 Workflow that manages concurrent multiuser editors on a single ArcSDE data source  Versions represent states or views of the geodatabase  Edits are maintained in delta tables until compression

 Before:  Have single editor in each file geodatabase  Notify editors when to disconnect from database  Copy edits from the file geodatabases to a staging file geodatabase, then push those to SDE  Repeat process for each database  After:  Multiple editors in same source  Run maintenance when all users disconnected

 Eliminating dataset duplicates  Faster processing times for dataset edits  Version control  Collaboration

 Register data as versioned  Create versions and grant privileges  Provide training to editors

Default QAQC Named Version

Default Named Version Default User Edit Default Directly 2-Level

 Reconcile edits before beginning an edit session  Database administration  Everyone has to be out of database in order to perform full compression  Checking the process_information table was cumbersome (fixed in 10.1)  Need elevated permissions to disconnect users

 Resolving conflicts  Do not reach full compression  Locks on the database  Deleting tables from the back end  Transaction logs become full

 Implement versioned editing to more SDE databases  Need a more automated QA process  Work on automating maintenance scripts as scheduled tasks

 Administration tools in ArcGIS  Python scripts  ArcGIS Diagrammer  GDBT for 10.0/10.1  Troubleshoot, monitor, and investigate databases  Show Edits Since Reconcile Tool  Generates feature class of all edits between versions  Edit tracking tool
