Hello everyone,
I am currently working with ArcGIS Pro 3.2 and using an enterprise geodatabase (SDE) hosted on a server. My goal is to find a solution to improve workflow efficiency and reduce latency issues, especially during remote work sessions where I need to connect through a VPN. As many of you know, using a VPN can significantly slow down tasks, making work less efficient.
I am considering whether creating an extraction replica could be a viable solution for working offline and avoiding VPN-related slowdowns. The idea is to access data locally, make the necessary updates, and then synchronize changes once reconnected to the network.
However, I have already created an extraction replica, but when I disconnect from the network, it doesn't work as expected. It seems like it still tries to connect to the data server to access the replica, even though it is stored locally on my machine.
It's worth noting that I am the only one modifying the database, so there are no potential conflicts to worry about.
Has anyone else experienced this issue or implemented this type of solution? Are there specific challenges or aspects to watch out for? I would appreciate any insights or shared experiences on using extraction replicas in this context.
Here is the Python command copied from ArcGIS Pro :
arcpy.management.CreateReplica(
in_data=ALL MY LAYERS,
in_type="CHECK_OUT",
out_geodatabase=r"C:\Users\username\Documents\SIG\GEODATABASE\bdsig_replica.gdb",
out_name="CheckOutReplica_20241104",
access_type="FULL",
initial_data_sender="CHILD_DATA_SENDER",
expand_feature_classes_and_tables="USE_DEFAULTS",
reuse_schema="REUSE",
get_related_data="GET_RELATED",
geometry_features=None,
archiving="DO_NOT_USE_ARCHIVING",
register_existing_data="DO_NOT_USE_REGISTER_EXISTING_DATA",
out_type="GEODATABASE",
out_xml=None,
all_records_for_tables="ALL_RECORDS_FOR_TABLES",
out_filegdb_folder_path=None,
out_filegdb_name=""
)
Thank you in advance for your advice and feedback,
Best regards
