Unzip MGCP Cell And Import (Topographic Production Tools)

Summary

Unzips and imports zipped Multinational Geospatial Co-production Program (MGCP) 1-degree-by-1-degree cell packages and MGCP Urban Vector Data (MUVD) resource surface packages (.zip files) into a target geodatabase.

Usage

This tool recursively searches the Root Folder parameter value for .zip files. The folder must contain an MGCP cell package or MUVD resource surface package with the shapefiles and a metadata file.
If no shapefiles are found in the zipped package, this tool will continue to run.
The Target Geodatabase parameter value must be an MGCP or MUVD geodatabase and have an MGCP_Metadata or MUVD_Metadata feature dataset. The MGCP_Metadata feature dataset must contain a Cell feature class. The MUVD_Metadata feature dataset must contain a ResourceSrf feature class.

Label	Explanation	Data type
Root Folder	The folder that contains the zipped shapefile cell or resource surface package (`.zip` file). This folder can contain more than one `.zip` file.	Folder
Target Geodatabase	The geodatabase where the unzipped shapefiles will be imported.	Workspace

Derived output

Label	Explanation	Data type
Output Geodatabase	The database where shapefiles from the Root Folder parameter value have been loaded.	Workspace

arcpy.topographic.UnzipCellAndImport(Root_Folder, Target_Geodatabase)

Name	Explanation	Data type
Output_Geodatabase	The database where shapefiles from the `Root_Folder` parameter value have been loaded.	Workspace

Code sample

UnzipCellAndImport example (stand-alone script)

The following stand-alone script demonstrates how to use the UnzipCellAndImport function to unzip shapefiles in a zipped MGCP package (.zip file), load the data into a file geodatabase, and import Metadata Cell Features:

# Name: UnzipCellAndImport_sample.py
# Description: Unzips shapefiles in a MGCP zip package and loads the data into a file geodatabase, then imports the Metadata Cell Features

# Import System Modules
import arcpy

# Setting Local Variables
root_folder = r'C:\Data\MGCPShapePackages'
target_geodatabase = r'C:\Data\MGCP_TRD_4_4.gdb'

# Unziping TRD 4.2 shape packages to a TRD 4.4 database
arcpy.topographic.UnzipCellAndImport(root_folder, target_geodatabase)
