When your users need to carry geodatabase data into the field with them beyond the reach of high-speed networks, ArcFM Mobile offers a solution. ArcFM Mobile is comprised of two processes:
- ArcFM Replication, which provides each field machine with a personal geodatabase extracted from the enterprise geodatabase, tailored to include only the feature classes and geographic extents that that machine's users require. Users can download geodatabase updates manually or schedule them for times when the field machine will be connected to the network. ArcFM Replication can support many different field user interfaces, including standard ArcFM, Designer, ArcFM Viewer for ArcGIS Engine, Redliner, and Inspector.
- ArcFM Send/Receive, which allows the transmission of sets of redline graphics (and in some cases feature edits) between users. Send/Receive supports standard ArcFM, Designer, Redliner, and Inspector.
As both the geodatabase and one or more servers must be configured to support the chosen interface and processes, determining and implementing the best ArcFM Mobile settings can be challenging. To successfully complete this process, make use of the step-by-step checklists provided below:
- Mobile Checklist A: Install software and licenses, do initial geodatabase configuration
- Mobile Checklist B: Generate the personal geodatabase(s), configure the servers and one test field machine for ArcFM Replication
- Mobile Checklist C: Configure servers and one test field machine for ArcFM Send/Receive
- Mobile Checklist D: Configure all remaining field machines
Consult the Mobile Checklist Readme for a diagram showing which configuration components are included in each checklist.
