Summary
Packages one or more geoprocessing results, including all tools and input and output datasets, into a single compressed file (.gpkx).
Usage
When a tool is run, a geoprocessing history item is added to the Geoprocessing History section of the Catalog pane. Use this item as input to the Package Result tool.
When a tool is run from Python, a Result object is returned. The Result object's resultID property can be used as input to this tool. The second code sample below demonstrates how to use a Result object's resultID property.
When Support ArcGIS Maps SDKs is checked, the geoprocessing package created can be used in the ArcGIS Maps SDKs environment. To support the ArcGIS Maps SDKs environment, the following occur:
- All nongeodatabase data sources are converted to a file geodatabase.
- A copy of the tool being package is created in a new toolbox configured for publishing.
Note:
Starting at ArcGIS Pro 2.1, geoprocessing packages that support ArcGIS Maps SDKs can be created.
When the Convert data to file geodatabase parameter is checked, the following occurs:
- Each unique data source will have a file geodatabase created in the consolidated folder or package.
- Compressed raster and vector formats will be converted to a file geodatabase, and compression will be lost.
- Enterprise geodatabase data will not be consolidated. To convert enterprise geodatabase data to a file geodatabase, check the Include Enterprise Geodatabase data instead of referencing the data parameter.
When the Convert data to file geodatabase parameter is not checked, the following occurs:
- The data source format of the input layers will be preserved when possible.
- ADRG, CADRG/ECRG, CIB, and RPF raster formats will convert to file geodatabase rasters. ArcGIS cannot natively write out these formats. They will be converted to file geodatabase rasters for efficiency.
- In the output folder structure, file geodatabases will be consolidated in a version-specific folder, and all other formats will be consolidated in the commonData folder.
- Compressed raster and vector formats will not be clipped even if an extent is specified in the Extent parameter.
For layers that contain a join or participate in a relationship class, all joined or related data sources will be consolidated into the output folder. By default, joined or related data sources will be consolidated in their entirety or, depending on the Select Related Rows parameter value, based on the extent specified for the Extent parameter.
For feature layers, the Extent parameter is used to select the features that will be consolidated. For raster layers, the Extent parameter is used to clip the raster datasets.
Some datasets reference other datasets. For example, you may have a topology dataset that references four feature classes. Other examples of datasets that reference other datasets include geometric networks, networks, and locators. When consolidating or packaging a layer based on these types of datasets, the participating datasets will also be consolidated or packaged.
If the Schema only parameter is checked, only the schema of the input and output data sources will be consolidated or packaged. A schema is the structure or design of a feature class or table that consists of field and table definitions, coordinate system properties, symbology, definition queries, and so on. Data and records will not be consolidated or packaged.
Data sources that do not support schema only will not be consolidated or packaged. If the Schema only parameter is checked and the tool encounters a layer that is not supported for schema only, a warning message appears and that layer will be skipped. If the only layer specified is unsupported for schema only, the tool will fail.
To unpack a geoprocessing package, use the Extract Package tool to extract the contents to a folder. You can then browse to the directory and explore the tool and data. Alternatively, right-click the package from a folder in the Catalog pane and extract it to the current map. The tool will be accessible from the Geoprocessing History section.
By default, when extracting a package from the Catalog pane, the contents will be extracted into your user profile.
Parameters
—The extent will be based on the active map or scene. This option is only available when there is an active map.
—The extent will be based on an active map layer. Use the drop-down list to choose an available layer or use the

# Import toolbox with custom model inside
arcpy.ImportToolbox("c:/gisworkflows/ParcelTools.tbx")
# Run the tool and assign to a result variable
