Seeking tool/script to batch save multiple MXD files to map packages [closed]

Question

I have a directory and sub-directory with many map documents (MXD). I need to save these MXDs to map packages to send to a client. This can be done through File/Create Map Package.

Are there any tools or scripts that will take all of these MXDs and produce map packages in batch mode, preferably in the background?

Answer 1

you can write your tool with Package Map (Data Management). and there is a very good example there to use.

Find and create map packages for all map documents that reside in a specified folder.

# Author: ESRI

# import system modules
import os
import arcpy

from arcpy import env

# Set environment settings
env.overwriteOutput = True
env.workspace = "C:/arcgis/ArcTutor/Editing" 

# Loop through the workspace, find all the mxds and create a map package 
  using the same name as the mxd
for mxd in arcpy.ListFiles("*.mxd"):
    print "Packaging " + mxd
    arcpy.PackageMap_management(mxd, os.path.splitext(mxd)[0] + '.mpk', "PRESERVE", 
    "CONVERT_ARCSDE", "#", "ALL")
