Alter Version (Data Management)

ArcGIS Pro 3.4 | | Help archive

Summary

Alters the properties of a geodatabase version.

Usage

  • Versioning tools only work with enterprise geodatabase data. File geodatabases do not support versioning.

  • When the input workspace is a database connection file, the version name, access, and target owner properties of a branch version can be altered by the geodatabase administrator. The version description can only be altered by the version owner.

  • License:
    When working with branch versioning in an ArcGIS Enterprise 11.2 or later deployment, organization members must be assigned a license for the ArcGIS Advanced Editing user type extension to use this tool.
