How To Change the SDE Transaction Version in Python

JoseSanchez — Fri, 22 Jan 2016 19:43:17 GMT

Hello everyone,

How can I change in Python the current Geodatabase Connection Properties from a SDE connection to point to a specific version instead of DEFAULT one.

What I need to do in Python is the same thing we do in ArcMap "Change SDE Version".

Ideally I would like to create 2 connections in my script to the same SDE instance one pointing to DEFAULT and another to PREPRODUCTION.

Thanks

Hi Jose,

You can use the Change Version function to do this.

Hi Jake,

I tried to use the feature " Change Version" with a feature class and I had a issue with that because the feature class has a GLOBALID field so when I try to save it to a file geodatabase the column GLOBALID does not get created.

The easiest solution for me is to create in ArcCatalog 2 connections to the same SDE instance one pointing to Transactional Version DEFAULT and another pointing to Transactional Version PREPRODUCTION.

I am wondering if there is a way to specify the Transactional Version, or change the Transactional Version in a connection in Python.

Thanks
