DownloadScheduledUpdatesAndUploadNewFeatures

Scheduled, read-only updates are downloaded from the online map area and applied to the local mobile geodatabases. Newly added features can also be uploaded to the feature service. This is an advanced workflow that improves the scalability of feature services. When available, applicable scheduled update packages are downloaded and merged into a local geodatabase. This allows for efficient downloading of changes. New features are uploaded using feature sync, which is an efficient operation in the feature service.

Note that when the required update packages are not available, the local geodatabase will be replaced with a new copy. OfflineMapUpdatesInfo.isMobileMapPackageReopenRequired indicates that a new copy of a geodatabase will be downloaded. Local adds on your device must be uploaded to the feature service before the database can safely be replaced.

Be aware that immediately following replacement, the new geodatabase may not contain the new features that have been synced up to the feature service, as this relies on a subsequent scheduled update to download to the client. The new features will be retrieved when the next scheduled update is downloaded and applied.

This mode is available when the PreplannedMapArea.updateCapabilities include both OfflineMapUpdateCapabilities.supportsSyncWithFeatureServices and OfflineMapUpdateCapabilities.supportsScheduledUpdatesForFeatures and the feature services in your map support creating new features.
