modules
import arcpy
# Set workspace
arcpy.env.workspace = "C:/Data/MySDEdata.sde"
# Set local variables
in_dataset = "GDB1.Heather.Roads"
# Execute AddGlobalIDs
arcpy.AddGlobalIDs_management(in_dataset)
The following Python script demonstrates how to use the AddGlobalIDs function with multiple enterprise feature classes.
# Name: AddGlobalIDs_Example2.py
# Description: Add globalIDs to a list of datasets. Both feature classes are in the same enterprise workspace.
# Import system modules
import arcpy
# Set workspace
arcpy.env.workspace = "C:/Data/MySDEdata.sde"
# Set local variables
in_dataset1 = "GDB1.Heather.Roads"
in_dataset2 = "GDB1.Heather.Streets"
# Execute AddGlobalIDs
arcpy.AddGlobalIDs_management([in_dataset1, in_dataset2])
