.sde connection file type when registering a datastore Branch or Traditional

[DrewDowling]

We have a couple of data stores pointing to the same database with different users. Recently, some user passwords were reset. I'm updating the datastore items' passwords by uploading a new .sde connection file. However, I don't know if the data stores were created with branch or traditional versioned connections in the .sde connection file.

My question is, does it matter to a Portal data store item if the underlying .sde connection file was created as a branch or traditional connection?

Yes, it does, especially if you have published feature services.

OK, thanks for the info.

I don't suppose there is any way to tell how they were initially created?
