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

I've learned a *little* more about this behavior, but still don't understand it. We've found that when we follow similar steps in ArcPro (download the mobile geodatabase, make updates in Pro to the service, then sync to the mobile geodatabase) that the gdb_from_date was only updated for features that actually changed. Which is different than the behavior we see when a sync is performed using the runtime API. So, I guess this is a little more data, but not more knowledge.

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.

Annette - Pretty interesting. I will give this a try. Thanks much! Ed

Ayan - Thanks for the additional detail. This helps. Ed

Ayan - Thanks for the info, but my question is specifically about the File Geodatabase data structure. Is there something about a File Geodatabase created or edited in ArcGIS Pro that makes it incompatible with use in ArcCatalog? Ed

I got a Utility Network asset package as a file geodatabase from Schneider Electric. This opens and behaves as expected in ArcGIS Pro. When I try to open several of the classes in ArcCatalog I get "Unable to instantiate class for XML schema type: ArrayOfFieldGroup". Is there a problem with this FGDB, or are File Geodatabases not guaranteed to be sharable between Pro and ArcGIS 10x? Thx, Ed

Right. I've looked at the examples in the Geometry snippets, but none seems to completely satisfy the need to ensure all components are z-aware. I could get all the points from the source polyline, update them to 3-D and re-create the polyline as 3-D, but that would lose any parametric curves.

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?

Sorry I'm late to the party here, but when I tried to open the ElectricDevice class in ArcCatalog 10.8 I get an error message "Failed to Edit Selected Object". I'm guessing there are extra steps required... or that this can only be opened in ArcGIS Pro? Thx, Ed

Hello Scott - Any chance that ESRI tech support got back to you with a resolution to this issue? I'm working with an organization that is getting the same errors - albeit in Oracle. There are no non-ESRI indexes on the table where the error occurs. Thank you, Ed Blair

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. Thx, Ed

Kind of interesting. As look at the GDB_ITEMS table in SQL*Server Management studio the row for my problem feature class does indeed have a NULL Definition field. Not sure how that could happen - I've never touched the database outside ArcGIS -- though I've been using ArcPython to update class properties (i.e., add fields, domains, etc.) Wonder if I could copy a Definition field from another class into my null field... which might allow me to delete the class.

‎06-28-2020

I've run into the same issue in a SQL*Server instance running ArcGIS 10.6.1. Did you ever find a resolution? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thx, Ed

Is there a way to read records from a many-to-many relationship table from Arc Python? Thx, Ed
