An overview of the Product Library toolset

The Product Library toolset contains tools to create, upgrade, and manage files and items in a product library.

ToolDescription

Add File

Adds a file to a Product Library. This associates the file with a Product Library entry. Once you have added a file to a product library, use Check Out File and Check In File to manage changes made to it.

Attach Database

Attaches a .mdf file to an instance of SQL Server Express. This creates a geodatabase from the input .mdf file. Detach and attach allow you to move geodatabases between instances of SQL Server Express.

Check In File

Checks a file back in to a product library.

Check Out File

Checks out a file from a Product Library.

Check Out File As Database

Checks out an instance database file (.mdf) from a Product Library. This tool is similar to the Production Mapping Check Out File geoprocessing tool but returns a workspace as the checked out file. Use this tool in ModelBuilder to chain the output workspace (the database .mdf file) to another tool as an input parameter.

Check Out File As File

Checks out a file from a Product Library. This tool is similar to the Production Mapping Check Out File geoprocessing tool but returns a file instead of a string. Use this tool in ModelBuilder to chain the output file to another tool as an input parameter.

Create Product Library

Creates a new product library in a geodatabase.

Create Production Database

Creates a production database in a geodatabase to store tables used by ArcGIS Defense Mapping, ArcGIS Production Mapping, ArcGIS Maritime, ArcGIS Bathymetry, or ArcGIS Aviation, each of which stores different data models in its production databases. These data models describe hard-copy maps or charts based on product specifications.

Detach Database

Detaches a SQL Server Express geodatabase (.mdf).

Distribute Product Library

This tool transfers your ArcGIS Data Reviewer Desktop batch jobs and editing field configurations from one product library to another. It creates a lightweight version of your product library containing all your configured batch jobs while enabling automatic attribution validation. It also carries over field configurations to manage the visibility and behavior of attributes within Feature Manager.

Get Local Copy

Gets a local copy of a file stored inside the Product Library. It allows you to view or edit a file without exclusively locking the file in a Product Library. Changes made to the local copy are not tracked in the Product Library.

List Files

Returns a list of files associated with a node in the Product Library tree.

List Items

Returns a list of child items that are associated with a node in the Product Library tree.

Upgrade Product Library

Upgrades a product library schema.

Upgrade Production Database

Upgrades a production database schema.
