  • Chapter 2: the Arcgis Server Architecture
    The ArcGIS Server 2 architecture ArcGIS Server is an object server for ArcObjects. The ArcGIS Server software system is distributed across multiple machines. Each aspect of ArcGIS Server plays a role in managing GIS functionality and data and making that functionality useful to end users. This chapter provides an overview of the ArcGIS software architecture and details of the ArcGIS Server architecture, specifically the various aspects of the server and how they interact, including: • the role of the GIS server • the server object manager • server object containers • GIS server objects • the Web application server Chapter2.pmd 27 10/12/2004, 4:01 PM ARCGIS SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE Before discussing the details of the ArcGIS Server architecture, it’s important to discuss the ArcGIS system architecture as a whole. The ArcGIS architecture has evolved over several releases of the technology to be a modular, scalable, cross- platform architecture implemented by a set of software components called ArcObjects. This section focuses on the main themes of this evolution at ArcGIS 9 and introduces the reader to the libraries that compose the ArcGIS system. The ArcGIS software architecture supports a number of products, each with its unique set of requirements. ArcObjects components, which make up ArcGIS, are designed and built to support this. This chapter introduces ArcObjects. ArcObjects is a set of platform-independent software components, written in C++, that provides services to support GIS applications on the desktop in the form of thick and thin clients and on the server. For a detailed explanation of COM see the As stated, the language chosen to develop ArcObjects was C++; in addition to Microsoft COM section of Appendix D, this language, ArcObjects makes use of the Microsoft Component Object Model.

  • GIS Migration Plan
    Dane County Land Information Office July 2003 Dane County Enterprise GIS Migration Plan The Dane County Land Information Office is committed to the development of GIS technology to aid in the delivery of information and services to county departments, communities, and the residents of our county. As part of our ongoing efforts to develop a robust and efficient GIS infrastructure, the Land Information Office has begun a project to migrate to a next generation geographic information system. Workplan activities include an upgrade of the technical infrastructure (hardware and software), implementation of new ESRI GIS products, a review and re-modeling of enterprise GIS datasets, workflow analysis and process changes to maximize service delivery and staff efficiencies. This plan summarizes migration activities to-date, as well as outlining a workplan to complete the remaining tasks. ESRI's next generation product line revolves around three primary products: ArcGIS, ArcSDE and ArcIMS. ArcGIS and its related extensions and modules comprise the desktop GIS software suite. ArcSDE supports spatial and tabular database integration. ArcIMS supports the delivery of web-based geographic information and map services. The Dane County ArcGIS migration project includes converting current ArcInfo users to the ArcGIS product. The longer term goal will be to move the viewing, printing, and basic GIS operation users to ArcIMS applications that can be run from a browser or thin client. Current ArcView 3.2 users will be migrated to either thin client ArcIMS applications or ArcGIS 8.x software. All applications will utilize geographic information stored in ArcSDE. Training requirements will be focused on technical staff to build and maintain applications with user friendly tools to minimize intense end user training.

In other words, GIS is a computerized data management system designed to store, manipulate, update, and output geographically- referenced spatial data. In addition to producing basic maps (quickly, accurately, and update-to-date), GIS software nowadays are capable of performing basic to advanced analysis, varying from measuring distances, perimeters, and areas to dealing with proximity, connectivity, and containment as well as networking, buffering (flood zones, address notification), line of site (slope), and spatial analysis. Thus, GIS is capable of numerous tasks including (but not limited) to the following: ● Input and update spatial and attribute (e.g., plot owner) data. ● Combine data from different sources. ● Link spatial data with attribute data.

  • For Arcview 8, Arceditor 8, and Arcinfo 8
    Introduction to ArcGIS I (for ArcView 8, ArcEditor 8, and ArcInfo 8) Introduction 1-1 Course objectives This course will introduce you to ArcGIS and provide the foundation for you to become a successful ArcView, ArcEditor, or ArcInfo user. You will learn how to use ArcMap, ArcCatalog, and ArcToolbox and explore how these applications work together to provide a complete GIS software solution. The course covers fundamental GIS concepts as well as how to create, edit, and work with georeferenced spatial data. You will learn how to manipulate tabular data, query a GIS database, and present data clearly and efficiently using maps and charts. This course covers a variety of topics but may not include specific tools or concepts used in your applications. If you have questions about particular functionality that does not appear to be covered by this class, feel free to ask your instructor. Introduction to ArcGIS I (for ArcView 8, ArcEditor 8, and ArcInfo 8) Introduction 1-2 ArcGIS is the name used to identify ESRI’s flagship family of GIS products. ArcGIS includes client software, server software, and data components. ArcGIS itself is not a GIS application; rather, it is a system of software products, each servicing a specific need. Software products and applications When someone purchases an ArcGIS system, they license software products which include one or more software applications. Understanding the difference between products and applications is important in understanding how ArcGIS is structured, and how the topics covered in this training class relate to the system as a whole. For example, one group may license the ArcView software product, which includes the ArcMap, ArcCatalog, and ArcToolbox applications.
