Check In (Data Management)
Release 9.2 Last modified November 29, 2010	Print all topics in : "Tools"

Synchronizes changes from a check-out replica in an ArcSDE, file, or personal geodatabase to the parent ArcSDE geodatabase.

Note that this tool is designed for check-out replicas only and should only be used to support applications from earlier releases. It is recommended that you use the synchronize changes tool in place of this tool.

Usage tips

• You must have permission to edit the data you are synchronizing.

• Once synchronized, the changes (edits) will be reflected in the parent geodatabase and are viewable by all users.

• Data cannot be replicated with ArcView.

• Learn more about distributing data

• Learn more about replicas and geodatabases

• Learn more about connected synchronization

• Learn more about synchronization and versioning

• Learn more about synchronizing related data

• Learn more about synchronizing topology

• Learn more about synchronizing geometric networks

• The following environment settings affect this tool: workspace, scratch workspace, and Configuration keyword.

Command line syntax
An overview of the Command Line window
Checkin_management <in_workspace> <dest_workspace> {NON_RECONCILE | RECONCILE}

Parameter	Explanation	Data Type
<in_workspace>	The child replica geodatabase. The workspace that contains the child replica. This can be an ArcSDE, file, or personal geodatabase.	Workspace
<dest_workspace>	The parent replica geodatabase. The ArcSDE workspace to which changes will be applied.	Workspace
{NON_RECONCILE | RECONCILE}	Indicates whether the synchronization process should reconcile the synchronization version after the edits have been synchronized. NON_RECONCILE — there is no reconcile performed. This is the default. RECONCILE — There is a reconciliation performed.	Boolean

Data types for geoprocessing tool parameters

Command line example

CheckIn_management d:\workspace.mdb "Database Connections\Connection to workspace.sde" NO_RECONCILE

Checkin_management (in_workspace, dest_workspace, reconcile)

Parameter	Explanation	Data Type
in_workspace (Required)	The child replica geodatabase. The workspace that contains the child replica. This can be an ArcSDE, file, or personal geodatabase.	Workspace
dest_workspace (Required)	The parent replica geodatabase. The ArcSDE workspace to which changes will be applied.	Workspace
reconcile (Optional)	Indicates whether the synchronization process should reconcile the synchronization version after the edits have been synchronized. NON_RECONCILE — there is no reconcile performed. This is the default. RECONCILE — There is a reconciliation performed.	Boolean
