I just realized I skipped right over the little bit about 3 and 4 living side-by-side in your link! Can't wait to try the beta - I hope we can move to v4 as soon as it's officially released. ... View more

This may be your best bet without attending a training class: Tutorials - Smallworld GIS Wiki Maybe peruse their forums and blogs page, too? Forums & Blogs - Smallworld GIS Wiki And check-out this presentation: http://sw-gis.wdfiles.com/local--files/smallworldonlinecommunitypresentation/SWOnlineComm.pdf Since Smallworld is for niche markets, you shouldn't really be at a disadvantage if you've never used it before... How many candidates are they fielding who have direct experience doing this and are looking to move laterally to another GIS Technician position? If you know GIS concepts, that is half the battle... just present yourself as motivated and learn the Smallworld buzz words and abstract concepts! ... View more

I wonder... what would happen if you uploaded one of the simple, working tools with enough random comments to reach 6,500 lines? You could also add 90 dummy parameters... If the bloated test tool works locally, but experiences the same behavior when published to the server, then we may be able to rule out script-specific issues... this would lend credence to a script size issue. Maybe also try an unbloated test tool with 90 dummy params. ... View more

I read through the forum postings and didn't see a mention of infoUSA (paid service): Restaurant Database | Restaurant Mailing Lists | InfoUSA They should already have the addresses geocoded; there may be license/usability constraints on the data, however. You'd have to inquire for more information. I know you asked for a free resource, but just wanted to make you aware in case you were unsuccessful in this venture. ... View more

It doesn't hurt, but that's pricey. I know how much PSU charges from looking into their program years back... Honestly, if you have the motivation, you can teach yourself. There are a ton of online resources (as posters have mentioned) - here's another one to start with: http://www.microsoftvirtualacademy.com/training-courses/html5-css3-fundamentals-development-for-absolute-beginners You really need a solid understanding of the web - once you have that, the JS API will be easy as it's using GIS concepts you already know about. If you have problems, you can ask questions here; another forum you'll want to keep handy is Stack Overflow: Stack Overflow The most important thing is to stay motivated - you can learn it... we were all beginners once! ...

Also, since you are new to web development, I would also review and keep the following close: JavaScript Tutorial Dojo Tutorials - Dojo Toolkit  (the JS API uses Dojo) https://learn.jquery.com/  - you should really know this library as well W3Schools Online Web Tutorials - this will give you an overview of web development... you should really figure out now if you're just going to use HTML/JavaScript, or HTML/JavaScript with a server language on the back-end (e.g. vb.net). I use vb/c#.net - here's some info on that, if you're interested: Getting Started with ASP.NET 4.5 Web Forms and Visual Studio 2013 | The ASP.NET Site Here's a link to Visual Studio Community 2013 (free - used to be known just as Visual Studio Express, but there are editions now): Visual Studio Express You will probably just want to stick with HTML/JavaScript for now... ...

Vikram, There are some helpful recommendations in this thread: http://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/49719/improve-speed-of-index-rebuild-on-sql-server ... View more

Donald, just curious, which browser and browser version are you using? If you're using something like IE 7/8, I would move to the latest version of Chrome, if you can. It sounds, however, like you're not having browser "freeze"/front-end issues, which would be common in old versions of IE as they use a JavaScript engine that performs poorly and also lack modern features. It seems you're having issues with your processes on-the-cloud, not with manipulating the maps, workflow creation, etc. There are some unanswered Geonet forum questions identifying similar issues... I would suggest chatting with Esri support to see if they have any ideas. See if you can experiment with geoprocessing during off-peak hours... if you notice you can geoprocess at 3 AM on a Sunday, but have issues performing the same process Monday morning, I wonder if the cloud is not scaling. I perused ArcGIS Online help and didn't see anything related to cloud performance - there also doesn't seem to be a way to allocate more cloud resources to your organization, like you can with ArcGIS Server on EC2. This is one reason why I stick with ArcGIS Server on our own hardware - for security and performance reasons - we have more control this way, although it can be prohibitively expensive/time-consuming maintaining your own data center. This is why ArcGIS Online is great! ... View more

It looks like it's possible, but I will need to do quite a bit of redevelopment as the maps have all been developed as singletons... ... View more

Your shapefile is probably too large - try it with a smaller file. You may also want to have a look at best practices for ArcGIS Online regarding shapefile size and how to reduce it: Shapefiles—ArcGIS Online Help | ArcGIS In a nutshell, here are the limitations: Compression formats other than a .zip archive are not supported. Files containing more than 1,000 features cannot be added to a map. The shapefile must be less than 10 MB in size. The following features are not supported: multipatch or multipoint geometries, geometries that cross the dateline, or self-intersections in polygons. Shapefiles with these features cannot be added to a map. Shapefiles cannot be dragged directly onto the map viewer; you must use the Add button in the map viewer. ... View more

I'm not sure which SDK you are using - here's some info regarding the .NET SDK: Search for places—ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET | ArcGIS for Developers And also: Add geocoding to your app—ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET | ArcGIS for Developers  ... View more

Ignatius, Your questioned is marked as "assumed answered" - were you able to figure out a method? If not, I have a suggestion... It looks like each record contains a coordinate pair (longitude, latitude in your case) array - WGS coordinates landing somewhere in the Netherlands, if I'm correct. Since you are posting in the Python forum, here's a script that would help to read the linear coordinates: help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#//002z0000001v000000 Note - you'll have to copy the link above... the Geonet forum seems to be routing it to the main help page... You would need to do some formatting to make it look like the example - just remember... latitude = y; longitude = x. Let me know if this helps! ... View more

Strange - what version of the API are you using? I did a bit more digging and found another user described a similar situation, though they did not attach a screen capture, so I can't be sure. Have a look at the discussion in: InfoWindoLite popup spilling off of map on mobile or small browser window There's also a link with a solution that worked for some people here: Auto-panning map so that infowindow is fully visible ...

Not sure if this is still occurring; if so, are your users using IE? This came-up before: Tiled Map White Square Lines on IE10 Better yet, try removing compatibility mode, like so: <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">  ... View more
