Enable Data Reviewer (Data Reviewer)

Available with Data Reviewer license.

Summary

Adds a feature dataset and tables necessary for an existing geodatabase to be considered a Reviewer workspace and store ArcGIS Data Reviewer results. The Reviewer workspace tables are required by Data Reviewer to manage Reviewer sessions.

Legacy:

ArcMap-based Reviewer workflows will soon be deprecated. It is recommended that current users begin converting their workflows from Reviewer batch jobs to Data Reviewer attribute rules.

Usage

• This tool adds the required dataset and tables for storing Reviewer results if they do not already exist.

• If the input Reviewer workspace was upgraded to 64-bit object IDs, running this tool will not reverse the upgrade unless the table containing 64-bit object IDs is deleted.

• The spatial reference of the Reviewer workspace and the data being validated must match for Reviewer geometries to be stored in the Reviewer workspace.

• If this tool is run on an older version of a Reviewer workspace, the tables will be updated to the current schema.

• A warning appears if this tool is run on the current version of the Reviewer workspace.

• This tool can be used in conjunction with the Create Reviewer Session tool to create a session in the Reviewer workspace.

• If a configuration keyword is not provided for the Configuration Keyword parameter, the Output CONFIG Keyword environment setting will be used as a configuration keyword. If the environment setting does not exist, the DEFAULTS keyword will be used as the configuration keyword.

• Versioned Reviewer workspaces created before ArcGIS Pro 2.1 require a user with administrative privileges to reconcile and post the Reviewer session tables and compress the enterprise geodatabase before upgrading to the latest Reviewer schema.

• The Coordinate System parameter is ignored when upgrading a Reviewer workspace to the current version.

• The Register as Versioned parameter is honored when upgrading a nonversioned Reviewer workspace to the current version. This parameter is ignored when upgrading a versioned Reviewer workspace to the current version and the parameter is unchecked.

• The Configuration Keyword parameter is honored when upgrading a Reviewer workspace to the current version and tables are missing. The Configuration Keyword parameter is ignored when upgrading a Reviewer workspace to the current version and all tables are present.

Register as Versioned (Optional)	Specifies whether the feature classes and tables added to the workspace will be registered as versioned. This only applies to enterprise databases. Unchecked—The feature classes and tables will not be registered as versioned after they are added to the geodatabase. This is the default. Checked—The feature classes and tables will be registered as versioned after they are added to the geodatabase.	Boolean
Configuration Keyword (Optional)	The configuration keyword that determines the storage parameters of the database tables. This applies to file and enterprise geodatabases. The DEFAULTS keyword is used by default.	String

EnableDataReviewer example (stand-alone script)

The following stand-alone script demonstrates the EnableDataReviewer function.

# Name: EnableDataReviewer.py
# Description: Adds the Reviewer workspace feature dataset and tables to
#   a new geodatabase and creates a Reviewer session
# Author: Esri
# Date: June 2014

# Import arcpy module
import arcpy

# Set environment
arcpy.env.workspace="c:/data/"

# Create new geodatabase
workspace = arcpy.CreateFileGDB_management("c:/data/","ReviewerWorkspace")

# Execute EnableDataReviewer
arcpy.EnableDataReviewer_Reviewer(workspace,"#","#","DEFAULTS")

# Create a new Reviewer session
