Enable Indoor Positioning (Indoor Positioning)

Summary

Creates the tables necessary for storing ArcGIS IPS data in an existing geodatabase.

Usage

• The Input Workspace parameter value must be an existing geodatabase. This can be a file or enterprise geodatabase.

• For ArcGIS Indoors, use the Indoors database as the Input Workspace parameter value.

• When using an enterprise geodatabase, the connection file must connect directly to the database as the database owner.

Code sample

EnableIndoorPositioning example 1 (Python window)

The following Python window script demonstrates how to use the EnableIndoorPositioning function to create ArcGIS IPS tables.

# Name: EnableIndoorPositioning_example1.py
# Description: Creates ArcGIS IPS tables in an existing file geodatabase

# Import system modules
import arcpy

# Set local variables
in_workspace = r"C:\IndoorPositioning\ExampleDatabase.gdb"

arcpy.indoorpositioning.EnableIndoorPositioning(in_workspace)

EnableIndoorPositioning example 2 (Python window)

The following Python window script demonstrates how to create an empty file geodatabase and use the EnableIndoorPositioning function to create ArcGIS IPS tables in the geodatabase.

# Name: EnableIndoorPositioning_example2.py
# Description: Creates an empty file geodatabase and creates
# the ArcGIS IPS tables in the file geodatabase.

# Import system modules
import arcpy

# Set local variables
gdb_path = r"C:\IndoorPositioning"
gdb_name = "ExampleDatabase.gdb"

# Call the CreateFileGDB tool to create a new file geodatabase
arcpy.management.CreateFileGDB(gdb_path, gdb_name)  

# Call the EnableIndoorPositioning tool to create the ArcGIS IPS
# tables in the empty file geodatbase
arcpy.indoorpositioning.EnableIndoorPositioning(r"{0}\{1}".format(gdb_path, gdb_name))
