Unzip MGCP Cell And Import (Topographic Production)

Summary

Unzips and imports compressed Multinational Geospatial Co-production Program (MGCP) 1-degree-by-1-degree cell packages (*.zip) into a target geodatabase.

Usage

• This tool recursively searches the Root Folder for ZIP files. ZIP files must contain an MGCP cell package that includes one or more shapefiles and a metadata file.

• If no shapefiles are found in the unzipped archive, this tool will continue execution.

• Target Geodatabase must be an MGCP geodatabase and have an MGCP_Metadata feature dataset. The feature dataset must contain a Cell feature class.

Code sample

UnzipCellAndImport example (stand-alone script)

The following stand-alone script demonstrates how to use the UnzipCellAndImport tool to unzip shapefiles in a MGCP zip package, load the data into a file geodatabase, and import Metadata Cell Features.

# Name: UnzipCellAndImport_sample.py
# Description: Unzips shapefiles in a MGCP zip package and loads the data into a file geodatabase, then imports the Metadata Cell Features

# Import System Modules
import arcpy

# Check Out Extensions
arcpy.CheckOutExtension('Defense')

# Setting Local Variables
root_folder = r'C:\Data\MGCPShapePackages'
target_geodatabase = r'C:\Data\MGCP_TRD_4_4.gdb'

# Unziping TRD 4.2 shape packages to a TRD 4.4 database
arcpy.topographic.UnzipCellAndImport(root_folder, target_geodatabase)

# Check In Extensions
arcpy.CheckInExtension('Defense')
