I got it to work.  The external MUST be linked to a cascading select (above it just says designed).  But I am not seeing a seperate csv sheet uploaded.  I was hoping to link to one central pick list for multiple forms.  It seems that if I have a pick list common to all forms and I wanted to add an item I would have to add this item to each form one by one and republish each one.  Then have the users redownload each form one by one.  Please tell me I am wrong because this is extremely clunky. It may work that I can just copy and paste the itemsets.csv to each form directory but i would then still have to republish each form and have each user redownload. It would be really nice to have the list link to a URL of a table on AGO.  That way I just update in one place. ... View more

When I try to add a external list it just keeps saying it can not find the list in the choices sheet.  Not sure what else to try.  I have 1.1.19. Anything else I can try? thanks ... View more

Not sure if I can post that here but you have no PM info in your profile so....  It is MobileMap by Mason Bruce & Girard - talk to Kerry Halligan he is the developer (they are a Esri partner and it does use the Esri API). If you go with it let me know and maybe I can share some of the scripts I use to build all the TPKs each weekend.  I have 4 or 5 open Esri bugs on the TPK tools so I can help with the tricks needed. ...

We are using a Android app by a vendor that uses TPK files on a SD card allowing us to take very large areas offline (3 million+ acres down to L16).  We have no performance issues at all running 30+GB of caches/TPKs - 12+ unzipped caches and 80+ TPK files.  Some tpks are 600+MB and still no issue.   We also can put any shp files we want on.  We do unzip that larger TPKs for the imagery (3+gb) since it can get slow but other than that it is as fast as we can pan on Tab 4 and newer.  I ran a high res test last week and was running a 16GB imagery cache no problem.  We have had it running for over 2 years on tablets as old as Samsung Tab 2s.  We go buy the faster SD cards. I did a lot of performance testing on internal and SDcards for our app.  I found the speed to be the same on a SD card if not faster (maybe because the app is local splitting the load).  So I am always very surprised when I hear Esri say this.  It has been our main reason for not using collector.  I wish they would open it up and let us at least try it. ...

Try using ArcRest.  It gives you a full replica copy locally in a GDB including attachments.  It has been working great for me until I hit 33,000+ records.  I have a ticket open on it. I assume it will do tables also but not sure. Download ArcREST and install it.  Then here is the simple code. Python code from arcrest.security import AGOLTokenSecurityHandler from arcrest.agol import FeatureService from arcrest.common.filters import LayerDefinitionFilter import arcpy import datetime # Set these based on your FS and credentials username = "" password = "" url = "http://services2.arcgis.com/as3H1x8rqlUMyL6s/ArcGIS/rest/services/ETC..." outDir = r"C:\temp" #Get a local replica of the HFS  note set layers properly proxy_port = None proxy_url = None #_defaultTokenExpiration = 60 #Minutes agolSH = AGOLTokenSecurityHandler(username=username,password=password) fs = FeatureService(url=url,securityHandler=agolSH,proxy_port=proxy_port,proxy_url=proxy_url,initialize=True) result = fs.createReplica(replicaName='Demo', layers='0,1,2,3,4', keep_replica=False, layerQueries=None, geometryFilter=None, returnAttachments=True,returnAttachmentDatabyURL=False,returnAsFeatureClass=True, out_path=outDir) ...

I am pretty sure it is JSON being returned since 1.  I have ran this script 20+ times just fine when there were less records. 2.  I can take some of the layers out and it works fine.  It crashes between 33,517 and 34,178 records.  3.  I can also download any layer by itself with no issues so not a data issue. This does have definition queries in it which I noticed split the data into different layers when publishing to AGO then combines then back together when bringing down a replica.  Not sure if that matters but wanted to mention it. I also am not sure it is a timeout issue as it does not take very long to do all but one of the layers (which is just 661 records).  I can do any combination of layers 0-4 just not all of them at once.  If I go into AGO and ask for a JSON file the file I get is 66 MB.  Seems high since there are only 5 fields in each layer. Thanks a lot ... View more

You must be looking at the other guys code.  Mine is this. from arcrest.security import AGOLTokenSecurityHandler from arcrest.agol import FeatureService from arcrest.common.filters import LayerDefinitionFilter #Get a local replica of the HFS proxy_port = None proxy_url = None agolSH = AGOLTokenSecurityHandler(username=username,password=password) fs = FeatureService(url=url,securityHandler=agolSH,proxy_port=proxy_port,proxy_url=proxy_url,initialize=True) result = fs.createReplica(replicaName='Demo', layers='0,1,2,3', keep_replica=False, layerQueries=None, geometryFilter=None, returnAttachments=True,returnAttachmentDatabyURL=False,returnAsFeatureClass=True, out_path=outDir) ...

Thanks but where do I put this?  No idea where to add that. Opps thought this was from REST.  Here is the code where do I add that? #Get a local replica of the HFS proxy_port = None proxy_url = None agolSH = AGOLTokenSecurityHandler(username=username,password=password) fs = FeatureService(url=url,securityHandler=agolSH,proxy_port=proxy_port,proxy_url=proxy_url,initialize=True) result = fs.createReplica(replicaName='Demo', layers='0,1,2,3', keep_replica=False, layerQueries=None, geometryFilter=None, returnAttachments=True,returnAttachmentDatabyURL=False,returnAsFeatureClass=True, out_path=outDir) ...

I have the same issue.  At 10,000 features it worked great.  Not at 32,000 and it dies with the same error as you. ... View more

I do not see my question on here.  Will there ever be a way to export to a PDF that looks like a form.  This is a forms based app but there is no way to get a traditional looking form out.  With no way to send a copy of a form that was just signed via email is a huge stopper for us.  Every other forms solution out there has this.  Please consider it. ...

The issue is the extent of the cache is wrong in the xml - way bigger than the extent of the actual data.  So say you had one image in Oregon, Texas, and New York.  You set the AOI so that only tiles are built in those 3 areas not the entire country.  But the tool sets the extent of the whole country anyway.  Then when AGO sees the extent it guesses the number of tiles to be massive. Same basic thing with the export tool. The extents are not set correctly in the xml which causes all kinds of problems. In my case I am using the tools in ArcMap.  Not the server tools and not having AGO build the tiles.  I build the tpk then upload it. ... View more
