Get Archive class using arcpy

kirken — Mon, 08 Mar 2021 07:48:39 GMT

Hi! I need to copy some datasets, feature classes and tables from SDE to GDB including archive tables and classes if they exist. I would like to use arcpy scripting for that but I haven't found the way how to get archive data in python. I know that I can check if feature class is archived like that:

describe = arcpy.Describe(featureClass)
isArch = describe.IsArchived
if isArch:
    do something..

but how can I get the archive class itself???

In desktop it is possible to load and view this archive class, so I suppose it is possible somehow with arcpy as well..

yep, I found this as well and it kinda works for tables and feature classes but I have to figure out how to copy archive data from featureDatasets as well. Probably need to iterate through them somehow.

There is lots of "listing" options

which you can iterate through
