This is the normal process using ArcCatalog :

enter image description here

I want to automate this process using sdeLayer or any tools - does anybody have an idea as to how to do it?

there is an application sdelayer (sdelayer.exe) in "C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\ArcSDE\pgexe\bin" i want to create a command line to register featurelayer

sdelayer -o register -l <table,column> -e <entity_mask> -t <storage_type>
{[-C <row_id_column>[,{SDE|USER}[,<min_ID>]]]} [Spatial_Index]
[-E <{empty | xmin,ymin,xmax,ymax}>] [{-R <SRID> | [Spatial_Ref_Opts]}]
[-S <layer_description_str>] [-k <config_keyword>]
[-i {<service> | <port#> | <direct connection>}] [-s <server_name>]
[-D <database_name>] -u <DB_user_name> [-p <DB_user_password>] [-q]

  • database name : sde user : mr password : test feature layer name : parcel parcel column geometry : shape port postges : 5433 user PostgreSQL/arcsde : postgres password PostgreSQL/arcsde : test2 server : localhost – Mounaim Oct 11 '13 at 9:44
  • i want to know that why registering as versioned is necessary. Because if it helps to track a record of delete and add ( Delta Tables), then what is the function of checking or uncheking the option of " Moving the edits into a base table"...? – user36353 Aug 28 '14 at 8:02

You got the wrong sde* command. sdelayer is for the spatial data in a SDE table. The sdetable column is for working on the table, such as adding/removing columns, adding indexes, etc.

You can register a table for SDE with something like this:

sdetable -o register -t railroads -i 5151 -u scott -p tiger -s localhost

When you want to have it versioned in the normal way, use the -V switch:

sdetable -o register -t railroads [...] -V MULTI

And when you want to move edits to base, use hybrid:

sdetable -o register -t railroads [...] -V HYBRID

My table has a column ID, and it needs to be the OBJECTID column, so I specify:

sdetable -o register -t railroads [...] -V HYBRID -C sde -c ID

Try using Register As Versioned (Data Management) GP tool. This GP tool can be used in a Python script:

import arcpy
sde_workspace = r"C:\databasegeo.sde" #path to your .sde file connection on disk
fcs_list = arcpy.ListFeatureClasses()
for fc in fcs_list:
    arcpy.RegisterAsVersioned_management(fc, "EDITS_TO_BASE")

  • please @Alex do you know how to do it with VB.net ? Dim toolR As ESRI.ArcGIS.DataManagementTools.RegisterAsVersioned = New ESRI.ArcGIS.DataManagementTools.RegisterAsVersioned – Mounaim Oct 11 '13 at 10:10
  • @AbdelMounaimTAOUSSI, do you want to use the GP tool in your VB code? I guess you could just use ISQLSyntax to get the name of the owner and IVersionedObject to register a featureclass (and other household work) as versioned. help.arcgis.com/en/sdk/10.0/arcobjects_net/componenthelp/…. Unfortunately, cannot provide any specific details since I don't work with VB that much. – Alex Tereshenkov Oct 11 '13 at 10:18

    You cannot register a feature class/table as versioned by using ArcSDE Commands. They are not aware of geodatabase behaviour. You need to use GP tool/Python/ArcObjects. sdelayer.exe has register option which is for registering the table with SDE, not to register as versioned. – Alex Tereshenkov Oct 21 '13 at 11:54

    I bet you can use IVersionedObject in ArcObjects to iterate through multiple feature classes. If not, then use Python or ModelBuilder (it has Iterate Feature Classes iterator). – Alex Tereshenkov Oct 21 '13 at 13:54

solved (thank you @Alex ) so this is a sample code that i used to register one feature class so after that we can iterate feature class to register them:

   Public featureLayer1 As IFeatureLayer = New FeatureLayerClass
   featureLayer1.FeatureClass = featureWorkspace.OpenFeatureClass("parcels")
   Dim pVersionedObject As IVersionedObject

   pVersionedObject = featureLayer1.FeatureClass

     'Determining if the feature class is registered as versioned
     If pVersionedObject.IsRegisteredAsVersioned = False Then
        'regester feature as versionned 
        pVersionedObject.RegisterAsVersioned(True)
     End If
