If you're running on a server or as a service, don't tell anyone at esri  ... View more

Offline data is generated from a feature service not a map service.  There is no other option.  A .geodatabase is an offline replica, also that is the only format (it is just a sqliite database with a .geodatabase extension).  In AGOL there is no such thing as a map service anymore, but can still do in ArcGIS Server You can setup the take a webmap offline approach to not bring down the tiles: OfflineMapTask offlineMapTask = await OfflineMapTask.CreateAsync(mapItem); var parameters = await offlineMapTask.CreateDefaultGenerateOfflineMapParametersAsync(geometry, 0, 0); parameters.IncludeBasemap = false; var job = offlineMapTask.GenerateOfflineMap(parameters, mapPackageFolder);‍‍‍‍‍‍ But the layers are still feature services, if you had MapService layers they would not be downloaded (also if a feature service is not defined for offline it will not be in the map) ...

What I want to do is run a query on the created date field.  In our specific case we want to know if any records with a specific attribute have been created that day.  Something like... "Where CONTRACTOR = '{name}' AND CREATED_DATE = '04/14/2020'"  I believe in a feature service I could do something like: "Where CONTRACTOR = '{name}' and CREATED_DATE = DATE '04/14/2020'"  According to: Querying Feature Services: Date-Time Queries  But don't seem to be able to get something like this working with a replica (and I have not tested this against a feature service to know if it would really work) Thanks -Joe ...

I'm just looking at the database to see how it is stored.  My goal is to make a query like I described.  So my real question is about doing that.   In trying to set that up I looked at the database to see that it is stored within the replica as a double.  Thinking if I could figure out how that is derived I may be able to do the query I would like.  Right now I am stuck with returning all the records and then checking dates. ...

Could you be a little more specific.  The SketchEditor creates the geometry, so not sure what you mean by still works with the SketchEditor.  If you needed associated attributes I would think you add them after the SketchEditor creates the geometry ... View more

You need the LocationDataSource if you want to use the features provided by the API for location tracking. In terms of the ExternalAccessory have you included the device(s) in info.plist? <key>UISupportedExternalAccessoryProtocols</key> <array> <string>com.geneq.sxbluegps</string> <string>com.geneq.sxbluegpssource</string> <string>com.geneq.sxbluegpsstatus</string> </array>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ I wrote a blog post about setting this up in a Xamarin Forms application.  Not sure if that would be useful for someone doing in iOS: https://community.esri.com/people/minerjoe/blog/2019/08/23/using-external-gps-from-xamarin-forms-ios  ...

Fortunately creating a Rest Service in asp.net core is incredibly straight forward, VS gives a template that will generate the framework with an example Controller. One of the main issues in setting up using the Rest API with secure Portal services is you need to create a ArcGISHttpClientHandler // _portalManager is a service to mange my portal connections ArcGISHttpClientHandler handler = new ArcGISHttpClientHandler { ArcGISCredential = await _portalManager.Credential(true) }; using var client = new HttpClient(handler);‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ An operation that does a standard http get: var featureServiceUrl = new Uri($"{FeatureServiceUrl(replicaDefinition)}?f=json"); //confirm can connect to Url var _ = await client.GetStringAsync(featureServiceUrl);‍‍‍‍ A post is a little more involved but still pretty straight forward: var parameters = new Dictionary<string, string> { {"f", "json"}, {"async", "true"}, {"dataFormat", "sqlite"}, {"replicaID", replicaDefinition.ReplicaId.ToLower()}, {"rollbackOnFailure", "false"}, {"syncLayers", await GetSyncLayersAsync(replicaDefinition)}, {"transportType", "esriTransportTypeUrl"} }; var content = new FormUrlEncodedContent(parameters); var response = await client.PostAsync(requestUri, content); if ( !(response.Content is ByteArrayContent byteArrayContent) ) return null; var json = await byteArrayContent.ReadAsStringAsync(); var status = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<StatusResponse>(json);‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Good luck ...

If you wanted to go down the C# route and create a service then yes you would need to make calls directly to the Rest API.  Using python you could use the ArcGIS API for Python | ArcGIS for Developers. As Mike said, though, you can use the Javascript API and that gives high level language access to the Rest API similar to what Runtime gives from a WPF or Mobile application.  From a web page, this would seem to me to be the best approach, I was just offering up alternatives if for some reason you wanted a different approach ...

For a server side application you could use the Rest API.  Could do this through python, a C# service.  Or you could use a ArcGIS Server SOE. ... View more
