    ArcMap 10.8

    Help archive
    ArcGIS Desktop is in mature support and will be retired March 1, 2026. There are no plans for future releases of ArcGIS Desktop, and it is recommended that you migrate to ArcGIS Pro. See Migrate from ArcMap to ArcGIS Pro for more information.

    The Workspace toolset comprises a set of tools to create the data storage structures used by ArcGIS. These structures include workspace, folder, two types of geodatabases, feature dataset, and a spatial type.

    ToolDescription

    Clear Workspace Cache

    Clears any enterprise geodatabase workspaces from the enterprise geodatabase workspace cache.

    Create ArcInfo Workspace

    Creates a workspace with an INFO subdirectory.

    Create Cloud Storage Connection File

    Creates a connection file for ArcGIS-supported cloud storage. It allows existing raster geoprocessing tools to write cloud raster format (CRF) datasets into the cloud storage bucket or read raster datasets (not limited to CRF) stored in the cloud storage as input.

    Create Database Connection

    Creates a file that ArcGIS uses to connect to a database or an enterprise, a workgroup, or a desktop geodatabase.

    Create Feature Dataset

    Creates a feature dataset in the output location—an existing enterprise, file, or personal geodatabase.

    Create File GDB

    Creates a file geodatabase in a folder.

    Create Folder

    Creates a folder in the specified location.

    Create Personal GDB

    Creates a personal geodatabase in a folder.

    Create Spatial Type

    Adds the ST_Geometry SQL type, subtypes, and functions to an Oracle or a PostgreSQL database. This allows you to use the ST_Geometry SQL type to store geometries in a database that does not contain a geodatabase. You can also use this tool to upgrade the existing ST_Geometry type, subtypes, and functions in an Oracle or a PostgreSQL database.

    Create SQLite Database

    Creates a GeoPackage or an SQLite database that contains the ST_Geometry or SpatiaLite spatial type.
