These roles should be created when using SQL Express workgroup or desktop geodatabases. However if you are using enterprise geodatabases these roles are not created. Types of geodatabases: Geodatabase | Multiuser Geodatabase‌ ... View more

My first impression is that this appears to be a software bug or a data issue. I would be interested to know: Are you are able to run the Synchronize Changes GP tool outside of python? Are you able to run the SynchronizeChanges_management function in a python script if your hardcode all your parameters? Are you able to sync using the replica manager tools? There does not appear to be anything in the script that should cause this type of failure. ... View more

Erik, If you enable attachments prior to creating the replica the attachments will sync up when you perform your synchronization. If you enable attachments after the replica is created the best option is likely to unregister your replica and then register using the 'register existing data only' option. The register existing option would look something like this: a) Copy delete the feature class on the relative replica and copy the class (with attachments) to the relative replica. Ensure you have globalIDs before copying). b) Sync the existing replica to make sure each side has all pending changes. c) Create a new replica that includes the changed class with attachments enabled using the “Register Existing data only” option. This will take only a few seconds to complete as the data already exists on both sides. d) Assuming no additional edits had been done b/w steps b & c, unregister the old replica.  (if edits had been done, just make sure to sync the old replica before unregistering) e) Now move forward with the new replica. ...

Mar, Take a look at this topic, it describes how to perform the validation you are looking for. Customizing Script tool behavior‌ The first example on this page shows you what you need to do in the updateParameters method: def updateParameters(self):   # If the option to use a weights file is selected (the user chose   # "Get Spatial Weights From File"), enable the parameter for specifying   # the file, otherwise disable it   #   if self.params[3].value == "Get Spatial Weights From File":    self.params[8].enabled = 1   else:    self.params[8].enabled = 0 You will want to change this slightly for your workflow. ...

David, The functionality you are describing is available through editor tracking (no scripting necessary). Check out this link for more information: Editor Tracking You can either enable it manually: Enable Editor Tracking Or use GP tools to do this: using GP In your case you could just enable Editor and Edit Date, you don't need to enable everything. The bonus of doing this vs a script is that it will also work in ArcGIS Server and if you are in an enterprise geodatabase it will not cause conflicts. Hope this helps, Russell ... View more
