I am having an issue registering any dataset in my SDE database. I was able to register as versioned two days ago and now both the register as versioned and unregister as versioned option is greyed out. The only thing I can think of is I turned on Archiving on the datasets. However its weird that one day I could register and now I can't I am thinking its permissions but I have used that database connection info since I set the SDE up.
Solved! Go to Solution.
If you enable Archiving on data which is NonVersioned, this is an expected behavior.

Tips on enabling archiving:
- If a versioned dataset is registered with moving edits to base, archiving cannot be enabled. It must be unregistered and registered as versioned without the option to move edits to base.
- You cannot enable versioning on a dataset that already has archiving enabled on it. You must disable archiving, register the dataset as versioned, then re-enable archiving.

Awesome. That worked. Thank you.
Have you already created a version of the default? If so, try receonciling and po stinging (if needed) and removing the child versions....and a compress wouldn't work. see if that changes anything.
