What is a Feature Service?

• New service in ArcGIS Server 10
• Designed for web editing

– Push changes into the geodatabase over the internet

• Also excellent for querying

– Fetch geometries and attributes – Client renders features (Thematic mapping, maptips…)

• Stateless, quick, RESTful service

What are Feature Templates?

• A shortcut to the things that people edit
• Feature Template defines:

–Symbol –Editable and read-only attributes –Default values –Preferred drawing mode

• Authored in ArcMap, used by all clients
• Structured data collection with an

intuitive user experience

Attachments

What are geodatabase attachments?

• A file associated to a feature
• Video, picture, pdf, zip…
• Stored in the geodatabase as a BLOB
• 1 to many relationship
• One feature, many attachments
• Retrieve and edit from Desktop and the Web

Geometry Service

• An ArcGIS Server service for geometry manipulation
• Enhanced in ArcGIS 10:
• Offset, Trim/Extend, Reshape, Auto-Complete
• Cut, Difference, Intersect, Union
• REST interface only
• Use in combination with Feature Service
• To aid in editing workflows
• Cut, Reshape…
• Also validating business rules!

Web Browser

Geodatabase

Feature Service Geometry Service

Search Service

• Index GIS content and folders
• Connect search service through ArcGIS Desktop
• Drag the result to ArcMap
• Save time to search relevant data through many folders and

geodatabases

Map Service support time-aware layers

• Make many of layers time aware using ArcMap
• Use time aware information to change the display and

perform temporal queries

Map Service Enhancement

• Geocode service support single-line address format
• e.g. 7 Wing Hong Street
• Support data extraction. (Clip, zip, email)

Map caching

• Compact cache storage (group large bundle files)
• Mixed mode caches (JPEG + PNG32)
• Import and export caches
• Copy first writing caches to shared cache

directory

• 0. map tile creation

when service is published (preprocessing operation) ArcGIS Server

• 2. pre-created

image tile sent

• 1. client request

Client A cache 256 x 256

Mixed mode image format

• Creates JPEG tiles

unless transparent pixels detected

• If transparent pixels

detected, creates PNG32

• Mashup basemaps with

ArcGIS Online

D Two overlapping map services Mixed mode cache on top of a JPEG cache

Create tiles

• Manage Map Server Cache

Tiles geoprocessing tool –Almost always use this in a model

• Allows spatial and scale

constraints

Update a cache using a staging server

All layers for All layers for cartography of cartography of map service map service Layers for Layers for TOC and TOC and Query Query

Copy cache

(On-demand caching needs the full map to build the cache)

Server Management

• Logging offloaded to SOCs

–SOM kept one log file for all messages

• Option for log file cleanup

–Specify the maximum number of logs

• Checks for invalid data connections

–Check database connection periodically

• Improve help search

–Ranking logic to list the most relevant topics

Demo

• 1. Slope Management System

(Silverlight)

• 2. Public Engagement for West Kowloon

Cultural District Exercise (Flex)

• 3. Mobile Update (JavaScript API)
