WaterGEMS CONNECT will automatically update the GEMS datastore to reflect changes made to a hydraulic model in ArcCatalog or ArcMap. To synchronize the datastore and the geodatabase manually, click the File\Synchronize…GEMS Hydraulic Model.

In ArcMap, certain operations can be performed outside of an edit session. For instance, the Calculate command can be applied to perform a global edit within an ArcMap table. When this happens, WaterGEMS CONNECT cannot “see” that changes have been made, so a manual synchronization must be initiated as outlined above.
