ArcGIS Desktop – How to Determine Date or Time a Feature Class Was Created in File Geodatabase

arcgis-desktopfeature-classfile-geodatabasespatial-databasetime

I had a script running at the office over the last 5 days and tried to remote on unsuccessfully since the 3rd day. I got here and it appears there was a power outage. Is there a way to find out the time a feature class was created? That would very much help me figure out how long the script took to run.

Actually, if I open the recent History .xml file,

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\ESRI\Desktop10.1\ArcToolbox\History

The most recent will have parameters & env. settings & time. It gives all the geoprocessing tools used (if w/in arcpy) and all the settings and environment settings and time started and finished.

[GIS] Using ArcPy to Rename Feature Class by Field

You want ListFields: http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#//000v0000001p000000

in_data = "test"
out_data = "testFC"
fields = arcpy.ListFields(in_data)
for f in fields:
    print f.name

# join prefix and desired field names with an _
new_name = '_'.join([out_data, fields[0].name, fields[1].name])

# data_type is usually optional...
data_type = "FeatureClass"

arcpy.Rename_management(in_data, new_name, data_type)

"Upgrade to ArcGIS for Desktop 10.5, or use ArcGIS Pro 1.3. A new environment, Maintain Attachments, has been implemented in some Conversion and Data Management tools in ArcGIS for Desktop"

I just tried the append tool in Pro and it works great!
