<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am in the process of trying to automate the update process for my mapserver GIS data. As part of the process I am using shptree to build spatial indexes. I created a batch file (.bat) that will set all the paths and environment variables
then run shptree on my new GIS layers. This batch file works fine on its own. My next that I would like to do is call this batch file from ArcGIS so that I can run the “update shptree” script immediately after I update my GIS data. Although I can use python
to open up my “update shptree” batch file, it appears that shptree does not get run at all.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please let me know If anyone has had any success in using ArcGIS to run shptree.exe.
