The disconnected editing toolset contains tools for performing checkout/check-in replication. Checkout/check-in replication allows remote or mobile users to transfer data from a central database to remote or mobile locations, enabling users to operate independently. This avoids the overhead of a remote database connection while allowing users to maintain connections to other network-based services, such as e-mail.
Remote or mobile users may continue to work with and modify the data even though they are disconnected from the network. When a connection to the network is reestablished, any changes made to the data can be transferred to, and integrated with, data maintained in the central database.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
|
Synchronizes changes from a check-out replica in an ArcSDE, file, or personal geodatabase to the parent ArcSDE geodatabase. Use the Synchronize Changes tool in place of this tool for new applications. | |
Imports changes from a delta file into the parent replica. A delta file contains only the changes exported from a child replica geodatabase. Use the Import Message tool in place of this tool for new applications. | |
Creates a check-out replica from datasets in an ArcSDE geodatabase to an ArcSDE, file, or personal geodatabase for offline editing. Use the Create Replica tool in place of this tool for new applications. | |
Exports changes in a check-out replica geodatabase to a delta file. A delta file contains only the changes exported from a replicated geodatabase. Use the Export Data Change Message tool in place of this tool for new applications. |
