Zusätzliche Informationen

There are no new updates or fixes to the ArcGIS Desktop resource pages at this time for this workflow. The workaround can be used. Alternatively, consider using ArcGIS Pro's workflows instead in the following documentation: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/arcpy/mapping/updatingandfixingdatasources.htm.

Workaround

Update the SDE connection file in an Map Exchange Document (.mxd) file using a script that takes in a workspace and two SDE files and replaces the references for layers that reference them.

Successful replaceWorkspace.py script

  1. Open ArcMap 10.8.1.
  2. In a blank Map Exchange Document (.mxd) file, add one layer from a file geodatabase.
  3. Then, add two layers from an SDE connection (SQL Server).
  4. Then, add a second SDE connection.
  5. Open replaceWorkspace.py and run the script in Command Prompt or in ArcCatalog.
  6. Open up the output new Map Exchange Document (.mxd) file and verify that the SDE connection has been updated.
