Upgrade Production Database

Summary

Upgrades a production database schema.

A production database stores Esri Defense Mapping, Esri Production Mapping, ArcGIS for Maritime: Charting, ArcGIS for Maritime: Bathymetry, or ArcGIS for Aviation tables using the data model for the given extension. These data models describe hard-copy maps or charts based on product specifications.

Usage

  • The Workspace for Production Database parameter value 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.
