Create Reviewer Session

Available with Data Reviewer license.

Summary

Creates a new Reviewer session in the specified workspace.

Usage

  • If the specified workspace is not a Reviewer workspace, the tool returns error 090034: Selected workspace is not a Reviewer Workspace. The workspace does not have all required reviewer tables. Use the Create Reviewer Session geoprocessing tool or the Reviewer Session Manager to create a Reviewer workspace.

  • If the specified workspace contains an older version of the Reviewer schema, the tool returns error 090036: This is an older version of Reviewer workspace. You can use the Reviewer Session Manager to upgrade the workspace.

  • When creating a session in an ArcSDE geodatabase, the new session's version is the version associated with the connection properties of the Reviewer Workspace database connection.

  • The Session Template parameter allows you to copy settings from an existing Reviewer session into the new session created by this tool. Settings include the following:

    • Continue batch processing if check fails
    • Continue batch processing if default checks return error
    • Do not store geometry for faster processing
    • Reviewer Table Writer Options (Check for duplicates)
    • Reviewer Table Properties
    • Default checks
    • How to Write Results
    You can access these settings on the Reviewer Session Manager dialog box by clicking the Advanced button.
