Evaluate Rules (Data Management)—ArcGIS Pro

Summary

Evaluate geodatabase rules and functionality that are managed by services.

Usage

The input feature service workspace must have the validation capability enabled.
The tool evaluates attribute rules for the Default version.

Syntax

EvaluateRules(in_workspace, evaluation_types, extent, run_async)

Parameter	Explanation	Data Type
in_workspace	A feature service URL that has the validation capability enabled, for example, https://myserver/server/rest/services/myservicename/FeatureServer.	Workspace
evaluation_types [evaluation_types,...]	Specifies the types of evaluation to be executed. CALCULATION_RULES —Evaluate batch calculation attribute rules. VALIDATION_RULES —Evaluate validation attribute rules.	String
extent	The extent to be evaluated. If there is a selection in the map, only selected features within the specified extent will be evaluated.	Extent
run_async	Specifies whether the evaluation will run synchronously or asynchronously. ASYNC —The evaluation will run asynchronously. This option dedicates server resources to run the evaluation with a longer time-out. Running asynchronously is recommended when evaluating large datasets that contain a lot of features requiring calculation or validation. This is the default. SYNC —The evaluation will run synchronously. This option has a shorter time-out and is best used when evaluating an extent with a small number of features requiring calculation or validation. Legacy: In previous releases, this parameter was named async. At ArcGIS Pro 2.4, the parameter name was changed to run_async to avoid conflicts with the reserved Python keyword async.	Boolean

Derived Output

Name	Explanation	Data Type
updated_workspace	The updated feature service workspace that has been evaluated.	Workspace

Code sample

EvaluateRules example (stand-alone script)

Evaluate validation rules asynchronously using the EvaluateRules tool.

# import arcpy
import arcpy

# assign local variables
in_workspace = "https://myserver/server/rest/services/myservicename/FeatureServer"
extent = "-113.187897827702 38.0958054854392 -113.142166008849 38.1404599940719"

# run the evaluation
arcpy.EvaluateRules_management(in_workspace, "VALIDATION_RULES", extent, "ASYNC")
