I was wondering, would state_id <> 0 in the states table indicate presence of versioned data? I dont care which FCs are versioned, but if there are any or not. ... View more

Thanks, strangely I can see one FC which I know is versioned but it is not in gdb_items_vw. Also the sql in the example wont return any records but I know there are versioned FCs. ... View more

I will need to hit the database directly to see if there are versioned tables/FCs. From these tables: STATES, STATE_LINEAGES, VERSIONS, and MVTABLES_MODIFIED which one is the best to query to get a definitive answer if there are versioned FCs/tables in the sde db? I was counting how many records exist in the versions table, but there could be 1 record, but still there are versioned FCs. In this case state_id is > 0. There are also DBs with more than on record in the versions table. So what is the best way to query the SDE db to find out? ... View more

We also have some user-schema geodatabases in our oracle DB instance. Will this be a problem, especially from updating to arcgis enterprise 10.6 point of view. Any information about dropping support for these US DBs?  ... View more

One more question here: After I did 1st data edits and sync/ed back to AGOL there is some more data added. Is there a way to only create a local copy of only the new data next time I need to edit/QC? ... View more

It seems so. But since no attachments are downloaded, and the resulting FGDB is ~5 Mb, it seems arcmap do some more checks on the attachments. It would be nice someone from ESRI to elaborate. ... View more

Zdravo (Hi) Zoltane, I am using 10.5.1, but this env setting is not something I use. Creating local copy for editing a hosted Feature Service Feature Class doesn't seem to use it either.  What I want is for someone to confirm if this  will download attachments or not. The other strange thing I noticed is that if I try to create a local copy on a very small extent, it takes 2-3 minutes and no attachments are downloaded. If I try to get the full extent ~11x8 km, with a ~5000 features across 27 layers, it starts but never finishes (at least not is 3 hours). ArcMap is not responding and is using a lot of network bandwidth. Local FGDB seems to reach 3.88 Mb in size and stops growing. Has anyone seen this? Is this a bug? ... View more

I did a new test on a small area when creating the local copy for editing. It seems that the attachments are not downloaded by default. So it seems there is no problem. It still takes time though - around 3 mins for 1.8 MB local FGDB. Can anyone confirm that the process of creating local copy doesn't download the attachments. ... View more

Hi Jake Thanks. Did I get this right? So the workflow will be. 1. Use your tool to download the data only (to FGDB) but not the attachments. 2. Do my edits to the data 3. Publish back to AGOL and use the option to overwrite and existing service. Is that so? ... View more

Just to expand the question a bit. I have 2 images attached to every feature in the layer/feature class. The total size of the FGDB is 7 GB. It takes ages to download and upload. I generally don't need to do any edits to the images, so is there a way to make a local copy of the features only, and do not download the images? ... View more

I did try it and it works in ArcMap.  However one thing puzzles me - if I add a new attribute field in arcmap and then sync to the AGOL, the new field is not shown/reflected in the HFS. Like wise if I add a new field from AGOL to the HFS, I can see the new field in the browser, but when I create a local copy the new field is not is it. Is this to be expected? Otherwise I can change geometries and attributes OK. ... View more

Hi Jake, we are talking about using arcmap here, not arcgis pro? right? ... View more
