Check In from Delta (Data Management) (ArcInfo and ArcEditor only)
Release 9.2 Last modified November 29, 2010	Print all topics in : "Tools"

Imports changes from a delta file into the parent replica. A delta file contains only the changes exported from a child replica 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 import message tool in place of this tool.

Usage tips

• Instead of synchronizing edits directly from the child replica geodatabase, you can export the changes only from the child replica to a delta file. Delta files are smaller than the original child replica geodatabase.

• When the synchronize from a delta file succeeds, the check-out replica in the parent geodatabase is unregistered.

• Synchronizing changes from a delta file does not automatically unregister the replica in the child replica geodatabase; this must be done manually.

• 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
CheckinDelta_management <in_delta_database> <dest_workspace> {NON_RECONCILE | RECONCILE}

Parameter	Explanation	Data Type
<in_delta_database>	The delta file that contains the changes to be synchronized.	File
<dest_workspace>	The parent replica geodatabase. The ArcSDE workspace to which changes will be applied.	Workspace
{NON_RECONCILE | RECONCILE}	Indicates whether the synchronize 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

CheckInDelta_management c:\data\housing.mdb "Database Connections\Connection to workspace.sde" NO_RECONCILE

Scripting syntax
