Features being deleted from a feature class

Question

Features are being automatically and unintentionally deleted from a feature class in sde each night. We have to reload them each morning. This is only happening to one feature class out of many that we have. Has anyone else ever encountered this issue?

Thanks.

Besides what jskinner-esristaff suggested, are there maintenance scripts that are set up to automatically run at night?  For example, one to Reconcile all the versions?  Or a nightly process that automatically updates data by tearing it down and rebuilding it with revised data?  It may be that one of the scheduled processes has gone awry.

Hi John,

I would recommend enabling Editor Tracking an Archiving on the feature class so you can determine who and at what time the feature(s) is being deleted.
