There is still no way to create a historical marker via python as of 10.3.1. However you can connect to your geodatabase at a point in time using python. If you use the Create Database Connection tool (which was new at 10.1 I believe). This tool lets you specify a point in time you wish to connect to. This will connect to your archived data at that point in time. Not quite a historical version but pretty close. ... View more

Hi Juho, Are you using ArcGIS Server feature services or hosted feature services from ArcGIS.com? Why is it that you want to use per replica instead of per layer sync? ... View more

Can you post some of the code that you are trying to execute? There is an example in the help for how to work with this: import arcpy import os fc = 'Database Connections/Portland.sde/portland.jgp.schools' workspace = os.path.dirname(fc) # Start an edit session. Must provide the worksapce. edit = arcpy.da.Editor(workspace) # Edit session is started without an undo/redo stack for versioned data # (for second argument, use False for unversioned data) edit.startEditing(False, True) # Start an edit operation edit.startOperation() # Insert a row into the table. with arcpy.da.InsertCursor(fc, ('SHAPE@', 'Name')) as icur:    icur.insertRow([(7642471.100, 686465.725), 'New School']) # Stop the edit operation. edit.stopOperation() # Stop the edit session and save the changes edit.stopEditing(True) ...

The WITH GRANT option is only available from the database using database level tools. I would not recommend using this privilege to manage privileges for data in an enterprise geodatabase, especially when data is contained in a feature dataset. There are many cases (too many to list) where an ArcGIS dataset is not just one table but many tables in the underlying DBMS. If you use database tools to manage privileges on these datasets and happen to miss one of the underlying tables you will run into issues reading and writing this data. This can lead to data corruption and a lot of sadness. Please stick to managing privileges for datasets with Esri tools. The recommended approach to this is to load data using a 'headless' user. This user could be a database user or an OS authenticated user that isn't associated to someone specific in your organization. Loading data as this user will allow you to manage privileges using this user. Hope this helps, Russell ... View more

I cannot directly answer your question because I am personally not familliar with all of the local government maps/apps and if they rely on editor tracking fields. I would suggest that rather than using the 'Manage > Enable editor tracking' option to enable editor tracking that you use either the GP tool or go to the properties page for the dataset. Using either of these options allows you to specify an already existing field to use for any of the four editor tracking fields. You could point to the existing LASTUPDATE and LASTEDITOR and use these instead. Hope this helps, Russell ... View more

Hi Clara, I just sent you a message with my email address. ... View more

Hi Clara, I am glad to hear that you are on your way and things are working as expected. I tried a simple test on my end to try to reproduce this issue but was unsuccessful. Were you viewing the records in Oracle or in ArcGIS? If using Oracle tools to view the data you may not have seen the edits in the table because they would be stored in the delta tables. I would like to track down the cause of this issue, are you able to send me the version of desktop and geodatabase that you are working with? Thanks, Russell ... View more
