Summary
Upgrades a production database schema. A production database stores tables used by Esri Mapping and Charting Solutions. Esri Production Mapping, Esri Defense Mapping, and the ArcGIS for Aviation: Charting store different data models in their production databases. These data models describe hard-copy maps or charts based on product specifications.
Usage
The Workspace for Product Database must be a geodatabase that contains a production database. This tool upgrades the production database to the latest version.
Use a path to a connection file if Workspace for Product Database references an enterprise geodatabase. The user credentials in the connection file must have permission to create data in the workspace.
You can use a configuration keyword for file and enterprise geodatabases. Each geodatabase type and configuration supports different configuration keywords; however, personal geodatabases do not support keywords.

Parameter | Explanation | Data Type |
production_database_workspace | The workspace that will store the production database. | Workspace |
database_config_keyword (Optional) | Database storage or configuration keyword. The default is Defaults. | String |
