ArcGIS 9.3.1 Unlocks the Potential of Your GIS
Ya empieza a aparecer más información sobre la versión de ArcGIS 9.3.1
ArcGIS 9.3.1 Unlocks the Potential of Your GIS
Redlands, California—April 27, 2009 — ArcGIS 9.3.1, which began shipping today, helps you create and share modern Web maps that are relevant to your entire organization. This release of ESRI's integrated collection of geographic information system (GIS) software products focuses on improving the performance of dynamic map publishing and increasing the visibility of geographic information.
High-Performance Dynamic Map Publishing
ArcGIS 9.3.1 includes an optimized map service that allows you to produce high-performance dynamic maps. The improved map quality in these services includes sharper edges to features, clearer labels, and better color transparency. ArcGIS Desktop users can fine-tune their maps for faster performance using the new Map Service Publishing toolbar. The toolbar allows maps to be analyzed and makes recommendations for fine-tuning. The results can be previewed, and estimated draw times are provided. Maps can now be published directly from the ArcGIS Desktop ArcMap application to ArcGIS Server. Optimized map services also improve map caching performance, as faster rendering speeds reduce the time it takes to create map caches for basemaps. Map quality is noticeably improved, and storage is more efficient. These new map services outperform equivalent ArcIMS services and provide significantly better-looking maps, benefiting those who use dynamic Web mapping or combine dynamic and cached maps on the Web.
Better Sharing of Geographic Information
ArcGIS now includes functionality to allow users to easily share and search for geographic content, such as maps, data, layers, and services. ArcGIS Online includes a new application in which users can create an account and, through a keyword search, find content; preview it; and, with a simple click, add it to ArcMap or ArcGIS Explorer. To facilitate the sharing of layers in ArcGIS, users can create layer packages that encapsulate ArcMap cartography and data, including a thumbnail, the extent, and spatial reference, in an easy-to-share package. Layer packages can be shared via ArcGIS Online as files, attached to e-mails, or included on DVDs. Joining the ArcGIS Online user community is easy and free to all ArcGIS users.
Seamless Integration with Microsoft Virtual Earth
ArcGIS Desktop users are now able to directly connect to Microsoft Virtual Earth services and quickly start their GIS projects with ready-to-use content at no additional charge. Virtual Earth services, which include imagery, streets, and hybrid imagery with street labeling, appear as just another data layer in GIS. Virtual Earth imagery and street maps provide excellent background maps on which users can overlay their operational data. Also, ArcGIS Explorer users and ArcGIS Server developers who are using Microsoft Silverlight, Flex, JavaScript, Java, or .NET now have simple access to the same high-quality Microsoft Virtual Earth basemap data.
ArcGIS API for Microsoft Silverlight
ArcGIS Server now supports Microsoft's Silverlight Web development platform for building fast, highly interactive Web applications. The new ArcGIS API for Microsoft Silverlight allows developers to use any .NET Framework-supported language to add GIS capabilities and consume services from ArcGIS Server and Microsoft Virtual Earth in a Silverlight application. The API takes full advantage of the mapping, geocoding geometry, image, and geoprocessing capabilities of ArcGIS Server. End users can display their data in an interactive map, search for and display GIS data features and attributes, locate addresses, identify features, access raster imagery, and perform complex spatial analysis by simply clicking a button or feature on the map.
Easy to Install
ArcGIS 9.3 users are able to easily upgrade to ArcGIS 9.3.1 without having to uninstall ArcGIS 9.3. In addition, ArcGIS 9.3.1 is completely compatible with ArcGIS 9.3, so users will be able to easily work in mixed environments within the same organization.
Changes to ArcGIS Server Licensing Provide More Flexibility
With the release of ArcGIS Server 9.3.1, some licensing changes have been made to allow users more flexibility in their ArcGIS Server deployments. The editing feature of ArcGIS Server is now available for ArcGIS Server Standard users (previously, editing was only available with ArcGIS Server Advanced). In addition, ArcGIS Server 9.3.1 Advanced includes the Spatial, 3D, Network, and Geostatistical extensions for no additional fee. Finally, to give users more flexibility in their configuration of ArcGIS Server, the Web Application Development Framework (ADF), Web Service Handlers, and Server Object Manager can be deployed on multiple machines without paying an additional deployment license fee.
Resources to Help You Get Started
New sample viewers and templates are available on the ESRI Resource Centers Web site at resources.esri.com to help users get their applications up and running more quickly. Also, ESRI is offering a free seminar, Creating Effective Web Maps, throughout the United States from April 30 through June 9, 2009. This seminar will show users how to take advantage of available resources and learn design strategies for building fast, intuitive Web maps. See www.esri.com/webmaps for seminar details.

Using detailed logging with ArcGIS Server 9.3
Como utilizar un logging detallado con ArcGIS Server 9.3.
Os paso el vínculo al posteo creado en el blog de desarrollo de ArcGIS Server, donde detallan paso por paso como activar un loggin detallado a la hora de pintar elementos en una palicación de mapa creada con ArcGIS Server 9.3 y 9.3.1.
During the initial releases of ArcGIS Server, many users asked for fine-grained logging down to the layer draw level. This functionality was added to ArcGIS Server 9.3 as a new logging level Info:Detailed. The detailed logging is especially helpful when troubleshooting performance. In this post, we’ll consider the scenario that you have a map service that’s not drawing as fast as you’d like.
Here it’s worth noting that before you go to the logs, it may be easier to catch the problem using the popular mxdperfstat tool from ArcScripts or the “Analyze” button on the 9.3.1 Map Service Publishing Toolbar. As ArcGIS Server 9.3.1 becomes available in the next few weeks, we’ll be posting more information about the Map Service Publishing toolbar and how it can quickly point out areas for improvement in your map document. Version 9.3.1 also includes a faster drawing engine for map services that will help improve performance.
When you need more detail about what’s happening during a map draw, you can go to the log files and enable the new detailed logging. This is the workflow you’d follow:
Set the log level to Info:Detailed. If you need help with this step, see Specifying the log file location (skip steps 3 and 4). While you’re looking at the log properties page, note the path to the log file and browse to the log directory in Windows Explorer so you don’t have to hunt around for the file later.
Make a simple request to your map service by zooming or panning. Note the current time so you can find the request in the log.
Examine the log that was created during your request and note the feature count and elapsed draw time of each layer. For this step sometimes it’s helpful to print the log and use a highlighter to note the draw times. You’ll immediately see which layers are taking the longest to draw. Also, keep an eye on the feature count to spot inefficient layers. A layer may take only 0.2 seconds to draw at a particular extent, but if the extent only included 2 features you may have a potential inefficiency.
Repeat this process at several different locations and scales in your map. You want to make sure you analyze a good sample of the symbology and layers in your map.
When you finish, set the log level back to Normal.
The Help topic Map service log codes contains a table of the codes you’ll see when analyzing the detailed logging. If you scroll down the topic you’ll also find an example of the codes returned from a simple ExportMapImage request like the one that happens when you zoom or pan the map.
To learn more about detailed logging and the different log levels, see How log files work.

Australia Energy Company Jemena Focuses on Safety for Infrastructure Management
Pipelines, Electric Network Monitored with GIS Technology from ESRI
Redlands, California—April 27, 2009 — Australian energy infrastructure management company Jemena takes its name from an aboriginal word meaning "to hear, to listen, and to think," and the company uses geographic information system (GIS) technology to do just that for safety management. Using ArcGIS software from ESRI, Jemena can view its assets relative to utility line crossings, land-use zoning, and rights-of-way, as well as critical or sensitive infrastructure such as airports, schools, or hospitals.
Jemena's assets include the Eastern Gas Pipeline, the Queensland Gas Pipeline, and the transmission pipelines serving the Greater Sydney region. With transmission and distribution operations, Jemena supplies gas to over 1.6 million customers in Melbourne and Sydney. The company also supplies electricity to approximately 285,000 homes and businesses in the northwestern area of Greater Melbourne.
"GIS is the tool we use for safety management studies," said Chris Hamilton, GIS manager, Jemena. "With ESRI's ArcMap, we are able to pan along the pipeline to view current and historic threats and monitor changing conditions along the right-of-way. If we discover, for example, a large irrigation ditch crossing the pipeline, we are able to make the best decision to avoid risk to our assets from third-party interference."
ArcMap is one of the core applications delivered with all licensing levels of ESRI's ArcGIS Desktop. With ArcGIS Desktop, users can perform advanced spatial analysis, model operational processes, and visualize results on professional maps.
"ESRI's GIS technology provides data integration capabilities, modeling and analysis tools, and a geographic environment for reporting," said Rob Brook, ESRI's pipeline and gas industry manager. "Jemena is a powerful example of how pipeline operators are using GIS to maintain complex datasets, build comprehensive risk models, and use the results to ensure public safety."

Los SIG y la GeoWeb - Articulo de Jack Dangermond
Si bien los primeros 10 años de cartografía en la Web fueron muy importantes, los próximos cinco prometen una revolución total conforme se pasa de la etapa de creación sencilla de mapas y visualización geoespacial hacia la de geoservicios completos en la Web diagram of the GeoWeb, click to enlarge(lo que a veces se denomina "GeoWeb"). Para la industria de sistemas de información geográfica (SIG), la GeoWeb permite el uso compartido y exhaustivo de mapas y datos, y el acceso universal a aplicaciones SIG.
