Packaging for Runtime

MatthewKnight — Wed, 10 Aug 2011 17:32:33 GMT

I installed Desktop Beta 1, however when creating map packages I do not see the option to create packages that have Runtime Support enabled (something I have seen demonstrated).

Packages I created are not loading as LocalArcgisDynamicMapServiceLayers.

Hi,

Sounds like it's just a case of switching on ArcGIS Runtime support in the ArcMap options:

1. Click Customize > ArcMap Options...
2. Select the Sharing tab
3. Under Packaging, check the box to "Enable ArcGIS Runtime Tools".

Cheers

Mike

Thank you, that fixed the problem!

But now a new one: is there a plan to include support for packaging mosaic layers? Inability to use mosaic datasets in runtime would be very disappointing.

Hi,

There are two elements to this:

(1) Basic mosaic dataset support within the existing local map service = we hope to support this in the first release at 10.1 (but unfortunately cannot guarantee it at this time).

(2) Providing local image service support (for which the source may be a mosaic dataset) = we aim to support these in an off-cycle release some time after the first release.

Unfortunately I can't be more specific at present.

Cheers

Mike
