Updating data sources for batch jobs from the Reviewer Batch Job Manager

Available with Data Reviewer license.

Once a batch job is open in the Batch Job Manager, you can change the workspace as needed. The workspace can be changed for a single check or for all the checks in the batch job.

For instance, suppose the batch job you are working with references workspace A, but you need the Geometry on Geometry checks to reference workspace C. You can change the workspace for the Geometry on Geometry checks so they validate feature classes in workspace C.

After the batch job is updated, it must be saved. You can overwrite the existing file or save it using a new name.

1. Start ArcMap.
2. On the main menu, click Customize > Toolbars > Data Reviewer.
3. Click the Reviewer Batch Job Manager button on the Data Reviewer toolbar.

   The Reviewer Batch Job Manager dialog box appears.

4. Click Open.

   The Select Batch Job File dialog box appears.

5. Navigate to the Reviewer batch job you want to open, then click Open.

   The Reviewer Batch Job Manager dialog box appears with the contents of the batch job.

6. Click Workspace.

   The Set Data Source dialog box appears.

   

7. Click the Sources drop-down arrow and choose Reviewer Batch Job Dataset(s).
8. Optionally, to view only invalid data sources, check the Show Invalid Data Sources Only check box.

   This removes any of the valid data sources from the list on the Set Data Sources dialog box.

9. Click a row in the table.
10. If you do not want to change the data source for multiple sources, uncheck the Show "Change Data Source" warning check box.

    Only the layer you choose will have its data source changed.

11. Click Change Data Source.

    The Select Data Source dialog box appears.

12. Navigate to the new data source.
13. Click OK.

    The Choose Repair Option dialog box appears.

    Note:

    This dialog box appears only if the Show "Change Data Source" warning check box is checked. If it is not, the path is updated after you click OK.

    

14. Choose an option for updating the data source.
    • If you want to update all the sources that have the same path as the data source you are updating, choose the Apply to all matching Paths option.

      For example, if you have tables and feature classes that are in the same workspace, the paths will be updated for both.

    • If you want to update all the sources for all the data sources that match the type you chose on the Sources drop-down list, choose the Apply to all matching Types option.

      For example, if you choose Tables in the Sources drop-down list, only the paths for tables listed on the Set Data Source dialog box are updated. Feature classes that are also listed would not have their paths changed.

    • If you only want to update the path for the data source you chose in step 11, choose the Apply to selected Item only option.
15. Click OK.

    The Batch Job Manager dialog box appears.

16. Click Save to save the changes to the batch job.
