Publishing ArcPad data to ArcGIS Server

Publishing ArcPad data to ArcGIS Server enables you to synchronize ArcPad edits directly with the source geodatabase within ArcPad, either through your network or wireless connection.Manually copying of edited files from device to PC, for check in is not required.

This exercise makes use of a number of ESRI products, and it is assumed that all are installed and operational before you commence this exercise. The system requirements for this exercise are:

• ArcGIS Desktop 9.3 and ArcPad 8.0 installed on the same machine
• Permission to read and write to an SDE database that resides somewhere on your network
• Administrator permission to access to an ArcGIS Server 9.3 (Advanced Enterprise Edition) machine which has the ArcPad 8.0 ArcGIS Server Extension installed on it

This exercise is divided into four parts.

1. Preparing sample data for Publishing
2. Using the ArcPad Data manager to Author an ArcPad Project
3. Publishing an ArcPad Project
4. Deploying a Published ArcPad Project
