Additional Information
when resourcing from one sql server database to another, the feature class name changes as well. Do something like this (looping through all the layers in the project):```lyr = m.listLayers()[0]cp = lyr.connectionPropertiescp['connection_info']['database'] = 'gdb1071en'cp['dataset'] = cp['dataset'].replace('gdb1061en', 'gdb1071en')lyr.updateConnectionProperties(lyr.connectionProperties, cp)```Also keep in mind that when using dictionaries in UpdateConnectionProperties, it works like a find and replace operation of common key/value pairs.
