We have had two field crews whose "Post Updates" has failed. The project only has one editable feature class / service. I have tried to pull the project file off the problem laptops and use my own ArcGIS Mobile install to try and post their data with the same result. So what I am left with is around 100 edits that I need to get into SDE.... Is there a suggested method to try and recover the data? Thanks Windows XP ArcGIS Mobile 10 build 2500 (hotfix applied to solve exessive time to sync data)

Just an update, we ended up working with ESRI Canada support and ESRI to get a hotfix which we have implemented and thoroughly tested. This hotfix has solved the issue, posting updates takes seconds now.

I appreciate the feedback. Testing this further this morning we have found that connecting directly to the Feature Class in SDE and then building the queries we need in AGX off of that layer we can refresh the results successfully. While not as fast as using the map service it gives us what we need, that being an up to date picture of edits coming in from the field. With that said I will give this a try as well. Thanks again for the quick responses.

Based on our situation and the time lines on our Pilot Project a better question would be, is there an actual workaround to this issue? I have tried clearing the caches of my queries under "Manage Layers", I have also deleted all Caches under "ArcGIS Explorer Options --> Advanced --> Cache Management". No matter what I do I cannot get ArcGIS Explorer to reflect edits that have been made to the SDE feature class unless I recreate all the queries again from scratch. I my case the data source I am querying in ArcGIS Explorer is an ArcGIS Server Map Service (v10). Queries are very simple and results are very effective....I just need them to update without recreating the queries over and over to see the latest edits from the field.

Do you folks have a rough timeline for the release that you are able to share? And thanks for the quick response!!

Is there a patch for this bug? We started using AGX in a Pilot Project last week because it was the perfect tool and just discovered this issue....bit of a show stopper. Thx.

Completely agree. As a utility that covers a very large geographic area the data we are updating in the field consists of very large numbers of features (500,000 - 800,000). Since field crews may assist each other with inspections, etc it becomes important for them to have all the data and know what features have been inspected, etc. Synchronizing a large number of features quickly and efficiently is key because of low bandwidth connections, the same goes for getting the changes. Replacing the entire dataset each time is not the ideal scenerio. Changes only is a must for the success of this application in our environment.

How does one go about running the MobileCacheTool 10.0 found here and mentioned by Denise in her post? http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html...b962e6225ebd2d I found an .exe in the bin folder but get an error when I try to run it: "mobileCache2Shape10.0 has encountered a problem and needs to close....." Are there any system prerequisites to run the tool, etc. I have an ArcGIS Mobile 10 project with 4 days of data collected, for some reason when the consultant using it opened it this morning it said the project was corrupt. I am hoping this tool will let me retrieve the 4 days of work :p.

We have tested our laptop using wireless and wired connections to our network, as mentioned it performs well in both cases when posting updates. The Juno can only connect to our network via a wireless connection. As mentioned the only time it struggles to post an update is when we have all 500,000 features in our editable feature class downloaded. We are not using the mobile map cache, we connect to the Mobile project on our server and download the data, it is also our only operational layer in the app. For our base map we are actually using an ArcGIS Server Cache which works really well.

We are in the process of testing ArcGIS Mobile for some of our field activites. To do this we are using ArcGIS Mobile v10 build 2475 and both out-of-the-box Windows and Windows Mobile OS clients. We are connecting to ArcGIS Server Adv Enterprise v10 SP1. The feature class we are editing is large: 500,000 features (lines). Despite the FC size the application still performs well in both Windows XP and Windows Mobile environments since most display and editing is done at a large scale. The issue we are having relates to posting the updates from the Windows Mobile client (running on a Trimble Juno SC) via a wireless connection to our network. Testing: - When we edit one feature's attributes and post the change from the Windows XP client via a wireless connection with all 500,000 features having been downloaded prior....the process takes 3 seconds. - When we edit one feature's attributes and post the change from the Windows Mobile client on the Trimble via a wireless connection with all 500,000 features having been downloaded prior....the process takes 40 min. - When we edit one feature's attributes and post the change from the Windows Mobile client on the Trimble via a wireless connection with only a small subset of features (8km around current location) having been downloaded prior....the process takes 3-4 seconds. We are trying to figure out why the Mobile application running on the Trimble takes so long to post one change only when we have the 500,000 features downloaded on the device. As we understand the synchronization process, only the changes are posted to the server. For this solution to work the field users/ contractors need the complete dataset loaded (500,000 features) but will only be updating a few features per day depending on where they are working. Any insight as to what might be causing the excessive amount of time to synchronize one attribute change to the server would be helpful so we can figure out our next steps in this trial.

I guess I will throw the wrench into the picture here...I am using 2D with a Web Mercator projection. I have also experienced the same issue when using a more local UTM coordinate system as well. In the latest example attached, using a newly published dynamic ArcGIS Server map service on top of the World Topography service from ESRI it appears that two tiles weren't rendered before being cached on the fly by AGX. On either side of this scale (zoom out, zoom in) the labels and boundary look fine, but once the tiles have been generated there is no going back (except to delete the cache from AGX and try again). I might try to log this as a bug. The weird thing is this isn't consistent, sometimes everything works just fine and then other times you see results like this....

I was wondering if you ever got this resolved or figured it out? I have created a few custom locators specific to our requirements and I cannot find an easy way to add them as a GIS Service or Analysis Tool?? Like you I can find no documentation on adding your own locators to AGX 1200. I wonder if the only option is to build a custom Add-in? Thanks Dave

I am not sure if my issue is exactly the same as yours but I thought I would add to your thread. I am experiencing what could be described as patchy rendering of linear features using build 1200. Using a single source of data I get varying results depending on how it is accessed. For example: Dynamic Map Service - patchy rendering with portions of the line not showing up at various scales Layer File - patchy rendering as well at various scales, but not as bad as the Dynamic Map service Connection to SDE - renders fine at any scale Even when i force AGX to go out and get data by panning and zooming beyond what it seems to be cached, it still fails to return the entire feature within the view extent. This is especially annoying right now because I am trying record a demo for a presentation. I have attached a screen shot of my issue....incase anyone has a suggestion.

Nevermind.....I answered my own question. To allocate service providers to ArcGIS Server Image Services that are created from the iscdef files on your image server you simply edit the ImageServer.Services file in Notepad or an XML editor. The file can be found here: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\ESRI\Image Server\Server This file lists all services running on the Image Server and also provides a tag for <ServiceProviders> which you can populate with the names of the Service Providers you want to allocate to specific services. I edited this file and saved the changes when the Image Server was stopped, once restarted the changes were implemented and my ArcGIS Server Image Services were assigned to a specific Service Provider.
