RepairVersionTables example 1 (Python window)

You can alter and run the following from a Python window to repair inconsistencies in delta tables for the Parcels feature class.This example connects through the database connection file productiongdb.sde.

import arcpy

input_database = "c:\\temp\\productiongdb.sde"
out_log = "c:\\temp\\gdb_repair.log"
target_version = "SDE.Default"
input_tables = "GIS.Parcels"

arcpy.RepairVersionMetadata_management(input_database, out_log, target_version, input_tables)
RepairVersionTables example 2 (stand-alone script)

The following is a stand-alone script you can alter and run to repair inconsistencies in the delta tables of the Parcels feature class.

# Description: repair version metadata
