Differences in Arcgis Runtime SDK for iOS and calling REST directly

frankm

I am trying to refactor an app here that has some problems with going offline using defaultGenerateGeodatabaseParameters, and I was asked by the our Python team to alter the request somewhat.

I managed to change it to match except for one thing, replicaOptions, which I need to remove.

'replicaOptions': '{ "syncDataOptions": 5 }'

 

I find replicaOptions mentioned in the docs for the REST Api:
https://developers.arcgis.com/rest/services-reference/enterprise/create-replica.htm

 

However, no mention of it in https://developers.arcgis.com/ios/api-reference/

Does anyone know how I can turn it off - is is possible without calling REST directly?

Hello and thank you for your question.  If you look at the REST API you reference, there's the following "replicaOptions":

//(bit 0): Includes annotation features
{"syncDataOptions": 1}

//(bit 1): Includes dimension feature layers
{"syncDataOptions": 2}

//(bit 2): Includes contingent values
{"syncDataOptions": 4}

 

For ease-of-use, these options are called out explicitly as properties in the GenerateGeodatabaseParameters object:

@property (nonatomic, assign, readwrite) BOOL shouldSyncDimensions;
@property (nonatomic, assign, readwrite) BOOL shouldSyncContingentValues;
@property (nonatomic, assign, readwrite) BOOL shouldSyncAnnotations;

The default value for those there properties are `YES`. From your post,'replicaOptions': '{ "syncDataOptions": 5 }' indicates that `shouldSyncAnnotations` and `shouldSyncContingentValues` are set to `YES`, as the "5" is the bitwise-Or of those two properties (as specified in the REST API)

Setting those values to "NO" should give you the result you want.

If you still encounter problems, please let us know. Also, what specific problems are you encountering.

Thank you!
