In a previous post, I showed how to uncompress a set of file geodatabases in a folder. To compress a set of file geodatabases, using the CompressFileGeodatabase_management(). This script will use the List functions to list all the file geodatabases and then compress them. When completed successfully it returns 'true' else it returns false.
import arcpy
from arcpy import env
if __name__ == '__main__':
try:
workspace = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0)
env.workspace = workspace
fgdbs = arcpy.ListWorkspaces("*","FileGDB")
for fgdb in fgdbs:
arcpy.CompressFileGeodatabaseData_management(fgdb)
env.workspace = None
arcpy.SetParameterAsText(1,True)
except:
env.workspace = None
arcpy.AddError(str(arcpy.GetMessages(2)))
arcpy.SetParameterAsText(1,False)
Enjoy
