Tools that honor the Data Source environment use variables and network data from the Business Analyst dataset specified during analysis. This environment is used by Business Analyst tools only.
Usage notes
- This environment enables selection of a Business Analyst dataset for use in geoprocessing.
- The specified Business Analyst dataset can be installed locally or accessed by signing in to a portal, such as ArcGIS.com.
- Changes made to this environmental override the global data source setting for the duration of in-tool processing. Once processing completes or is cancelled, the data source reverts to the value in the global setting.
