What's Coming in ArcGIS 9.3.1?

ArcGIS 9.3.1 creste performanta in ceea ce priveste procesul de publicare a hartilor interactive si de distribuire a informatiei geografice.

Performanta ridicata in publicarea de harti

• Servicii de cartografiere noi
  • Se pot realiza servicii echivalente ArcIMS.
  • Se imbunatateste semnificativ aspectul hartilor.
  • Timpul necesar incarcarii documentului de harta se micsoreaza.
• O noua bara de instrumente Map Service Publishing este disponibila in ArcMap si permite armonizarea documentelor de harta anterior publicarii acestora in ArcGIS Server.
  • Vizualizati si rezolvati probleme legate de aparitia unor erori, continut nesuportat, alerte asupra proceselor care pot sa incetineasca serviciile interactive de cartografiere.
  • Vizualizati documentul de harta si timpul estimat pentru interpretare.
  • Salvati documentul de harta intr-un format de definire a unui serviciu de harta (msd), ce urmeaza a fi optimizat pentru performanta in ArcGIS Server.

Distribuire mai buna a informatiei geografice

• Distribuire mai buna a layer-elor de harta
  • Layer-ele care referentiaza obiecte sau date de tip raster se pot reprezenta printr-un singur fisier.
  • Pachetele de layere pot fi distribuite mai multor utilizatori prin fisiere, e-mail, sau prin noile functionalitati de distribuire oferite de aplicatia ArcGIS Online.
  • ArcGIS Online permite
    • Incarcare de date si inregistrari la servicii online
    • Cautare in mediul Web a layer-elor de harta
    • Acesul si controlul layer-elor de catre diverse organizatii si grupuri.

Fast Access to Microsoft Virtual Earth Maps and Imagery

• Quickly start GIS projects with ready-to-use content.
  • Up-to-date multi-scale mapping content from Microsoft Virtual Earth includes aerial imagery, roads, and hybrid (aerial with labels) imagery.
  • Content (imagery, roads, and hybrid) appears as another data layer in GIS providing excellent background maps on which users can overlay their operational data.
  • ArcGIS Desktop and ArcGIS Server users directly connect to Microsoft Virtual Earth content via ArcGIS Online.
  • Clients can access Virtual Earth content from any Web applications built with ArcGIS Server and ArcGIS Server Web SDKs (including JavaScript, Flex, and Silverlight APIs).

Suport pentru dezvoltatorii in Java

• Posibilitatea de a extinde ArcGIS/ArcObjects Framework. Dezvoltatorii in Java vor avea posibilitatea sa creeze urmatoarele extensii in limba lor materna:
  • Instrumente personalizate de geoprocesare
  • Server object extensions (SOEs) si obiecte de functionalitate in ArcGIS Server
  • Extensii ale claselor pentru reguli personalizate de comportament al datelor in cadrul bazei de date spatiale
  • Instrumente de interpretare pentru interpretarea personalizata a datelor in cadrul aplicatiiilor ArcMap si ArcGIS Engine
  • Plug-in-uri
  • Layere personalizate
• Instrumente de identificare a erorilor si de dezvoltare a extensiilor pentru aplicatiile ArcGIS realizate in Java
• Suport pentru mediul integrat de dezvoltare, Eclipse (IDE)
  • Wizard-uri pentru generarea de coduri bazate pe specificatiile dezvoltatorilor
  • Caracteristici de autodistribuire

Instalare usoara

• Reactualizarea versiunii ArcGIS 9.3.1 nu necesita dezinstalarea vechii versiuni ArcGIS 9.3.
• Versiunea aduce noi posibilitati de lucru in medii mixte din ArcGIS 9.3 si ArcGIS 9.3.1 in cadrul aceleiasi organizatii, fara a fi modificate bazele de date spatiale, documentele de harta sau API-urile.

Disponibilitate

ArcGIS 9.3.1 este programat a fi disponibil in Q2 2009. ESRI va expedia automat ArcGIS 9.3.1 utilizatorilor sub mentenanta curenta.

Intrebari Frecvente

Do I need to uninstall ArcGIS 9.3 before I install ArcGIS 9.3.1?

No. ArcGIS 9.3.1 installs on top of ArcGIS 9.3.

I am still using ArcGIS 9.2. Do I need to install ArcGIS 9.3 before I install ArcGIS 9.3.1?

Customers who are current on maintenance will receive the ArcGIS 9.3.1 update install by default. In this case, you have two options:

1. Install ArcGIS 9.3 (which requires uninstalling previous versions of ArcGIS) before installing the ArcGIS 9.3.1 update.
2. Request the ArcGIS 9.3.1 complete install (includes ArcGIS 9.3 and ArcGIS 9.3.1 on one installation media) from service@esri.com or visit service.esri.com for more information.

Is the Microsoft Virtual Earth content free to ArcGIS users?

ArcGIS Desktop users who are current on maintenance will be able to access Microsoft Virtual Earth at no additional cost. This access comes with an annual transaction cap that will be enough to meet the needs of most users. However, users who need more can purchase an annual subscription to the Virtual Earth service that has no transaction limitation.

ArcGIS Server users will be able to easily access a built-in free 90 watermarked evaluation of Microsoft Virtual Earth that can be leveraged with the .NET ADF, and JavaScript, Flex and Silverlight APIs. After the evaluation period, ArcGIS users can purchase an annual subscription.

ArcGIS Explorer users who have an existing ArcGIS Desktop license on the same machine as ArcGIS Explorer can use the Microsoft Virtual Earth content at no additional cost. ArcGIS Explorer users that do not have an ArcGIS desktop license can evaluate Microsoft Virtual Earth for 90 days (watermarked), and then purchase an unlimited use subscription.

What makes dynamic map services faster in ArcGIS 9.3.1?

We have worked on several major areas in ArcGIS 9.3.1 to improve the performance of dynamic map services. First of all, we have incorporated a new toolbar in ArcMap, which allows you to tune your map documents easily. This toolbar "analyzes" your map document and tells you how you could make it better performing. For example, it will detect if

• any of your layers are being projected on the fly.
• building a specific index on a field in your geodatabase is advisable.
• a layer does not have scale dependencies.
• a complex multilayered symbol is being used.
• Etc.

Additionally, through this toolbar you can export your map document to a map service definition (msd) file, which is optimized for performance in ArcGIS Server.

ArcGIS 9.3.1 also uses significantly improved drawing technology to accelerate map display, boosting your server's throughput.

Finally, we have optimized the output images created by the map service to make sure that they are as small as possible (while maintaining high cartographic standards). Smaller files mean faster download times, especially on low bandwidth networks.

Can I accelerate caching times with 9.3.1?

Yes. You can optimize your map documents and publish them through map service definition files, which will accelerate your map caching process.

Can I create a map service definition file from any ArcMap document?

Yes. However, the Map Service Publishing toolbar in ArcMap will warn you if there are any data sources that are not compatible with making high performance maps.

Can I access ArcGIS 9.3.1 Map Services from 9.3 Web applications?

Yes. From a client point of view, ArcGIS 9.3.1 dynamic map Web services look just like 9.3 map Web services, but they are faster. Web applications built with the ArcGIS JavaScript API and the ArcGIS API for Flex will be able to transparently connect to your 9.3.1 map services. Web ADF applications will be able to connect to 9.3.1 services as long you do so over Internet connections.
