Branch Versioning + Data Reviewer Checks Issue

Question

Hi all. We are preparing our database to be usable with Workflow Manager. We have prepped and published our database (Branch versioned, Arcade Attribute Rules, etc.), and is more/less ready to use in WFM.

We have hundreds of Data Reviewer batch checks set up for our outdated system - that we want to incorporate/run at the end of a Workflow Job. We are having trouble applying these Data Reviewer checks in a versioned database. We don't want to have to up-end and re-write/map these Data Reviewer Checks for each new environment if we don't have to.

Brainstorming, we are thinking of perhaps making a version of the Default database, that editors will then create a version of and edit (a QAQC version, that users will then branch off of).

We don't feel as if this is the first instance of this speedbump - we value any input or recommendation. Thanks for your time.

It sounds as if you are trying to use a Reviewer Batch Job (.rbj) from Workflow Manager (Classic?) to validate features shared through a branch-versioned feature service. If so, then the problem you're encountering may be due to the fact that Batch Job-based validation only supports traditional and non-versioned workspaces.

For branch-versioned services, the recommended workflow is to use Data Reviewer's checks that have been integrated into Attribute rule workflows and the Validation service.  Workflow Manager 10.9.1 includes a new step (Evaluate Data Quality) that integrates this service into a job.

The Q2 2022 release of ArcGIS Pro will include an automated method for converting Reviewer Batch Jobs to Attribute rule CSV.

One thing to mention is that you can only create branch versions off of default(Default-QAQC-child won't work for branch versioned data). You can manage who posts edits by utilizing users that have the "manage all" privilege in their role - https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/portal/latest/administer/windows/roles.htm
