Summary
Disables editor tracking on a feature class, table, feature dataset, or mosaic dataset.
Usage
If the input dataset is from an enterprise geodatabase, it must be from a database connection established as the data owner.
When editor tracking is disabled on a field, editor tracking information will no longer be recorded in these fields when edits are made. You can reenable editor tracking with the Enable Editor Tracking tool.
This tool operates on feature classes, tables, feature datasets, and mosaic datasets in a 10.0 or later release geodatabase.
