This procedure imports a raster dataset into a file or enterprise geodatabase, using an ArcGIS® catalog path. ENVI_OUTPUT_TO_GDB does not support importing vector data into a geodatabase.

Syntax

---

ENVI_OUTPUT_TO_GDB, FID=file ID, OUT_NAME=string

Keywords

---

FID

The file ID (FID) is a long-integer scalar with a value greater than 0. An invalid FID has a value of -1. The FID is provided as a named variable by any routine used to open or select a file. Often, the FID is returned from the keyword R_FID in the ENVIRasterToFID routine. Files are processed by referring to their FIDs. If you work directly with the file in IDL, the FID is not equivalent to a logical unit number (LUN).

OUT_NAME

Set this keyword to a string that represents a catalog path.

A catalog path is one that ArcGIS® software recognizes; it includes the name of the geodatabase plus a raster dataset within the geodatabase. Set CatalogPath to a string value. Following are some examples of valid catalog paths.

File geodatabase:

Local: 'C:\data\core\CoreGeodatabase10.gdb\S068W013d_Clip'

Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path: '\\ags10\data\CoreGeodatabase10.gdb\S068W013d_clip'

Enterprise geodatabase:

ArcCatalog™: 'Database Connections\ags10-sde.sde\sde.sde.s068w013d_Clip'

Local: 'C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Esri\Desktop10.0\ArcCatalog\ags10-sde.sde\sde.sde.s068w013d_Clip'

UNC path: '\\ags10\data\ags10-sde.sde\sde.sde.s068w013d_clip'

Example

PRO example_output_to_gdb

     compile_opt idl2

  ;

  ; First restore all the base save files.

  ;

  envi, /restore_base_save_files

  ;    

  ; Initialize ENVI in the batch mode   

  ; and send all errors and warnings

  ; to the file batch.txt.

  ;

  envi_batch_init, log_file='batch.txt'

  ;  

  ; Open the input file 

  ;

     filename = filepath('bhtmref.img', $

              root=envi_get_path(), subdir=['data'])

     envi_open_file, filename, r_fid=fid

  ;

  ; Write the raster image to a file geodatabase

  ;

     envi_output_to_gdb, $

        out_name='c:\data\mydataset.gdb\bhtmref', $

           fid=fid

  ;

  ; Exit ENVI

  ;

     envi_batch_exit

END

Any errors are written to a log file if you are running in batch mode with logging enabled.
