Enhancements

This section describes new features and improvements.

Offline maps

  • You can now gain fine-grained control over how individual layers are taken offline. Use the layer specific overrides to adjust settings such as whether to omit layers, the area of interest, attribute queries and attachments behavior on a per-service basis.
  • Support has been added for a "fail fast" mode when taking maps offline. By default, a job will run to completion even if a layer or table has problems.
  • The offline local item has been enhanced to allow you to update meta-data on the client.
  • Additional meta-data has been added to Job messages. This information includes the time-stamp and severity of a given message.

Behavior changes include:

  • The on-demand workflow will now honor the scale range of a tiled layer as specified by the web map. This behavior helps to ensure that only the tile data required by the offline map is downloaded.
  • The default behavior for taking a map with related tables offline has been updated such that only the related records from a destination table will be included. All unrelated records will be excluded. This ensures that the offline map contains only the related records that are relevant to the offline features. If you wish to revert to the old behavior (taking all records offline) you can adjust the value of destination table row filter provided by the generate offline map parameters.

Support for MrSID raster format

Multiresolution Seamless Image Database (MrSID) raster format is based on a proprietary compression technique for maintaining the quality of large images. It allows for a high compression ratio and fast access to large amounts of data at any scale without having to decompress the entire file. You can display MrSID data using raster layers in both 2D maps and 3D scenes, and also apply raster functions. Generations 2, 3, and 4 of MrSID are supported.

KML

Runtime now supports reading and displaying KML content in both 2D maps and 3D scenes. You can use KML and KMZ files either from a location on disk or on the web. At this release, the following features are supported in KML version 2.2:

  • Placemarks (point, line, and polygon), ground overlays, labels, and 3D models
  • Screen overlays, Photo overlays
  • Network links, including support for automatic refresh intervals
  • Time awareness - KML layers participate in time filtering
  • Altitude mode (Absolute and Clamp-To-Ground/draped)
  • Ability to identify Placemarks and get Balloon popup content

Local server compatibility

Local Server version 100.3.0 works with ArcGIS Runtime 100.4.0. There is no Local Server 100.4.0 release.
