MDCS Create Reference Mosaic Dataset #116

Closed mapface closed 1 year ago

Unable to create a Referenced MD using this command:

There's no errors in the logfile, but no reference is created. I've tried hardcoding paths in and , as well as using m: and p: in the console to override the mosaic and output but no luck. What am I missing?

I got it working using variables, although I'm still a bit confused since I had to set the MosaicDataset name as the Reference I wanted to create, rather than the existing source
