Disable Editor Tracking (Data Management)

Summary

Disables editor tracking on a feature class, table, feature dataset, or mosaic dataset.

Usage

Caution:

This tool modifies the input data. See Tools that modify or update the input data for more information and strategies to avoid undesired data changes.

• 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.
