Export Topology (Defense Mapping)
Summary
Exports a topology from an Esri Defense Mapping solution geodatabase to a .xml file. The .xml file can be used by the Import Topology tool to create a topology in a feature dataset. Both this tool and the Import Topology tool allow you to share and create topologies within different Defense Mapping data models. The .xml file contains a definition of a topology, including feature class names and topology ranks and weights.
Usage
-
This tool supports Esri Defense Mapping data models and can be used on any feature dataset.

Code Sample
The following Python window script demonstrates how to use the ExportTopology tool.
# import os for path functions import os # local variables topology="C:\\data\\MX_GTDS_4_0.gdb\\GTDS\\GTDS_Topology" path="c:\\data" outfile="gtdsTopo.xml" # execute the tool arcpy.ExportTopology_defense(topology,path,outfile) # see if the file exists print os.path.exists(os.path.join(path,outfile))
