The first layer of configuration directly affects how the geodatabase as a whole links to Lucity. This includes things like the geodatabase connection string, Geodatabase versioning (for ArcSDE geodatabases), Replica Geodatabases etc. This layer of configuration also contains tools that are designed to quickly setup a general configuration between geodatabase feature classes and Lucity.
Connection Properties
This is the connection string that is entered into the Lucity Administration tool. These properties are used with Lucity’s ArcGIS Desktop extensions when checking to see if a feature class is linked to Lucity and when a connection to the geodatabase is needed to retrieve feature information.
Version Setup
ArcSDE databases allow agencies to split their geodatabases into different versions which provides the a greater ability to assure the integrity of the data entered into the geodatabase. The Version Setup tab provides the ability to specify which SDE versions will update the Lucity databases when they are edited in ArcMap.
Replica Geodatabases
Some GIS departments create a replica version of their geodatabase to provide a read-only geodatabase to the majority of their users. Within the geodatabase configuration there are tools to help quickly configure a replica geodatabase with Lucity based on the parent geodatabase's configuration.
