Constructor Detail

Append

public Append()
Creates the Append tool with defaults.

Initializes the array of tool parameters with the default values specified when the tool was created.


Append

public Append(java.lang.Object inputs,
              java.lang.Object target)
Creates the Append tool with the required parameters.

Initializes the array of tool parameters with the values as specified for the required parameters and with the default values for the other parameters.

Parameters:
inputs - the input datasets whose data will be appended into the target dataset. Input datasets can be point, line, or polygon feature classes, tables, rasters, raster catalogs, annotation feature classes, or dimensions feature classes. Each input dataset must match the data type of the target dataset.
target - the existing dataset that the input datasets' data will be appended into. Each input dataset must match the data type of the target dataset.
Method Detail

getInputs

public java.lang.Object getInputs()
Returns the Input Datasets parameter of this tool . This parameter is the input datasets whose data will be appended into the target dataset. Input datasets can be point, line, or polygon feature classes, tables, rasters, raster catalogs, annotation feature classes, or dimensions feature classes. Each input dataset must match the data type of the target dataset. This is a required parameter.

Returns:
the Input Datasets

setInputs

public void setInputs(java.lang.Object inputs)
Sets the Input Datasets parameter of this tool . This parameter is the input datasets whose data will be appended into the target dataset. Input datasets can be point, line, or polygon feature classes, tables, rasters, raster catalogs, annotation feature classes, or dimensions feature classes. Each input dataset must match the data type of the target dataset. This is a required parameter.

Parameters:
inputs - the input datasets whose data will be appended into the target dataset. Input datasets can be point, line, or polygon feature classes, tables, rasters, raster catalogs, annotation feature classes, or dimensions feature classes. Each input dataset must match the data type of the target dataset.

getTarget

public java.lang.Object getTarget()
Returns the Target Dataset parameter of this tool . This parameter is the existing dataset that the input datasets' data will be appended into. Each input dataset must match the data type of the target dataset. This is a required parameter.

Returns:
the Target Dataset

setTarget

public void setTarget(java.lang.Object target)
Sets the Target Dataset parameter of this tool . This parameter is the existing dataset that the input datasets' data will be appended into. Each input dataset must match the data type of the target dataset. This is a required parameter.

Parameters:
target - the existing dataset that the input datasets' data will be appended into. Each input dataset must match the data type of the target dataset.

getSchemaType

public java.lang.String getSchemaType()
Returns the Schema Type parameter of this tool . This parameter is specifies if the schema (field definitions) of the input datasets must match the schema of the target dataset in order for data to be appended. This is an optional parameter.

Returns:
the Schema Type

setSchemaType

public void setSchemaType(java.lang.String schemaType)
Sets the Schema Type parameter of this tool . This parameter is specifies if the schema (field definitions) of the input datasets must match the schema of the target dataset in order for data to be appended. This is an optional parameter.

Parameters:
schemaType - specifies if the schema (field definitions) of the input datasets must match the schema of the target dataset in order for data to be appended.

getFieldMapping

public java.lang.Object getFieldMapping()
Returns the Field Map parameter of this tool . This parameter is controls how the attribute information in input datasets' fields is transferred to the target dataset. The Field Map control can only be used if the Schema Type NO_TEST is specified. because the input datasets' data is appended into an existing target dataset that has a predefined schema (field definitions), the Append tool Field Map control does not allow for fields to be added or removed from the target dataset. This is an optional parameter.

Returns:
the Field Map

setFieldMapping

public void setFieldMapping(java.lang.Object fieldMapping)
Sets the Field Map parameter of this tool . This parameter is controls how the attribute information in input datasets' fields is transferred to the target dataset. The Field Map control can only be used if the Schema Type NO_TEST is specified. because the input datasets' data is appended into an existing target dataset that has a predefined schema (field definitions), the Append tool Field Map control does not allow for fields to be added or removed from the target dataset. This is an optional parameter.

Parameters:
fieldMapping - controls how the attribute information in input datasets' fields is transferred to the target dataset. The Field Map control can only be used if the Schema Type NO_TEST is specified. because the input datasets' data is appended into an existing target dataset that has a predefined schema (field definitions), the Append tool Field Map control does not allow for fields to be added or removed from the target dataset.

getSubtype

public java.lang.String getSubtype()
Returns the Subtype parameter of this tool . This parameter is a subtype description to assign that subtype to all new data that is appended to the target dataset. This is an optional parameter.

Returns:
the Subtype

setSubtype

public void setSubtype(java.lang.String subtype)
Sets the Subtype parameter of this tool . This parameter is a subtype description to assign that subtype to all new data that is appended to the target dataset. This is an optional parameter.

Parameters:
subtype - a subtype description to assign that subtype to all new data that is appended to the target dataset.

getOutput

public java.lang.Object getOutput()
Returns the Output Features parameter of this tool (Read only). This is an derived parameter.

Returns:
the Output Features

getToolName

public java.lang.String getToolName()
Returns the name of this tool.

Returns:
the tool name

getToolboxName

public java.lang.String getToolboxName()
Returns the name of the tool box containing this tool.

Returns:
the tool box name

getToolboxAlias

public java.lang.String getToolboxAlias()
Returns the alias of the tool box containing this tool.
