registering or unregistering as versioned a future dataset with python

Question

As you know, you can store feature classes in arcsde in two ways.

Firts, in the root path: sde_conn_file.sde/FeatureClass

Second, in a dataset: sde_conn_file.sde/DataSet/FeatureClass

How can I register as a versioned the feature class that given second example?

I tried the code given below but, it doesn't work.

    FCList = arcpy.ListFeatureClasses("*","All","DATASETNAME")
    for fc in FCList:
        arcpy.RegisterAsVersioned_management(fc,"NO_EDITS_TO_BASE")

Answer 1

You must register the entire dataset as versioned. You cannot single out a specific feature class within the dataset.

database = "C:/Test.gdb"

def versionData(database):
    arcpy.env.workspace = database
    dataList = arcpy.ListTables() + arcpy.ListFeatureClasses() + arcpy.ListDatasets()
    for data in dataList:
        #skips the compress log table if present
        if "compress" not in data:
            try:
                arcpy.RegisterAsVersioned_management(data, "NO_EDITS_TO_BASE")
            except Exception as e:
                print "Error handling: {0}".format(data)
                print e.message
                continue

versionData(database)
