<p class=MsoNormal>Hey Shruggers,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Has anybody had any problem with the RefreshCatalog method
not working as expected.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have a script that creates a user defined table populated with
user define values. I have to verify the output by previewing the output in
Catalog, but for the OverWriteOutput method to work (on the next run) the
containing folder “must” be Refreshed, per ESRI as expected
behavior. So I either manually refresh or I should be able to use the
RefreshCatalog method.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I included the RefreshCatalog method as the first process in
the script and it runs beyond this point, but the script fails prior to
creating/overwriting with a new table saying the “table already exists.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Any thoughts? The important part of the scrip is below:<o:p></o:p></p>
