branch versioning historical moment

PierreloupDucroix — Mon, 03 Nov 2025 21:45:27 GMT

Hello, I'm trying to create a historical marker in my enterprise geodatabase on a dataset containing branch-versioned feature classes (from a Utility Network).

However, I can't find any documentation regarding the availability of this functionality with branch versioning.

When I access the data directly from the .sde file, I can create a historical marker, but I don't see anything in ArcGIS Pro when I access the same data via the feature service.

Furthermore, when I access the data from the feature service, an error occurs when saving the historical marker.

Upon checking the database, I can't find the sde.gdb_historicalmarkers table.

Is it possible to create markers on branch-versioned data and access them via the feature service?

AGE v11.3

Postgres v14

Pro v3.3

Branch versioned data currently only supports accessing a specific date and time.

I am not able to select the Historical Moment radio button like you are showing - it is not enabled in the UI.

There is an existing enhancement request you can contact support services to get added to. Please give a justification and explain your workflow in detail where being able to access a historical moment/marker would be beneficial to your organization.

ENH-000128422 - Support working with historical markers for feature services with the version management capability.
