Code sample

ImportVPFToGeodatabase example (stand-alone script)

The following code sample demonstrates how to import VPF data using the ImportVPFToGeodatabase function.

# Import system modules
import arcpy

# Set local variables
in_vpf_features = r'C:\Data\h1234567\dnc12'
target_workspace = r'C:\Data\Import\h1234567.gdb'

# Call the ImportVPFToGeodatabase tool to <import Vector Product Format (VPF) into a geodatabase>
arcpy.maritime.ImportVPFToGeodatabase(in_vpf_features, target_workspace)

# Get all messages, warnings, and errors and print the results
messages = arcpy.GetMessages(0)
warnings = arcpy.GetMessages(1)
errors = arcpy.GetMessages(2)
arcpy.AddMessage('Tool Messages: {}\nTool Warnings: {}\nTool Errors{}\n'\
                 .format(messages, warnings, errors))
