Hi Mike, What I think is the easiest way to do this is to call each of your models from a script. If all of your models are in a single toolbox this is really easy. This is a much cleaner way to execute the custom functions without having to write any??? complex python. Write a python script that looks like this (sorry for the lame names in the example): import arcpy  #Import the toolbox containing the models. arcpy.ImportToolbox(r"c:\temp\toolboxname.tbx", "toolboxAlias")  #Run each model as though it were a tool arcpy.ModelName_toolboxAlias() arcpy.Model2Name_toolboxAlias() arcpy.Model3Name_toolboxAlias() In the example above I have a toolbox named 'toolboxname' that stores all of my models. In this toolbox I have three models named ModelName, Model2Name, Model3Name. In the example I have also chosen an alias for my tools. The alias is 'toolboxAlias', the alias is just used to differentiate your tools from other system tools so there are not name collisions. This is similar to some core tools that have a _management or _analysis alias. Each of the models do not take any input parameters hence the (). If one or many inputs were required for these models you would put them between the () brackets (ex: arcpy.ModelName_toolboxAlias('c:\temp\test.gdb\featureclass')) You can then run this very simple script to call your models in sequence. A (slightly) better example might look like this: import arcpy  #Import the toolbox containing the models. arcpy.ImportToolbox(r"c:\temp\my_analysis.tbx", "models")  #Run each model as though it were a tool arcpy.CustomBufferIntersect_models() arcpy.CreateNewFeatures_models() arcpy.MakeSurface_models() ...

Chris, The first check box is used to determine what to do if there are edits in the delta tables for the dataset that is being unregistered as versioned. If there are edits in the delta tables that have not been compressed to the base table AND this box is checked the tool will error with the following error message ERROR 000101: The dataset <dataset name> contains edits to some versions. If there are no edits in the delta tables for the dataset and this box is checked the tool will run and will unregister the dataset as versioned. In this case the last parameter is ignored. The second parameter is used to determine what to do if there are edits in the delta tables and the first box is unchecked. When these conditions are met the second parameter allows you to choose to compress edits from the Default version into the business table (checked box) or simply delete the delta tables and you lose any outstanding edits (unchecked). We tried at 10.1 to update the labels on the tool to make this easier to understand as we have received feedback that it is difficult. At 10.1 the labels on these parameters now read as "Do not run if there are edits in the delta tables" and "Compress all edits in the Default version into the base table" instead of "Keep edits" and "Compress Default". Hope this helps, ... View more
