Override default checks in Geoprocessing?

Question

We are running Data Reviewer batch files within an ArcMap .NET program by calling geoprocessing.  It appears that the presence of certain checks (see "Note" at top of ArcGIS Help (10.2, 10.2.1, and 10.2.2) ) causes the default checks to run.  We have also written the Invalid Geometry Check into our RBJs (as well as multi-part checks) as SEVERITY = 1 because we use these severity values to classify the results later.  Our problem is that Data Reviewer seems to be ignoring our RBJ's Invalid Geometry Check (SEVERITY = 1) and just running the same check as default with a SEVERITY = 5... which is a value our application does not classify.

Is there a way our programmer can either get the default check to return a severity of 1, or get our RBJs Invalid Geometry Check to run instead of being bypassed?  Otherwise I think we're going to need to read the REVTABLEMAIN for the default check title of "Invalid Geometry Check (FC Name) and SEVERITY = 5 separately and reformat it to match the results & classification of the other checks we wrote.

Hi Steve,

You may want to consider disabling default checks in the Reviewer Session to prevent the automatic inclusion of these checks during batch validation. Here is a link to documentation‌‌ that addresses the use of default checks.

These settings can be updated once if the application is working with an existing session. If the application is creating sessions programmatically, then create a session "template" with the default checks disabled and reference that session as a template (session_template parameter) when using the Create Reviewer Session GP tool.

Thanks,

Jay
