Description

The RegisterAsObjectClass method will register a table or feature class (SDE layer) in the database with the geodatabase. The act of registering the data as an object class will create records for the object class in the geodatabase system tables and assign the object class a unique ID. Once a table or SDE layer is registered as an object class, it can participate in rules, topological relationships and relationships.

When registering a table or SDE layer as an object class, an ObjectID field must be added to it. This field will contain the object IDs which uniquely identify each feature in the class. The object IDs for existing data will automatically be generated. Once a table or SDE layer has been registered as an object class in the geodatabase, it cannot be unregistered.

RegisterAsObjectClass takes two arguments: the name of the object ID field, and the SDE configuration keyword to use for storage of the new data that is inserted into the object ID field. RegisterAsObjectClass returns a long which is the object class ID assigned to the newley registered class.
