ArcGIS Help 10.1 - Register As Versioned (Data Management)

Summary

Registers ArcSDE dataset as versioned.

Usage

Versioning tools only work with datasets in an ArcSDE geodatabase. File and Personal geodatabases don't support versioning.
Registering a feature dataset as versioned registers all feature classes within the feature dataset as versioned.
Versions are not affected by changes occurring in other versions of the geodatabase.

Syntax

RegisterAsVersioned_management (in_dataset, {edit_to_base})

Parameter	Explanation	Data Type
in_dataset	Name of the dataset to be registered as versioned.	Table View; Feature Dataset
edit_to_base (Optional)	Determines whether edits to the default version will be moved to the base tables. NO_EDITS_TO_BASE —Dataset will not be versioned with the option to move edits to base. This is the default. EDITS_TO_BASE —Dataset will be versioned with the option of moving edits to base.	Boolean
