Publish and view mxd documents in ArcGIS Online.

[Neutravo]

Hi. We are testers of the AGO for organizations beta, and we have two simple questions about viewing mxd documents in ArcGIS Online. Let's go:

1º - Is it possible to view in the map the uploaded .mxd document without having ArcGIS Server?

2º - Is it possible to upload GDB's?

We think the answer is 'no' for both questions, but we just want to be sure of that.

Thanks.

Essentially, you publish your data from ArcMap. From the File menu, there's a Share As option. You want to share as a service. When you're logged in with a username that is part of the organization, you'll be able to publish to your organization. You can create a hosted feature or tiled map service. There really isn't a way to publish a GDB directly.

Thanks,

Mike

Thanks for the answer. I could to confirm the impossibility of publishing GDB's, but I wanted to be sure.

Mike,

Any chance you speak to whether there are plans to add some way to store a GDB on ArcGIS Subscriptions to add/update/delete database transactions via ArcGIS online?

Eric,

There are no plans at this time to support publishing geodatabases.

Mike,

I'm sure there could be many reasons this is not currently being considered but having this or something similar seems to be a heavily requested item on the ideas.arcgis.com site. I currently see 4 related ideas on this that when combined add up to 620 points. That would currently put it in a tie for 3rd place of top idea requests for ArcGIS online that are not already flagged as under consideration or deferred.
