We step up replication from a versioned production Geodatabase into versioned replica about a month ago.  We haven't synchronized for several weeks.   There have been thousands of edits performed in the interval.  When we just recently performed a sync only a handful of features were copied to the replica.  Based on a CREATED_DATE field we can easily see that some classes were not moved at all. When we set up the replica we had a DBA make a new Oracle instance and load a backup from production, so on creating the replica we simply registered all the classes - and we made sure all classes were registered. So, the question is, what could make the sync send only a handful of features when we expected many? Any insights would be much appreciated. Thx, Ed ... View more

We are testing sync-enabled feature services to update mobile geodatabases on field user computers.  Data updates from the server seem to transfer fine.   We just tested changing symbology in the published feature service hoping this would be reflected on the mobile clients on replica syncing, but this does not seem to be happening.   What should our expectation be here?  Is a symbology change in this case equivalent to a schema change and we need to re-create each of the replica mobile geodatabases? Any insights would be much appreciated. Thx, Ed ... View more

We're experimenting with use of sync-enabled feature services to support a mobile application.  We're using archiving as opposed to versioning to detect changes.  In a simple test I added a new feature to the parent feature class in the enterprise geodatabase to see if it would sync down to the client (a runtime geodatabase on a laptop).  Eventually the new feature showed up on the client -- which is good.   However, I noticed that ALL of the features in the runtime gdb had the same gdb_from_date value as my new feature.  I would have expected my new feature to have a layer gdb_from_date than all other records.   Which prompts my question, what/how much information is actually transferred to the client on a "sync"?   I thought it would be only the changes since the last "create replica" or "sync replica" operation.   But it seems like it might be re-sending the entire dataset. Any insights would be much appreciated. ... View more

In ArcObjects there is the IZAware interface we can use to make an existing 2D geometry aware of Z-values.   I can't find the equivalent in the ArcGIS Pro SDK -- but there must be a way to do this.  How can I, for example, change a polyline that may include a parametric curve from a 2D polyline to a 3D polyline? ...

This may seem like ancient history, but I'm looking for a way to convert an Arc/Info Workstation IGL Font to a TrueType font that can be used by ArcMap.   I had thought there was a way to do this, but can't seem to find any either via Google search or here.  Any pointers would be much appreciated.
