WMX offers the functionality of tracking the workflow for data updates and storing any related source information for the job. When maintaining data in a multiuser database that is used in large production systems, it is important to be able to assess the lineage of data changes and related source information at any time. A couple of examples of where it is necessary/useful are:
- when conficts are detected during reconcile, the user needs to assess the conficting updates to data and knowing the job id associated to the edits is a great benefit during the investigation.
- In a nautical chart production system, the producing agency is liable for nautical chart product correctness and recentness. In case of accidents at sea, the producing agency must document that the version of the nautical chart available during the accident was up to date and contained correct navigational information. For this type of investigation, it would be very beneficial to be able to see the associated WMX jobs, when inspecting feature lineage with the ArcGIS archiving tools.
When inspecting the archive tables, it is not possible to see which job is associated to a particular feature update. The desired WMX functionality is documented in the online documentation (https://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/latest/extensions/workflow-manager/using-the-geodatabase-archiv...) , but it doesn't seem like it is working as documented. Are these tools still supported in Workflow Manager (Classic) and will they be migrated to ArcGIS Pro?
Thanks!
