16: Describe a scenario where it would be preferable to do non-versioned editing of an Enterprise Enabled ArcSDE geodatabase.
Non versioned editing would be done in a scenario where:
A. Replication/Archiving is not required
B. No Complex Data (Networks or Topology)
C. Edit Session Isolation and Conflict Resolution Unecissary
D. The Edits need to be displayed rapidly.
17: Describe Archiving in and ArcSDE Enterprise Geodatabase.
Archiving allows all changes within the database to be tracked in Archive Tables. This tracks the date and time at which the change was made.
18: Describe the reconcile and post process of a versioned editing environment.
When edits have been completed within a version of the database, those records are reconciled first to resolve any conflicts between edits made in a separate version of the database. Once the records are reconciled, they are then posted to the target database (QA/QC or default). This process allows for quality control of the data before it is posted for public display.
