Need mapservers that are offline sync enabled

DevendraKhatri — Wed, 14 Jul 2021 14:43:21 GMT

I am looking for offline capable ESRI map servers URLs, have searched online and in the community as well. I haven't seen any sync enabled URLs. Are there any sync enabled map servers publicly available ? Please share if any.

Also, can I create map server myself with just a normal developer licence without ArcGIS server, desktop and pro?

Hi,

ArcGIS MapServices do not support editing and sync operations. For editing (including sync), you need to work with FeatureServices.

Thanks

Thanks for response,

Also, Mapserver has the capability to group multiple layers, does FeatureService also provide this capability !

Can we group multiple FeatureService as one group ?

FeatureServices cannot be grouped while publishing. Even ArcGIS Online also doesn't support it for Hosted FeatureServices.

However you can group FeatureLayers on the client side in Runtime
