Failure to “post” changes from child versions to parent,
In the screenshots below, three child versions are taken from the parent version (default).
Same feature is edited in the three child versions.
Changes in the child versions are detected and “Reconcile” is applied
“Post” has introduced the message below
Then how the changes in the child versions can be posted to the parent?
Does the ArcGIS detect the conflicts between the child versions?
Does the ArcGIS resolve the conflicts between the child versions and then resolve them with the parent?
Thank you

Solved! Go to Solution.
This new thing for me; that updating same feature in different child versions is considered as conflict (particularly id multiple editors are updating same feature in same version).
Before, I thought that conflict IS LIMITED TO updating the same feature in both parent and child version.
We always learn something new everyday
All the 4 connections are with 'sa'?
At all! Connections are made with different users (ali, amjad and sami) as shown in the screenshots below
Exactly...so when you perform the reconcile, use the Connection which was connected with 'sa'...change to the other version and then do the reconcile.
well. If the “start editing” is started selecting the default version as the target, then neither “reconcile” nor “post” are activated! Then how changes in the child versions can be transferred to the default?
Follow the below workflow:
1. From the connection as 'sa' user> add the feature class into ArcMap
2. Change Version to the child version
3. Now start editing
4. Now do the Reconcile
You should get the conflict
Thanks Asrujit.
I’m not sure why this is the only scenario that works; I mean to firstly add the default version (with sa credentials) and then to switch it to a child version and next to apply the reconcile\post (in editing environment).
It will work even when you connect with any 'sysadmin' login and connect to the child version to perform the Reconcile\Post.
The good thing in Pro that the name of the user is displayed with the name of the version.
Both the parent and child versions are accessed with the sa user which makes it possible to post the edits from the child to the protected parent. The child is accessed by the sa by adding the layer by sa (as usual) but then switching the version to child
