ArcGIS Mobile Build 2500 Released!

On June 10, 2011, in Developer, Mobile, by Jeff Shaner

The Mobile Team has released another update to ArcGIS Mobile 10.0 called “Build 2500″. It has a number of stability improvements and enhancements across the client applications, SDK and the Geoprocessing Tools. You can download build 2500 now from the Esri Customer Care Portal. Look for “ArcGIS Mobile 10 (Build 2500)”.

This update includes resolution on 14 Nimbus incidents:

  • NIM065266 - within both the ArcGIS Mobile applications and SDK the auto-detect feature will now search for GPS devices transmitting at a baud rate higher than 9600.
  • NIM065267within both the ArcGIS Mobile applications and SDK, we now support GNSS sentences from other systems (GLONASS). This improves upon the fix time and precision of GPS positions received within ArcGIS Mobile.
  • NIM064957 translation of the ArcGIS Mobile applications to certain languages was not supported due to a dependency on MUI. This dependency has been removed.
  • NIM064309 when synchronizing edits with large datasets, we have dramatically improved synchronization performance (minutes to seconds).
  • NIM062051it is now possible to create a python script to schedule the creation and synchronization of mobile caches without the need to run that script using ArcCatalog or ArcMap.
  • NIM065514when creating a mobile project that contained both a tile cache and mobile service or mobile cache, often the Mobile Project Center application would crash. This would occur if the full extent of the tile cache was quite large and the extent of the mobile service or mobile cache was quite small.
  • NIM064851the Create Mobile Map Geoprocessing Tool would fail to succeed when creating mobile caches for large numbers of features.
  • NIM060664the Mobile Geoprocessing Tools are now supported on 64-bit operating systems.
  • NIM066717composing a project on Windows XP or Windows Vista would fail when adding certain ArcGIS Server Tile Caches as base map layers.
  • NIM066723we have improved security when logging into ArcGIS Online to discover the list of mobile projects inside of your account, the ArcGIS Mobile applications were using HTTP instead of HTTPS when generating a token. They are now using HTTPS exclusively.
  • NIM066500opening a project with the field crew logging/sign in capabilities presents an option to create a New User. Prior to this fix it was possible to create more than one user with the same name. With this fix, you will not be allowed to create more than one user with the same name.
  • NIM066501using the field crew logging capability you are asked to “Sign In”. By default, the highlighted user is “New User”. If you simply tapped on “New User” it would create a user with the name “New User” automatically. Tapping ok will now take you directly to the New User sign up page.
  • NIM066324 – the list of user names to “Sign In” as when using the Sign In capability listed each user based upon their Object ID. It now sorts the list of users alphabetically.
  • NIM065186in certain circumstances, when synchronization with the server fails (lost connection with the server for example) duplicate records may appear inside of the client side mobile cache.

The Mobile team is committed to improving the quality and capabilities of ArcGIS Mobile 10.0 technology as well as building ArcGIS Mobile 10.1. Each new 10.0 release is an update to your existing install – you do not need to uninstall the previous install before updating.

We look forward to hearing your feedback!
