| Label | Explanation | Data Type |
Result
| The result that will be packaged. The input can be either a result from the history of the current project or a Result object's resultID property when the tool is being used in a Python script. | File; String |
Output File | The name and location of the output package file (.gpkx). | File |
Convert data to file geodatabase (Optional) | Specifies whether input layers will be converted to a file geodatabase or preserved in their original format.
| Boolean |
Include Enterprise Geodatabase data instead of referencing the data (Optional) | Specifies whether input enterprise geodatabase layers will be converted to a file geodatabase or preserved in their original format.
| Boolean |
Extent
(Optional) | Specifies the extent that will be used to select or clip features.
When coordinates are manually provided, the coordinates must be numeric values and in the active map's coordinate system. The map may use different display units than the provided coordinates. Use a negative value sign for south and west coordinates. | Extent |
Apply extent only to enterprise geodatabase layers (Optional) | Specifies whether the specified extent will be applied to all layers or to enterprise geodatabase layers only.
| Boolean |
Schema only
(Optional) | Specifies whether all features and records for input and output datasets or only the schema of input and output datasets will be consolidated or packaged.
| Boolean |
Support ArcGIS Maps SDKs
(Optional) | Specifies whether the package will support ArcGIS Maps SDKs. To support ArcGIS Maps SDKs, all data sources will be converted to a file geodatabase, and a server compatible tool will be created in the package.
| Boolean |

Summary (Optional) | The text that will be used as the output package's summary property. | String |
Tags (Optional) | The tag information that will be added to the properties of the package. Multiple tags can be added or separated by a comma or semicolon. | String |
Package Version (Optional) | Specifies the ArcGIS Pro version that certain objects such as projects, maps, and layers will be compatible with and persisted to. Saving to an earlier version can be helpful if the project will be used with older software. Caution:A package saved to an earlier version may lose functionality or properties that are unsupported in the earlier version.

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 for 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, a topology dataset may reference 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.

The following Python script demonstrates how to use the PackageResult function in the Python window.

arcpy.env.workspace = "C:/ResultFiles"
arcpy.management.PackageResult('Parcel.rlt', 'Parcel.gpk', "PRESERVE",
"CONVERT_ARCSDE", "#", "ALL", "ALL",
"DESKTOP", r"C:\docs\readme.txt",
"Summary text", "Tag1; tag2; tag3")The following Python script demonstrates how to use the PackageResult function from either the Python window or a script with the Result object of a custom tool.

# Import toolbox with custom model inside
arcpy.ImportToolbox("c:/gisworkflows/ParcelTools.tbx")
# Run the tool and assign to a result variable
parcelUpdate = arcpy.ParcelUpdater_ParcelTools("c:/data/parcels.gdb/ward3", "UPDATE")
