Did any of you find a solution to this problem of checking in data to ArcPad? Or did you just give up on ArcPad? ... View more

This will probably not happen.  I am not an ESRI employee.  However, this is my assessment of the current situation. At this point ESRI has basically put ArcMap and ArcCatalog out to pasture.  They will still be supported and bugs fixed for some years to come, but, most likely, no new features will be added.  In fact, in the current ESRI road-show/seminar, only ArcGIS Pro, Server and Online are on the agenda.  ArcMap and ArcCatalog are not even mentioned. If you want a new feature, see if it's in Pro.  If it's not there, create an idea for it to be added to Pro here in ArcGIS Ideas. ... View more

I believe that Pro interacts with portals, either ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Portal.  ArcGIS Portal is part of ArcGIS Enterprise as it's now called, formerly ArcGIS Server.  To publish a map service you first connect to a portal, either Online or Portal.  Then you share a map as a service through that portal.  This appears to be how you create a map service on ArcGIS "Server" as we've been used to calling it.  So it can be done.  If you want to publish to your own servers, you must first install ArcGIS Portal onto your ArcGIS Server/Enterprise machine, if you haven't done that already.  Then you can connect with Pro and create a map service.  I haven't done this yet, myself, but this is my current understanding after seeing the ESRI ArcGIS travelling seminar today.  Please correct me if I'm wrong about this. ...

Is this blog post the place where we come to find the ArcGIS Pro Roadmap, or is there another web page that is the permanent home?  It would be good to have a permanent link to the roadmap off of the Pro web page that you gave, above, so that visitors to that page can see right away what the future holds. ...

Thanks Maribeth.  If you're dealing with novice students and you want to restrict their ability to do certain activities, then putting them into a straight-jacket or confined environment that obstructs their ability to do certain things might be useful.  Like training wheels. However, when you're talking about experienced, professional Geospatial DBA's and power-user GIS specialists whose primary job is managing and manipulating data as efficiently and quickly as possible, then that straight-jacket slows down the work process and costs money through reduced productivity.  That's the capability that hasn't been revealed in Pro, as of yet. ...
