Problems with Arcp3.2 Parcel Fabric Using ArcPy to Change the Version
As a follow up. When I use the ChangeVersion tool in the python script as follows, all of the feature classes that participate in the record change. Unfortunately, the "TaxlotsPF: Records" feature class does not and remains in the old version.
Versionmap = thisProject.listMaps("Map")[0] # same map as before
pfLayer = Versionmap.listLayers("TaxlotsPF")[0] # same fabric as before
edit = arcpy.da.Editor(WorkSpace) # my workspace
edit.startEditing(False, False)
edit.startOperation()
arcpy.management.ChangeVersion(
in_features=pfLayer,
version_type="BRANCH",
version_name=new_version_fullname,
date=None,
include_participating="INCLUDE"
)
edit.stopOperation()
edit.stopEditing(True)
The results are.... All feature classes Except Records are transferred to the new eversion (also no error message).
Hi Dean,
Thanks for bringing this up. I am getting mixed results with different methods.
I am not able to reproduce the issue using Pro 3.2 or Pro 3.1.4 from the Python Window with an open map (target_map("CURRENT")) or from a script pointing to the map project.
Interestingly, I can reproduce it with a Notebook using an open map (target_map("CURRENT")).
To make sure we're on the same page, with the sample code above, are you expecting only the parcel fabric to switch to the version? I believe we determined that we had to iterate through all of the feature layers to change their version.
This is my map after targeting only the parcel fabric:
UPDATE:
I ran the script from the Python window and the parcel fabric and parcel layers all change version. The topology does not:
Thanks for getting back to me. I am able to iterate thru all the layers. In interating through the list the script I USED to be able to include "Records" (FC/Layer) in the layer list. It now errors out saying that you can no longer do this. Best error message I get is when I use the "Change Version" tool on the "Records" layer. This also errors out in 3.2 (not 3.1X) python scripts. The problem comes when I try to use the python script to use the updateConnectionProperties method on the fabric (TaxlotsPF). When I use this the record is not accessible and if I try to create new record in this new version (because the fabric appears to have been moved) I ONLY see a "blank" menu (no prompts) or anything. I have attached the text script I used. Hope it helps.
Again... The script allows me to change the feature classes / layers associated with the fabric (LOTS,PLATS,TAXLOTS,etc) and that all works fine. Changing other (non-fabric) feature classes (to the version) also works fine. The only layer that does not work correctly is the Records layers that is directly associated with the fabric .
I'm encountering the same issue with transferring layers using the gp tool "Change version" or the arcpy.management.ChangeVersion function. When I utilize them within the Python window in ArcGIS Pro, all layers along with the Records moves to the new version seamlessly. However, when I execute arcpy.management.ChangeVersion from a script ouside ArcGIS Pro, all layers except the Records are moved, and no error message is displayed.
I'm using ArcGIS version 3.1.1. Here's my arcpy code:
from configs import CNFG
import getpass
from arcpy.management import CreateVersion, ChangeVersion
def open_version(ProcessName:str):
'''Creates a new version in a geodatabase.'''
user = getpass.getuser()
version_name = generate_version_name(ProcessName)
CreateVersion(in_workspace = CNFG.FeatureServer, parent_version = "sde.DEFAULT", version_name = version_name, access_permission = 'PUBLIC')
records_layer = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject("CURRENT").listMaps()[0].listLayers('Records')[0]
topology_layer = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject("CURRENT").listMaps()[0].listLayers('Topology')[0]
for layer in [records_layer, topology_layer]:
if layer is None:
AddMessage(f'{layer} was not found')
ChangeVersion(in_features = records_layer, version_type = "BRANCH", version_name = f"{user}@MM_NT_MALI.{version_name}", date=None, include_participating = "INCLUDE")
ChangeVersion(in_features = topology_layer, version_type = "BRANCH", version_name = f"{user}@MM_NT_MALI.{version_name}", date=None, include_participating = "INCLUDE")
AddMessage(f'New version {version_name} created successfully')
