Mobile Project Center Credentials Problem

SimonMorgan — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 12:06:26 GMT

When trying to save a new project to a server at beta 2, I get a credentials screen as shown in the image. I enter credentials and click okay and nothing happens. The okay changes from green to black to green again but no error message and it has not created the project on the server.

Same here

I can verify that the same thing happens on my installation, so you're not alone. If you find a solution, please pass it along.

It sounds like it is a bug, waiting for a workaround.

This work flow seems to get around the bug, you just have to load th emobile device manually as opposed to using the server download.

1. Create Project in project Center
2. Click the button in top left
3. Click Export Mobile Project (this creates a .amp file)
4. Save the .amp file to my local drive
5. using active sync, open explore device
6. Navigate to Documents\ArcGIS Mobile
7. Created a folder with the same name as the .amp file without the .amp
8. Copied the .amp file to that folder
9. Opened ArcGIS Mobile - it successfully opened the project

Workaround works

Great workaround! It seemed to work on my mobile device as well. Hopefully ESRI will respond to this thread with an update as they work on this issue.
