AGSDownloadPreplannedOfflineMapParameters Class Reference

Description

Parameters used with AGSOfflineMapTask to take a preplanned map area offline.

Instances of this class represent parameters that are used with downloadPreplannedOfflineMapJobWithArea:downloadDirectory: (AGSOfflineMapTask(AGSDeprecated)) to create a job that can take a preplanned map area offline.

Property Documentation

◆ continueOnErrors

- (BOOL) continueOnErrors
readwritenonatomicassign

Indicates whether or not the job should continue running in the event of a failure to take a layer offline. If this property is YES, failure to take a layer or table offline will not fail the job, the failure will be exposed in the job result. If this property is NO, failure to take a layer or table offline will fail the job and no more layers or tables will be taken offline. The layer or table's error will be available as the job's error. Default value is YES.

Since
100.4

◆ includeBasemap

- (BOOL) includeBasemap
readwritenonatomicassign

Indicates whether or not a basemap will be included in the offline map.

If you do not want a basemap in the offline map, then set this property to NO.

After loading the offline map, your application can programmatically insert a basemap into the map. Note that a programmatically inserted basemap will not be persisted in the map.

If you want a basemap in the offline map, then set this property to YES. You can choose to either:

The default value is YES.

◆ preplannedMapArea

- (AGSPreplannedMapArea*) preplannedMapArea
readwritenonatomicstrong

The preplanned map area that will be downloaded for offline use.

Since
100.4

◆ referenceBasemapDirectory

- (NSURL*) referenceBasemapDirectory
readwritenonatomicstrong

The path to a directory on the device where the local basemap file is located.

Set this property to use a basemap which is already on the device (rather than downloading it). The directory should only be set when the AGSDownloadPreplannedOfflineMapParameters::referenceBasemapFilename property is defined.

This property supports any directory specified as either:

If the directory does not exist, or does not contain the specified basemap, the AGSDownloadPreplannedOfflineMapJob will fail.

Note that the mobile map package will store either a relative or absolute path to the reference basemap file so that it can be opened in the future.

A relative path typically begins with "./" to denote the parent directory of the resulting mobile map package or "../" to move up one directory. The parent directory of the mobile map package will be set when calling generateOfflineMapJobWithParameters:downloadDirectory: (AGSOfflineMapTask).

For example, to download a mobile map package to "[my root path]/my_offline_maps/my_mobile_map_package", which uses a reference basemap in "[my root path]/other_maps/my_basemap.tpk", you would set the relative path as follows:

Note that this property is ignored if the AGSDownloadPreplannedOfflineMapParameters::includeBasemap property is NO.

100.5

◆ referenceBasemapFilename

- (NSString*) referenceBasemapFilename
readwritenonatomiccopy

The name of a local basemap file on the device which can be used rather than downloading an online basemap. The local basemap filename must end with .tpk, .tpkx or .vtpk since these are the supported file formats. This property can be read directly from settings applied by the author of the online web map (see AGSOfflineSettings) or set by user code to a file known to be on the device. This property will be populated from online settings when created with AGSOfflineMapTask::defaultDownloadPreplannedOfflineMapParametersWithArea:completion. If you wish to use the specified local basemap rather than downloading, you must also set AGSDownloadPreplannedOfflineMapParameters::referenceBasemapDirectory. If the directory does not exist, or does not contain the specified basemap filename, the AGSDownloadPreplannedOfflineMapJob will fail. The spatial reference of the reference basemap is used for the offline map when it is different to the online map's spatial reference. Note that this property is ignored if AGSDownloadPreplannedOfflineMapParameters::includeBasemap is NO.

◆ updateMode

- (AGSPreplannedUpdateMode) updateMode
readwritenonatomicassign

Describes how the offline map will obtain feature updates from the online service.

The preplanned workflow offers three modes for updating the feature data in your offline map:

  • Sync feature changes directly with online feature services.
  • Download a set of scheduled updates (geodatabase delta files which are cached on the server) from the online map area.
  • Download scheduled updates from the online map area and upload new features to the feature service.

To register your mobile geodatabases for syncing with online feature services, set this property to AGSPreplannedUpdateModeSyncWithFeatureServices. Syncing allows you to upload as well as download changes, so this approach should be used when you need full control to edit your data. As you sync changes directly with the back-end services, you will receive the most up-to-date feature data available. This is the default mode if you construct the AGSDownloadPreplannedOfflineMapParameters object.

To download a set of cached updates (delta files) from the online map area, set this property to AGSPreplannedUpdateModeDownloadScheduledUpdates. With this approach, updates are generated whenever the online map area is refreshed - for example according to its update schedule. Updates are prepared once and cached for download by all users of the offline map area. Sharing a single set of cached updates, rather than performing individual sync operations, reduces the load on the back-end services - this makes this approach scalable for large deployments. As updates are only downloaded, this approach can only be used with read-only workflows. The updates also reflect a snapshot of the feature data at the time the online map area was refreshed - rather than the most up-to-date information. The web map author must configure the online map to store cached updates for this approach.

To use a hybrid approach where you download scheduled updates and upload new features, set this property to AGSPreplannedUpdateModeDownloadScheduledUpdatesAndUploadNewFeatures. This approach combines the scalability of downloading scheduled updates with the ability to collect and share data in the field. Note that this approach is strictly add only, meaning that you cannot delete or edit features once they have been uploaded to the feature service.

If you use an AGSDownloadPreplannedOfflineMapParameters::updateMode of AGSPreplannedUpdateModeDownloadScheduledUpdates or AGSPreplannedUpdateModeDownloadScheduledUpdatesAndUploadNewFeatures, with a web map that does not support scheduled updates, the resultant AGSDownloadPreplannedOfflineMapJob will fail with an error NSError::code of AGSErrorCodeMappingScheduledUpdatesNotSupported.
