    Declaration

    Swift

    public final var downloadGroup: String? { get set }

  • The download mode for use in synchronization. Defaults to any. If the download mode is any, then it will be treated as batch if ServiceOptions.batchEntityDownloads is true, as parallel if ServiceOptions.entityDownloadThreads is greater than 1, otherwise as sequence.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public final var downloadMode: DownloadMode { get set }

  • The download order for use in synchronization. If the downloadMode is sequence, then within a download phase entity sets are downloaded in strict sequence of the download order. If the downloadMode is batch or parallel, then within a download phase entity sets are started downloading in strict sequence, but due to parallelism and/or next-links, may complete out of sequence.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public final var downloadOrder: Int { get set }

    public final var downloadPhase: Int { get set }

  • For offline scenarios, can separate download queries for this entity set have overlapping results? Defaults to false. Used by CloudSyncProvider.createDownloadQuery and CloudSyncProvider.deleteDownloadQuery to enable tracking of downloaded keys in association with download queries, which ensures appropriate deletion of unreferenced entities when one of an overlapping set of download queries is deleted.

    See also

    OfflineDataService.downloadQueriesCanOverlap.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public final var downloadQueriesCanOverlap: Bool { get set }

  • For offline scenarios, should streams in this entity set be downloaded by default? Defaults to true. See OfflineDataService.noDefaultStreamDownload.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public final var downloadStreamsByDefault: Bool { get set }

  • For offline scenarios, will the client ignore a delta links in responses to change tracking queries for this entity set? Defaults to false. If this property is set to true, then download requests to the backend service are expected to return all relevant data (as opposed to returning just changed data), in which case the effective changes will be determined on the client side, and applied to the local database as needed. For large data sets, client-side change determination can result in high client-side CPU, memory, and network utilization. It is recommended to use delta-enabled backend services when working with large data sets, instead of setting this property to true. If you are considering setting this property to true, please evaluate the client-side resource utilization, and consider the alternative option of delta-enabling the backend system.
