Syntax

arcpy.mb.IterateWorkspaces(in_folder, {wildcard}, {workspace_type}, {recursive})

Parameter	Explanation	Data Type
in_folder	Folder which stores the workspace to iterate.	Folder
wildcard (Optional)	A combination of * and characters that help to limit the results. The asterisk is the same as saying ALL. If no wildcard is specified, all inputs will be returned. For example, it can be used to restrict Iteration over input names starting with a certain character or word (for example, A* or Ari* or Land* and so on).	String
workspace_type (Optional)	The workspace type to find, such as file geodatabase, folder, or enterprise geodatabase. FILEGDB —Only file geodatabases will be the output. FOLDER —Only folders will be the output. SDE —Only enterprise geodatabases will be the output.	String
recursive (Optional)	Determines if subfolders in the main folder will be iterated through recursively. Checked—Will iterate through all subfolders. Unchecked—Will not iterate through all subfolders.	Boolean
