Code Sample

ExportDataChangeMessage example 1 (Python window)

The following Python window script demonstrates how to use the ExportDataChangeMessage function in the Python window.

import arcpy
from arcpy import env
env.workspace = "C:/Data"
arcpy.ExportDataChangeMessage_management("MySDEdata.sde", "Changes.gdb", "MyReplica1", "SWITCH", "TRUE", "TRUE")
ExportDataChangeMessage example 2 (stand-alone Python script)

The following Python script demonstrates how to use the ExportDataChangeMessage function in a stand-alone script.

# Name: ExportDataChangesMessage_Example2.py
# Description: Exports a data change message to a delta file geodatabase (.gdb)


# Import system modules
import arcpy
from arcpy import env

# Set workspace
env.workspace = "C:/Data"

# Set local variables
in_geodatabase = "MySDEdata.sde"
out_dataChanges = "Changes.gdb"
replica_name = "MyReplica1"
switch_directions = "SWITCH"
acknowledge = "TRUE"
new_changes = "TRUE"

# Execute ExportDataChangeMessage
arcpy.ExportDataChangeMessage_management(in_geodatabase, out_dataChanges, replica_name, switch_directions, acknowledge, new_changes)
