Thanks Mike, A lot of our feature services have attachments and pre-date July 2014. We are going to go through and republish these to take advantage of the file storage rather than the database storage. Regards Gordon ... View more

Hello D, The solution we came up with was to host the web services on an Amazon Cloud Server, then consume the services on ArcGIS Online. This allowed us the freedom to synchronise between the corporate gdb and the cloud gdb and then have field collection managed by ArcGIS online. We could then do all the reporting and calculations we needed. regards Gordon ... View more

Mara, this is possible. In the ArcGIS Online map viewer you can configure the attributes Under the layer properties. You simply select the visibility option for viewing and editing. In the map parameters it might be also useful have only the creator edit their own data. That way no one other that the person who created that point can edit it. cheers Gordon ... View more

Hello Berk, how are you trying to build your cache? As it is rasters might I suggest putting the rasters in a Mosaic Dataset then use the caching toolset to build an offline cache from the Mosaic datset. The Manage Tile Cachehttp://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#/Manage_Tile_Cache/001700000189000000/ Tool will build the cache for you. The advantage with the the mosaic dataset is the boundary layer will define the cache extents. Cheers Gordon ... View more

Scott, take a look at the lidar white paper from Esri. It predates the las data set but covers your questions about multipoints to terrain. http://www.esri.com/library/whitepapers/pdfs/lidar-analysis-forestry-10.pdf‌ hope this helps Gordon ... View more

Hello Michelle, ENVI toolbox is dependant on ENVI being installed on your system as it calls various IDL routines. SO simply put, no you need ENVI loaded to your system to access the ENVI tools in ArcGIS Regards Gordon ... View more

Here's the process to serve the imagery as a map cache. Create Mosaic Dataset in a file geodatabase Add Imagery to Mosaic Dataset Build Footprints Define Overviews Build Overviews Build a cache of the mosaic     Build a Cache tiling Scheme     Build Tile Cache of the mosaic Create a Map Service       Create a geometry feature class of the extents of the imagery       Create a map document with Mosaic Dataset Footprint Publish the Map Document to ArcGIS Server       Copy the generated cache Restart the Service Good luck Gordon ...

Georges, Esri are working on including the sensor API for GPS  at 10.2 ArcGIS for Windows Mobile. As a result it will be released shortly after the official ArcGIS 10.2 release. The date is not finalised as yet. Cheers Gordon ... View more

Hello Darryl, In order to use the .sid files you will need to  create a tile package of the imager. Descriptions on how this is achieved is found on the "Creating a tile package or dataset" page of the ArcGIS mobile help (http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/windows-mobile/app/index.html#/Creating_a_tile_package_or_tiled_dataset/007v00000038000000/) Cheers Gordon ...

G'day Eric and Ben, I will admit I have learn't something new over the past couple of days. I have been working with ECW's and ArcGIS for some time. I have encountered situations where it has been difficult to translate the ECW's to other formats and have put this down to the distributed ECW .ddl's. Today I took a 10 GB ECW and used the split raster tool. I split this image into 2300 unique Jpeg compressed Tiff images, each 10000 x 10000 pixels. It took 8 hours and consumed an extra 88 GB of disk in the process. However, it worked with out fail and that is the important point. So now there are two methods to break this image down. The tiled cache method recommended earlier and the split raster tool. regards Gordon ... View more

Ben, 18GB for 1 ECW is about Right. The Entire New South Wales ECW is 45GB. The size is your problem. Unfortunately the ECW .dlls that are provided with ArcGIS Desktop do not allow you to extract from or convert ECW images over 2GB. This is a licensing restriction on the publicly available ECW sdk. However there is a work around to this. You can convert the ECW's to a tiled cache in a mosaic dataset and then export from this tiled cache. The workflow to create your tiled cache at 10.1 SP1 is as follows: 1) From ArcGIS Desktop create a new Mosaic Dataset in a file geodatabase (Create Mosaic Dataset) 2) Add the ECW�??s to the Mosaic dataset (Add rasters to Mosaic Dataset) 3) Remove the padding around the edge of the images. (Build Footprints) 4) Create the Mosaic dataset overviews (Build Overviews) At this stage now we have a seamless mosaic of all the ECW�??s which can be consumed by ArcGIS Desktop.  The solution is to create a Tile Cache to allow extraction is as follows: 5) Build a Cache tiling Scheme (Generate Tile Cache Tiling Scheme) This tiling scheme defines the scale levels and dimensions for the different levels in the cache. 6) Build the Tile Cache. (Manage Tile Cache) 7) Create a new Mosaic Dataset in a file geodatabase. (Create Mosaic Dataset) 😎 Add the tile cache to the Mosaic Dataset (Add rasters to Mosaic Dataset) In ArcMap now you can draw shapes and use the export data tool (right click image ->export data)to export your rasters at the desired sizes.
