Before:
Prior to writing a python program, I had to go through the following
steps manually:
1. Download data from Strava’s FTP site to TxDOT network drive (I:),
2. Extract data from I: drive to another J: drive so, data on the I: drive is kept as a
backup of original downloaded data.
3. The extracted data on J: drive is then checked for any corrupt files.
4. The data comes in two different formats, shapefiles and file geodatabases. Since
the data is same in both the formats, and all users in our organization have
access to ArcGIS software, we need to retain geodatabases with feature classes
and tables and delete shapefiles and related csv and dbf files to save space on
the network. And finally, rename the geodatabases with its respective parent
folder.
Now, it definitely sounded complicated and still time consuming…
Also, need constant manual interaction and monitoring.
