Offline Considerations
-
ArcFM Mobile requires configuration of the ArcFM Sync Service for offline operational maps. For system requirements, refer to GIS – Supported Versions – ArcFM Mobile Services, Portal, and Tools on myArcFM.
-
Is the server machine you have chosen for the Sync Service web-accessible via HTTPS protocol and secured with an SSL certificate? This is required for the Sync Service and recommended for your ArcGIS servers. Refer to Install SSL Certificate for more details.
-
Does your database use Global IDs for identifiers and relationship classes? This is required for offline ArcFM Mobile. Refer to Offline Data Preparation for more details.
-
Does your organization’s geodatabase use high-precision geometry storage (as opposed to low precision)? High precision is required for taking ArcFM Mobile offline. Use Esri's Update Spatial Reference GP tool for migrating low precision to high precision.
-
Do your ArcGIS map displays meet the requirements of sync-enabled feature services? This is required for offline ArcFM Mobile. Refer to Map Requirements for more details.
-
Will you break up your maps into regions so that users can download only the data they need for their region? If so, you must provide a polygon feature class defining the regions. For instructions, refer to A quick tour of feature classes or the desired feature classes-related page on the ArcGIS Resources website.
-
ArcFM Mobile uses the Esri tile package (.tpk) and vector tile package (.vtpk) formats.
-
Have you implemented Feeder Manager? It is required for tracing in ArcFM Mobile. The solution supports both Feeder Manager 1.0 and Feeder Manager 2.0 but requires FM1.0 fields to be populated. Therefore, if you are using FM2.0, you must have Feeder Sync enabled to populate the applicable FM1.0 fields.
-
Review all the steps necessary for configuring ArcFM Mobile for offline use.
-
Do you have maps that use custom fonts for symbols? If so, those font files need to be manually deployed to all mobile devices. Refer to Configure Data for more information.
