Map Package - General Function Failure

[MikeBly]

Hi All,

I am attempting to create an mpk in 10.3.1. I have done several of these, however the current one is just giving me a general function error. Data is SDE base, FGDB, and SHP (folder based). I have removed all raster datasets, shortened the file name of the mxd and output, analyze gives me no returns, ensured that all group layers have no spaces are restricted characters, put in layer descriptions for all.

Cannot get it to package... Any thoughts as to why? Gotta be something simple that I am missing. I have even tried on older version of Desktop, 10.0 and 10.1, same result.

Thanks,.

Mike

In 10.5 I had to remove the imagery from the mxd and then the mpk processed.

I got this error recently.  For me the problem was some QGIS geopackages I had loaded in ArcMap.  I removed these files (reloaded them as a shp).

Chiming in here as I was only having this process work about 15% of the time.

EDIT - I just spoke with ESRI support and we identified the issue. I use a vector tile topographic basemap for my offline maps and I was using the "Map" tab --> "Download map" button to download the vector tile imagery to a local .vtpk to prepare it for offline use. However, it was also converting ALL my online-only content to local geodatabase files! For example, after downloading the map, I would expect to see the source pointing to my hosted view layer in AGOL, but I'd see something like this instead:

C:\Users\MyName\OneDrive - Government\Documents\LargeMammal\My_feature_view_7F6EHD74JDG7J8TDTJD1A1.geodatabase

Once I deleted those local files and dragged in the appropriate view layers from AGOL, the process worked properly. I was selecting "reference online content" so that viewers would see updates to hosted feature classes in their maps.

 I had luck doing the following:

• Close and re-open ArcGIS Pro.
• Create a new project with a new default .gdb
• Download the offline areas from my map as a .vtpk using the "Download map" button BEFORE adding any other layers to the map
• If you have any local layers that need to be included in the offline map, export those layers to the default geodatabase that’s created with your new project. Make sure they are all in WGS 84 auxilliary sphere, or the same as the map tile package (I'm using them in Quick Capture)
• Now add any hosted view layers you want included.
• Now create your mobile map package using the share tab.

I suppose if you wanted to do this again you could download the basemap .vtpk from another map tab and then add the downloaded file to the map with all your local and online layers.
