Repair Version Metadata (Data Management)

Summary

Repairs inconsistencies in the versioning system tables of a geodatabase that contains traditional versions.

Usage

  • Run the Diagnose Version Metadata tool to determine if there are inconsistencies in your geodatabase versioning tables before you run the Repair Version Metadata tool.

  • This tool can only be run on an enterprise geodatabase.

  • This tool does not support geodatabases in SAP HANA because they don't support traditional versioning.

  • Only the geodatabase administrator can run the Repair Version Metadata tool.

  • Always create a database backup before running the Repair Version Metadata tool.

RepairVersionMetadata sample 1 (Python window)

You can alter and run the following from a Python window to repair inconsistencies in the version system tables.

This example connects through the productiongdb.sde database connection file.

import arcpy

input_database = "c:\\myconnections\\productiongdb.sde"
out_log = "c:\\temp\\gdb_repair.log"
arcpy.RepairVersionMetadata_management(input_database, out_log)
