Reconcile & Post Question

[JordanMiller4]

I created a version called GIS.GIS Data so that operators out in the field could GPS data and I could review it and post the edits to my own version before reaching the Default. My only concern is that our current reconcile and post scripts is grabbing data from each of the child versions under the Default each night. Is there a command in python that would exclude any child versions created underneath another child version from being reconciled and posted to the default? I am very new to the workflow and I would really appreciate some guidance. Thanks

Hi Jordan,

You can create another list to include which versions you want to reconcile.  For example, in the below a new list (reconcileVersionList) is created and all versions except GIS.GIS Data are added to it.  The ReconcileVersions_management function then reconciles all versions in this list.

# Get a list of versions to pass into the ReconcileVersions tool.
print("Getting list of all versions")
versionList = arcpy.ListVersions(adminConn)

for version in versionList:
    if 'default' in version.lower():
        if 'dbo' in version.lower():
            defaultVersion = 'dbo.DEFAULT'
        elif 'sde' in version.lower():
            defaultVersion = 'sde.DEFAULT'

reconcileVersionList = []
for version in versionList:
    if version != 'GIS.GIS Data':
        reconcileVersionList.append(version)


# Execute the ReconcileVersions tool.
print("Reconciling/posting/deleting all versions")
if deleteVersions:
    try:
        arcpy.ReconcileVersions_management(adminConn, "ALL_VERSIONS", defaultVersion, reconcileVersionList, "LOCK_ACQUIRED", "NO_ABORT", "BY_OBJECT", "FAVOR_EDIT_VERSION", "POST", "DELETE_VERSION", reconcileLog)
    except:
        reconcileMessage = "Reconcile failed:  " + arcpy.GetMessages() + ".  Check reconcilelog.txt file in the " + str(reconcileLog)
        arcpy.AddWarning(reconcileMessage)
        pass
else:
    try:
        arcpy.ReconcileVersions_management(adminConn, "ALL_VERSIONS", defaultVersion, reconcileVersionList, "LOCK_ACQUIRED", "NO_ABORT", "BY_OBJECT", "FAVOR_EDIT_VERSION", "POST", "KEEP_VERSION", reconcileLog)
    except:
        reconcileMessage = "Reconcile failed:  " + arcpy.GetMessages() + ".  Check reconcilelog.txt file in the " + str(reconcileLog)
        arcpy.AddWarning(reconcileMessage)
        pass
print("Completed Reconcile & Post")‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I have Multiple feature classes under my version. Is there a way That i can tell to reconcile just one feature class instead of all the features classes under my version in sde.

[JakeSkinner]

Anudeep Gorantla‌ unfortunately, this will not be possible.  When reconciling, it is performed at the version level for all feature classes.
