Summary
Unzips and imports compressed Multinational Geospatial Co-production Program (MGCP) 1-degree-by-1-degree cell packages (*.zip) into a target geodatabase.
Usage
This tool recursively searches the Root Folder for ZIP files. ZIP files must contain an MGCP cell package that includes one or more shapefiles and a metadata file.
If no shapefiles are found in the unzipped archive, this tool will continue execution.
Target Geodatabase must be an MGCP geodatabase and have an MGCP_Metadata feature dataset. The feature dataset must contain a Cell feature class.
Syntax
UnzipCellAndImport(Root_Folder, Target_Geodatabase)
| Parameter | Explanation | Data Type |
Root_Folder | The root folder that contains one or more compressed shapefile cell packages in a .zip file. | Folder |
Target_Geodatabase | The geodatabase where the unzipped shapefiles will be imported. | Workspace |
Derived Output
| Name | Explanation | Data Type |
| Output_Geodatabase | The database where shape files from Root_Folder have been loaded. | Workspace |
Code sample
The following stand-alone script demonstrates how to use the UnzipCellAndImport tool to unzip shapefiles in a MGCP zip package, load the data into a file geodatabase, and import Metadata Cell Features.
