In scripting business processes it is coming up again and again where I need an intermediate workspace to write data. I am trying to copy a table to the scratch workspace but it is placing the table into a dbf in the folder where the scratchGDB is located. Here is what I have:
When I run this from a script exported from ModelBuilder it places the table into the temporary gdb:
However if the path to the scratch GDB is hard-coded I will lose the ability to have a gauranteed space to write data. Would appreciate help getting this working correctly.
Code:
import arcpy, arceditor, logging, datetime, os, smtplib
from arcpy import env
arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True
InputPrefix = "Database Connections\\Sun130 - 5151.sde\\"
tblImplsblRd = InputPrefix + "GIS_INTERFACE.SAP_IMPLAUSIBLE_READS"
lclImplsblRd = env.scratchGDB + "SAP_IMPLAUSIBLE_READS"
def copyRows(src, trgt, cfg):
try:
arcpy.CopyRows_management(src, trgt, cfg)
logging.info(": Copied %s to %s" %(src, trgt))
except Exception as e:
print e
logging.error(": %s" %(e))
msgTxtErr = msgTxtErr + "\n" + "* " + str(e)
errValue = 1
copyRows(tblImplsblRd, lclImplsblRd, "")
print "done"Code:
