ArcPad 10 Photo Check In Problem

DurpheyClifton

I am having a problem when checking in an arcpad AXF file that I have stored photos with. During the checkout I specify a share folder on our network that I want to store the photos I am taking in the field (\\servername\Photos). However, during the check in process the photos are not copied to the share folder I specified during the check out.

I have upgraded ArcGIS 10 and ArcPad 10 to the latest service packs. I have tried the check out/check in process with both the ArcPad Data Manager and the Trimble GPS Analyst (v2.40 w/ updates) but have not successfully had the photos copy to the share folder. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Chris,

I have tried to replicate your problem, but every time I check my edits in, my photos are copied to the folder specified at check-out without any issues...

Could you please provide some more detailed information about your workflow? Maybe then we can figure this out for you & anyone else who may be experiencing similar (mis)behavior...

Thanks,

Hannah,

Thanks for responding first off. Here's a description of the workflow I am using:

I am working with the new Geo6000 XT unit with the latest service pack of ArcPad. I double checked to make sure that all service packs for ArcGIS have been installed as well as any updates to Trimble GPS Analyst.

1) Pull data into arcmap and save an mxd in a project folder on the server we work off of.

2) I then use the Trimble GPS Analyst Extension to check out an arcpad data. During the arcpad checkout I have specified either a share folder on our project server or a local folder on my C: Drive (Neither of which I have gotten to work yet). I also made sure that my picture field was set to the attribute that will hold the hyperlink (PictureHyperlink). I made sure that the field has plenty of length to hold the hyperlink text.

3) I start a GPS session and then collect a point with GPS (representing a street sign in my case). After filling in the necessary attributes on my custom form I then select the picture tab. Then I take a picture making sure that the attribute "PictureHyperlink" (the field I'd like to store the hyperlinks in) is selected in the combo box.

4) After that I stop editing and save my map. I then come back in the office and proceed to check in my ArcPad file finding that the pictures I have taken reside in my ArcPad project folder but will not transfer to the folder I specified during the checkout.

Does anything I'm doing look out of sorts? Thanks again for any input.

Looks like ESRI really dropped the ball on this one...anybody else have an idea?

I'm having this exact same problem. Has anyone come up with a solution?

I am using ArcGIS 10.1 SP1 for desktop (Build 3143) Advanced and ArcPad Evaluation Mode -10.0 R4 (Build 4).
I'm not using any mobile device, only PC. Data is ArcPad sample data found in C:\Users\Public\Documents\ArcPad\Samples\Elmore which I stored in MS SQL server database.

Using workflow specified in resources.arcgis.com -
1st I use "Get Data For ArcPad" to build .AXF file (and specifying shared pictures folder in the process).
2nd I open .AXF file using ArcPad and add some JPEG photos to the Elmore "Land_use"
3rd in ArcMap I used "Get Data from ArcPad" but files were not copied to the defined picture folder. Images field in the attribute table were linked to the original source of the photo's. Why is this happening? I tried all kinds of workflow variations but results are always the same...photos are never copied to the specified pictures folder.

OK, so in my case the problem was that I used a full path to the pictures folder (e.g. C:\SharedFolder\Pictures).
It works now that I changed it to UNC (e.g. \\ComputerName\SharedFolder\Pictures).

Since it is written in the resources.arcgis.com that "The path may also be a UNC share." I thought it can also be a full path, but it seems it cannot (at least not in my case).

So I was wrong apparently, it worked because I used it on a different PC. So I have now 2 identical versions of ArcGIS desktop with identical version of ArcPad working on the same data stored on the MS SQL server connected through ArcSDE. And one copies data to the defined destination, and the other is not.

The problem is in the "Get data for ArcPad" step, because as I create .axf file on a PC on which photo is copied successfully and edited and checked in using "Get data from ArcPad" on a PC on which normaly copying didn't worked - now with a axf file from other PC it worked like magic.

So the problem is in the ArcMap's "Get data for ArcPad".

Hannah Ferrier Denise King Its worth noting that this won't work using the select picture functionality. If you create a photo it will store just the photo name as ArcPad is dealing with relative referencing. If you pick a photo is stores the directory and name. This doesn't get resolved on check in.
