Summary

Modifies the workspace of a layer or table view to connect to the specified version.

Usage

  • The tool only works with feature layers and table views.

  • The enterprise geodatabase connection file or feature service that is used to create the input feature layer or table view will not be edited by this tool. Only the open workspace of the input feature layer, table view, topology layer, parcel layer, utility network layer, or trace network layer is changed to connect to the specified version.

  • Transactional and historical views are supported.

Parameters
