Update Extended Property (Topographic Production)

Summary

Updates an extended property in the identified properties table for the chosen job.

Caution:

This tool is designed to be run as a step in a Workflow Manager (Classic) workflow. Running this tool outside of Workflow Manager (Classic) does not honor all Workflow Manager (Classic) constraints such as job assignment, dependencies, or holds and may cause a job to enter an unusable state.

Caution:

This tool is intended for use with the Topographic Mapping production workflows and will not support an improperly configured Workflow Manager (Classic) repository. Sample workflows and instructions for configuring Topographic Mapping production workflows are available as part of the product file installer.

Usage

• If the Increment Value parameter is checked, the value will be added to any existing value. If the extended property is a number, the value will be added to the existing value and the sum will be set for the extended property value. If the extended property is not a number, the value will be appended to any existing value.

• Populate the Properties Table Name parameter with the name of the table only. It is not necessary to populate the full database path to the table or the qualified name of the table.

• The table designated in the Properties Table Name parameter must be registered as an extended property table in Workflow Manager (Classic).

Code sample

UpdateExtendedProperty example (stand-alone script)

This sample script increases the rework_count field in the TOPO_PRODUCTION_PROPERTIES table by 1.

# Name: UpdateExtendedProperty_sample.py
# Description: Sample script for running the Update Extended Property tool, and increasing the rework_count field in the
# TOPO_PRODUCTION_PROPERTIES table by 1

# Import System Modules
import arcpy
