Change Reporter (Aeronautical)

Summary

Finds changes made to individual feature classes or an entire geodatabase between specified dates. The changes that can be found include feature inserts, updates, and deletes.

Once found, these changes are automatically committed to an ArcGIS Data Reviewer for Desktop extension Reviewer table for further review.

Usage

• This tool only works with archive-enabled databases.

• Archiving can only be enabled with enterprise databases.

• You have to be connected to the Default version.

• For feature classes, modifications are attribute and geometry changes.

• Learn more about using this tool from the Aeronautical Data Management toolbar

Code Sample

ChangeReporter example (Python window)

The following Python window script demonstrates how to use the ChangeReporter tool.

# Reviewer workspace and session
reviewerWorkspace = r'c:\data\reviewer.gdb'
sessionId = "Session 1 : Session 1"

# enterprise geodatabase to scan for changes
inWorkspace = "Database Connections\\EGDB_5201.sde"

# date range
inStartDate = "3/1/2010"
inEndDate = "4/1/2010"

# list of feature classes to scan for changes
inFeatures = "ADHP_C; ADHPSurfacePoint_C;"

# change types
adds = "CHANGE_ADDS"
mods = "CHANGE_MODIFICATIONS"
deletes = "CHANGE_DELETES"

# Execute ChangeReporter tool
arcpy.ChangeReporter_aeronautical(reviewerWorkspace, sessionId, inWorkspace, inStartDate, inEndDate, inFeatures, adds, mods, deletes)
