arcpy.management.ChangeVersion BRANCH not working in toolbox

HervéW

Hi,

When trying to change the version of a BRANCH service feature class in ArcGIS Pro 2.9.8 with following line of code : arcpy.management.ChangeVersion(in_features=Canalisations_GAZ, version_type="BRANCH", version_name="sde.DEFAULT", date="", include_participating="INCLUDE"), it works well when executed from the Python window or using Change Version (Data Management)—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation in the Geoprocessing window.

But when trying to execute the same line of code in a Python script in a toolbox, no error is triggered, but the Feature Service Feature Class is not changed to the sde.DEFAULT version.

Is there any limitation in using that line of code inside a toolbox ?

I already searched the community forum and this behavior is mentioned in some posts, but without any solution.

The purpose is to have the possibility to change the version of BRANCH service feature classes from one version to another (DEFAULT or not).

Any clue on this issue ?

Regards,

Hervé

Hello @HervéW

Are you trying the change version with the below code snippet?

arcpy.management.ChangeVersion(in_features, version_type, {version_name}, {date}, {include_participating})

Since it is Branch Versioned feature service. Could you try to change the version manually? Switch to List by data source view >> Right click on sde.default >> change version >> select the child version. do we see any error?

Hello @RudraniChakraborty

When I change the version using "Change version" menu in ArcGIS Pro, everything is working well.

I am also able to execute the following code inside the Python window in ArcGIS Pro :

proj=arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject('current')
for mp in proj.listMaps():
	for ly in mp.listLayers():
		if ly.isFeatureLayer:
			cnx=ly.connectionProperties
			if 'version' in cnx['connection_info']:
				url=cnx['connection_info']['url']
				v=cnx['connection_info']['version']
				if v!='sde.DEFAULT':
					arcpy.management.ChangeVersion(in_features=ly,version_type="BRANCH",version_name='sde.DEFAULT',include_participating='INCLUDE')
					print(f'switching from version {v} to sde.DEFAULT for layer {ly}')
					print(ly.connectionProperties['connection_info']['version'])

But when I put the same code inside a toolbox, it didn't work at all. The loop is executed, we can see in ArcGIS Pro that the code is trying to switch from one version to the default, but at the end all the layers stay inside the created version.

Regards,

Hervé

Hi,

We finally abandoned trying to change the version inside a toolbox, it seems it is not possible to do it this way. We keep using versions through ArcGIS Pro menu items.
