Update Topographic Production Service Database (Topographic Production)

Summary

Updates the database used by an instance of the Topographic Production Service.

Usage

• The database specified in the Input Geodatabase parameter must be an enterprise database that contains the tables required for the Topographic Production Service.

• If the database specified in the Input Geodatabase parameter does not contain the tables required for the Topographic Production Service, the tool will create them at run time.

• If the tables in the database specified in the Input Geodatabase parameter are out of date, the tool will update them to the latest schema version.

• If the Create backup geodatabase parameter is checked, the Input Geodatabase parameter value will be backed up to a file geodatabase at the location specified before the schema is updated.

  Caution:

  Only the tables that belong to the Topographic Production Service will be copied to the backup database. This is not a full database backup.
