Im very new to Python, and Im trying to write a script to trawl through a folder of mxds and replace an incorrectly named dataset. I have a script that works on a single map document (below)
But when I try and create this to run over multiple map documents in a folder (below), I get no change.
Where am I going wrong? If someone could steer me in the right direction it would be greatly appreceated.
Regards,
David
Code:
current_mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument ("CURRENT")
df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames (current_mxd)
for dataframes in df:
print "DATAFRAME = " + dataframes.name + "\n" + "LAYERS: "
lyrs = arcpy.mapping.ListLayers (dataframes)
for layers in lyrs:
print " " + layers.name
for broken in arcpy.mapping.ListBrokenDataSources (dataframes):
print broken.name + " source is missing"
if broken.dataSource == r"C:\Student\MapScripting10_0\Maps\PlainsView.gdb\East_Timort":
broken.replaceDataSource (r"C:\Student\MapScripting10_0\PlainsView.gdb","FILEGDB_WORKSPACE","East_Timor", False)
del broken
del layers
del dataframes
del mxd
arcpy.RefreshTOC()Code:
import arcpy, os
start = r"C:\Student\MapScripting10_0\Maps"
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(start):
for mapDoc in files:
if mapDoc.endswith(".mxd"):
path = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(root,mapDoc))
mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(path)
print "\n" + "Map Document = " + path

del layers
for broken in arcpy.mapping.ListBrokenDataSources (dataframes):
print broken.name + " source is missing"
print " Original source = " + broken.dataSource

print " Found. Attempting to fix."
osource = r"C:\Student\MapScripting10_0\Maps\PlainsView.gdb"
nsource = "Timor"
broken.replaceDataSource (osource,"FILEGDB_WORKSPACE",nsource, False)
del broken
del layers
del dataframes
del df

# mxd.saveACopy(os.getcwd() + "\\" + mapDoc[:-4] + "_new.mxd")
