Unzip MGCP Cell And Import (Topographic Production)

Summary

Unzips and imports zipped Multinational Geospatial Co-production Program (MGCP) 1-degree-by-1-degree cell packages and MGCP Urban Vector Data (MUVD) resource surface packages (.zip files) into a target geodatabase.

Usage

• This tool recursively searches the Root Folder parameter value for .zip files. The folder must contain an MGCP cell package or MUVD resource surface package with the shapefiles and a metadata file.

• If no shapefiles are found in the zipped package, this tool will continue to run.

• The Target Geodatabase parameter value must be an MGCP or MUVD geodatabase and have an MGCP_Metadata or MUVD_Metadata feature dataset. The MGCP_Metadata feature dataset must contain a Cell feature class. The MUVD_Metadata feature dataset must contain a ResourceSrf feature class.

Parameters

Code sample

UnzipCellAndImport example (stand-alone script)

The following stand-alone script demonstrates how to use the UnzipCellAndImport function to unzip shapefiles in a zipped MGCP package (.zip file), 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

# 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)
