Parameters

Label Explanation Data type

Input Workspace

The database connection file to the enterprise geodatabase containing the version that will be deleted.

For branch versioning, use a feature service URL (that is, https://mysite.mydomain/server/rest/services/ElectricNetwork/FeatureServer) or a feature layer portal item.

You can also delete a branch version using a database connection file (connected to a branch versioned workspace) when connected as the geodatabase admin user.

Workspace

Version Name

The name of the version that will be deleted.

For branch versioning, if the input workspace is a database connection file, the name of the branch version to delete should be fully qualified (for example, servicename.portaluser.versionname). If the input workspace is a feature service URL, the name of the branch version to delete should not include the service name (for example, portaluser.versionname).
