Offline Data Preparation

Each feature class to be published must contain a global ID field. The global IDs you add to the datasets you take offline cannot be based on a custom field—they must explicitly use the global ID field created by ArcGIS. To add global IDs to your data, use the Add Global IDs geoprocessing tool or the Add Global ID command on the feature class, feature dataset, and table context menus in the Catalog tree.

The following fields must be included in the feature service, and the columns cannot be hidden in any of the feature classes to be published:

• Fields that have subtypes

• Primary and foreign key fields for the relationship class or attachments

• Editor tracking fields (if editor tracking is enabled on the dataset)

The login account specified in the database connection used to access the data must be granted the privileges on the data in the geodatabase that allows them to perform the editing operations configured for the feature service.
