Extract Package

Extracts the contents of a package to a specified folder. The output folder will be updated with the extracted contents of the input package.

1.    Input Package

The input package that will be extracted.

2.    Output Folder

The output folder to contain the contents of the package.

Package Layer Tool, Package Toolset, Data Management Tools Toolbox

 

Package Layer

Packages one or more layers and all referenced data sources to create a single compressed . lpk file.

1.    Input Layer

The layers to package.

2.    Output File

The location and name of the output package file (.lpk) to create.

3.    Convert data to file geodatabase (optional)

Specifies whether input layers will be converted to a file geodatabase or preserve their original format.

  1. Checked—All data will be converted to a file geodatabase. This parameter does not apply to enterprise geodatabase data sources. To include enterprise geodatabase data, check the Include Enterprise geodatabase data instead of referencing the data parameter.
  2. Unchecked—Data formats will be preserved when possible. This is the default. The exception to this rule are formats that are not supported in a 64x environment (personal geodatabase (.mdb) data, VPF data, and tables based on Excel spreadsheets or OLEDB connections) and raster formats that ArcGIS cannot write out natively (ADRG, CADRG/ECRG, CIB, and RPF).

4.    Include Enterprise Geodatabase data instead of referencing the data (optional)

Specifies whether input enterprise geodatabase layers will be converted into a file geodatabase or preserve their original format.

  1. Checked—All enterprise geodatabase data sources will be converted to a file geodatabase. This is the default.
  2. Unchecked—All enterprise geodatabase data sources will be preserved and will be referenced in the resulting package.

5.    Extent (optional)

Specifies the extent that will be used to select or clip features.

  1. Default—The extent will be based on the maximum extent of all participating layers. This is the default.
  2. Union of Inputs—The maximum extent of all inputs.
  3. Intersection of Inputs—The minimum area common to all inputs.
  4. As Specified Below—Specify the minimum and maximum extent values.
  5. Same as Display—Extent is equal to the data frame or visible display.

6.    Apply Extent only to enterprise geodatabase layers (optional)

Determines whether specified extent will be applied to all layers or only to enterprise geodatabase layers.

  1. Unchecked—Extent will be applied to all layers. This is the default.
  2. Checked—Extent will be applied to enterprise geodatabase layers only.

7.    Schema only (optional)

Specifies whether only the schema of the input layers will be consolidated or packaged.

  1. Unchecked—All features and records for input layers will be included in the consolidated folder or package. This is the default.
  2. Checked—Only the schema of the layers will be consolidated or packaged. No features or records will be consolidated or packaged in the output folder.

8.    Package version (optional)

Specifies the version of the geodatabases that will be created in the resulting package. Specifying a version allows packages to be shared with previous versions of ArcGIS and supports backward compatibility.

A package saved to a previous version may lose properties available only in the newer version.

  • ALL — Package will contain a geodatabase and layer file compatible with all versions (9.3.1 and later).
  • CURRENT— Package will contain a geodatabase and layer file compatible with the version of the current release.
  • 10.7—Package will contain a geodatabase and layer file compatible with version 10.7.

9.    Additional Files (optional)

Adds additional files to a package. Additional files, such as .doc, .txt, .pdf, and so on, are used to provide more information about the contents and purpose of the package.

10. Summary (optional)

Adds summary information to the properties of the package.

11. Tags (optional)

Adds tag information to the properties of the package. Multiple tags can be added or separated by a comma or semicolon.

Package Locator

Package a locator or composite locator to create a single compressed .gcpk file.

Locators should be stored in a file folder so you take advantage of new features that are not supported for locators stored in geodatabases, such as performance improvements, multithreading capabilities, and suggestions support. ArcGIS 10.4 is the last release to support storing locators in geodatabases.

1.    Input Locator

The locator or composite locator that will be packaged.

2.    Output File

The name and location of the output locator package (.gcpk).

3.    Composite locator only: copy participating locators in Enterprise Geodatabase instead of referencing them (optional)

Prior to version 10.4, this parameter allowed you to specify whether participating locators (for composite locators only) in an enterprise geodatabase would be copied to the consolidated folder or package. As of version 10.4, all participating locators, including locators in an enterprise geodatabase, will be copied to the consolidated folder or package by default. As of version 10.5, locators in an enterprise geodatabase, cannot be accessed and will not be copied to the consolidated folder or package.

4.    Additional Files (optional)

Adds additional files to a package. Additional files, such as .doc, .txt, .pdf, and so on, are used to provide more information about the contents and purpose of the package.

5.    Summary (optional)

Adds summary information to the properties of the package.

6.    Tags (optional)

Adds tag information to the properties of the package. Multiple tags can be added or separated by a comma or semicolon.
