Create Mobile Cache (Mobile)
Summary
This tool creates a mobile cache with a map schema and GIS data for Mobile Project Center (MPC), a component of the ArcGIS for Windows Mobile product, to build a mobile project. Using the map document's current full extent, this tool generates a mobile cache from an input map document. The output is a folder using the map document name as its folder name, a mobile cache containing a map schema, the GIS data, and associated attachments folder (if available).
Usage
The tool is available for use only with the Microsoft Windows operating system.
-
By default, this tool generates a mobile cache for all layers within a map document, but only vector layers with global ID based on ArcSDE or file geodatabase data sources can be synchronized between ArcGIS for Windows Mobile field applications and the data source.
-
The output folder must exist prior to tool execution.
By default, the tool creates a mobile cache folder including a map schema, the GIS data, and attachments (if available).
-
By default, the extracted extent is based on the map document's full map extent.
-
By default, all layers are extracted into the mobile cache.
Legacy:At version 10.0 this tool was named Create Mobile Map. Parameters have also changed at version 10.1. Scripts and models based on the 10.0 tool will need to be modified to work in 10.1.

Code Sample
Create a mobile cache from a map document with all data and attachments.
import arcpy
arcpy.CreateMobileCache_mobile("C:/CampusMap/Campus.mxd","C:/CampusMap/MobileMap","#","#","#")
Generate a mobile cache with attachments from the selected layers contained within a map document.
import arceditor
import arcpy
Campus_mxd = "C:\\CampusMap\\Campus.mxd"
MobileMap = "C:\\CampusMap\\MobileMap"
arcpy.CreateMobileCache_mobile(Campus_mxd, MobileMap, "PointAttachmentAtCache;LineAttachmentAtCache;PolygonAttachmentAtCache;PointWithoutAttachmentAtCache;LineWithoutAttachmentAtCache;PolygonWithoutAttachmentAtCache;PointWithoutGlobalIDAtCache", "INCLUDE_ATTACHMENTS", "")
