Add data from server in ArcPAD

[GideonDalrymple]

I am trying to add data from a ArcGIS server using ArcPAD using the "Add data from server" button. however It does not connect. 

Am I doing something wrong or missing a step?  Please help....

See Screen shot. attached.

I've got another issue now. THe arcpad version I was using to test this service was the evaluation 10.2 version however the actual tablets have Arcpad 10.0 installed. Will this work the same way?

One last question.. Which URL should I expose with my Web Domain in order to access this service externally when I check out data using the "Get data for arcpad" tool  then use the " Add feature service URL to AXF" in order to sync edits back to the server.? 

See : https://blogs.esri.com/esri/arcgis/2013/09/22/feature-service-sync-in-arcpad-10-2/  for the tutorial I am referring to.

Hi Gideon,

That's a good question. Whilst I told you to just supply the server URL (i.e. http://gis:6080) when doing an Add Data from Server, the URL you need to give for "Add feature service URL to AXF" is the deeper REST API for your feature service.

It would look something like: https://external/arcgis/rest/services/GIS_MAP/FeatureServer 

When you expose a Feature Service externally, it is up to you to choose the URLs and how they map to your internal server. e.g. you may say that https://external/arcgis/ maps to http://gis:6080/arcgis/ - it's really up to you (website administrator) to choose how much or how little of your Feature Service you want to expose.

Hey Stephen. I'm going to work on this first thing in the morning then I will reply to you.  Like I said before I have another big problem. The tablets I have using have Arcpad 10.0 which does not have the sync with feature service option. The type of options I am seeing that I can connect to are " arcgis online service" , " arcpad server arcpad service" and "arcims image service" . When I try to add the feature service although I could see it appear in the list when I try to add it to the map I think a window popped up either to Save an arcgis onljne file or open one. Away from the tablet now. I'll confirm first thing in the morning.

By the way thank you so much for your replies. I need to get this thing sorted out by the end of the week. What I'm ultimately trying to archieve is to be able to collect data from the field and have them synced back to the server at the same time.
