Mobile geodatabase symbology update from a sync-enabled feature service

[EdwardBlair]

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

For what is worth, we've found that changing symbology on a feature service is equivalent to a schema change.   Seems that symbology in the mobile geodatabases is defined in a table named GDB_ServiceItems -- which I suppose Esri considers to be part of the database schema.   So... in order to propagate symbology changes to mobile users we need to provide *new* mobile geodatabases produced from the updated feature service.   Symbology will *not* be updated in normal synchronization.
