Creates a geodatabase topology from a definition .xml file generated by the Export Topology tool in the Topographic Production toolbox.
Both this tool and the Export Topology tool allow you to share and create topologies within different geodatabases. The .xml file contains a definition of a topology, including feature class names, topology ranks, topology rules, and cluster tolerance.
This tool supports all data models, with a properly configured .xml definition file, and can be used on any feature dataset.

The following Python window script demonstrates how to use the ImportTopology tool to create a new geodatabase topology from an XML definition file.
# Name: ImportTopology_sample.py
