is it an *.mmpk file?

Is there are a whole load of conditions regarding what can and cannot be included and their original source locations and their coordinate systems. Have you checked the list?

Yes it is an mmpk file, i only need to include feature layer data with symbology so i am using

arcpy.management.CreateMobileMapPackage("MMPKMap", r"d:\test\MobileMapPackage1.mmpk") to create mmpk file, i even tried with gp tool Create mobile package but results were same i.e. esclaimation mark (Click to repair datasource). According to my understanding data will be copied to the mmpk file is it correct , because i think it s saving the reference?

Give an example of the *.mapx files that you have created as in the example in the link I sent. I suspect you haven't got the 'map' files correct. See the example and the other links like 'consolidate map' to prepare your data. You inputs should look like this

outputfile = "d:/Data/Output/sandiego.mmpk"

arcpy.management.CreateMobileMapPackage(r"C:\data\Basemap1.mapx;C:\data\Map1.mapx", outputfile, None, r"\\share\layers\AreaOfInterest

As mentioned above i am using

arcpy.management.CreateMobileMapPackage("MMPKMap", r"d:\test\MobileMapPackage1.mmpk") in which i am giving it map name and i do not think there is any need to provide AreaOfInterest as i already applied definition expression to layers

See the example and the other links like 'consolidate map' to prepare your data.

So according to this mmpk tool does not automatically copy data from database you have first export it in file geodatabase and then run this tool?

i am using example 1

arcpy.management.CreateMobileMapPackage("Basemap1;Basemap2;Map1", r"d:\temp\MobileMapPackage1.mmpk", r"d:\data\MyLocators\AddressLocator.loc", None, "DEFAULT", "SELECT", "Title", "Summary", "description", "Tag", "Credit information", "Usage_Limitations")

In this it need map name not mapx file name

OK after consolidating the map its working now thanks, So the procedure was add data from feature layer(sql server)

then consolidate the map then run CreateMobileMapPackage on mapx generated by consolidation map tool

Yes... as the help link showed, the *.mapx files are needed first..

arcpy.management.CreateMobileMapPackage(r"C:\data\Basemap1.mapx;C:\data\Map1.mapx", .......
