Sharing from ArcGIS Pro

ArcGIS Pro – Sharing User Experience

1. Sign into a portal

2. Share from:

i. The ribbon to share your entire map

ii. The context menu to share a selection of layers

3. Analyze your data for potential issues

4. Click Share/Publish

ArcGIS Enterprise

ArcGIS Online

Starting at 10.5, ArcGIS Enterprise is the new name for the ArcGIS for Server product line.

ArcGIS Enterprise is comprised of 4 software components.

All of these components existed in the software pre-10.5

These 4 components configured together create what is called the base ArcGIS Enterprise deployment.

Not just a server anymore, it’s a complete Web GIS solution

Components of the base deployment

ArcGIS

Server

Set up as a GIS Server and configured as the hosting server, ArcGIS

Server provides the layers, services, and

horsepower required to power your Web GIS.

ArcGIS Enterprise | Components of the base deployment

Portal

ArcGIS

The web frontend andinfrastructure backend that

supports a user’s interaction and overall experience with

your Web GIS.

Web

Adaptor

An Esri built software load balancer that

appropriately directs network traffic and serves as a reverse proxy for Web GIS

access.

Concept Review: Base Deployment and Federated Servers

• ArcGIS Enterprise Base Deployment

- Consists of a federated Server site

- Configured to be a hosting server with theArcGIS Data Store

• Some organizations may also haveadditional Server sites that are federatedwith Portal

• When sharing from ArcGIS Pro, you decidewhich federated Server you want to publishservices to

How Web maps, Layers, and Services Work Together

• Web map (2D) or Web scene (3D)

- Collection of web layers and mappingfunctionality

• Web Layer

- Portal content that references a service

- Stores configurations - attribute pop-ups, symbology, etc.

• Web Service

- Exposes a URL for web clients to access data

- Data can be copied to the server or referenced from a sharedlocation or enterprise geodatabase

Sharing web layers to ArcGIS Enterprise

Sharing Data Options

1. Reference registered data

- Registered data will be referenced, unregistered data will be copied

2. Copy all data

- Both registered and unregistered data will be copied

Working with Registered Data

• Designed to support enterprise editing workflows

• Data sources are registered with the federated server

• Source data is referenced, not copied

share

Working with Unregistered Data

share

Data is copied

• Source data is copied to the server machine

• Does not support enterprise data updates

• Maintains a static copy of your data

Understanding Data Stores

• Data store items

- Locations registered with the server that contains data usedby services

- OS account that ArcGIS Server is running as has read/write access

• ArcGIS Data Store

- Part of the base deployment

- Database is managed by the server

- Used to store data copied to the server for hosted services

Registering Data stores

• 2 ways to define

1. Ahead of time: ArcGIS Server Manager

- Site > Data Stores

2. While sharing: Resolve analyzers

Demo

Registering Data Stores

Sharing Web maps

• Preset configurations make one click sharing of new web layers easy and accessible

• Map level settings, such as bookmarks, are automatically maintained

Web maps and existing web layers

• Existing web layers are referenced in the Web map

- Any modified settings are stored in the map; not at the web layer or service

- Sharing settings will NOT be updated to match the web map

• If the map contains existing web layers, they will not be “published” again

Sharing Web maps – One Click Configurations

• Map layers unsupported by the primary web layer type will still be shared

- EX: Copy all data – editing with raster data will share raster layers as web tile layers

Configuration Description

Exploratory Interactive map that supports querying

Editing Editable map

Visualization Pre-generated tiles

Configuration Description

Exploratory Interactive map that supports querying• Reference – map image layers• Copy – non-editable feature layers

Editing Editable map• Reference – map image + feature layers• Copy – editable feature layers

Visualization Pre-generated tiles• Reference – cached map image layers• Copy – tile layers

Demo

Sharing a web map

Web and mobile mapping over the last 10+ years

• Typically vector content (points, lines, polygons)

• Displayed on top of basemaps

• Since ~2005, basemaps have usually been raster tiles

• Dynamic updates of the map consist of two things:

- Updating overlay content as drawn in client

- Changing the basemap

• Paradigm is changing

Raster tiles for high dpi devices

Example from Google Maps

Why vector tiles?

Raster is Faster, but Vector is Corrector – Joseph Berry

Why vector tiles?

• GPUs have changed the landscape

- On your devices (OpenGL ES2)

- In your browser (WebGL)

- On your desktop (DirectX, OpenGL)

- Even in virtualized systems (vGPU)

• Vector data can remain vector, draw at native resolution

• Raster data still best served as raster in most circumstances

Advantages of vector tiles

• Display quality- Best possible resolution for Retina displays

- Small efficient format

• Dynamic labeling- Clearer, more readable text

- On the fly labeling for heads up display

• Map Styling- Streets, Topo, Canvas from one tileset

- Day and Night mode

- Restyling

Labels rotate and flip

Vector tiles in ArcGIS

• Tiles produced in ArcGIS Pro 1.2+

- Use the Mapbox vector tile spec

- Which uses Google protocol buffers

- Styling converted to Mapbox gl style spec

• More aggressive overzoom

- Builds on generalization work done in past ArcGIS releases

- Support for traditional tiling also exists

Vector tile format

• Vector tiles are stored using protocol buffers

- Compact binary format for transferring data

- Data is organized into layers of geometry with key/value pairs of attributes

• A style file defines

- The layer order

- Definition query for each symbol layer

- Symbol information for each symbol layer

- Pro maps are converted to this model

- Is a downgrade in some cases

Tile creation process: Esri basemaps

• Entire world

- ~ 8hrs on a desktop machine

- Tiles ~ 13 GB

- Multiple styles can use the same tiles

• Compared to raster for the entire world

- ~ many weeks on a server cluster per map style

- Tiles ~ 20 TB

Vector tile basemaps

• Available on ArcGIS.com since November 2015

• Street (with and w/o relief), Topo, Night, Navigation, Dark Canvas, Light Canvas, Hybrid

ArcGIS vector tiles – consumption

• Tile consumption

- ArcGIS JavaScript 3.15+ and 4.0 APIs

- 3.18+ use a new implementation

- Need a WebGL capable browser

- ArcGIS Runtime 100.0+

- OpenGL ES2 and DirectX (depends on platform)

- ArcGIS Pro 1.3+

- Shares ArcGIS Runtime implementation

Mobile Map Package.mmpk

• Supports display, geocoding, and routing

• Created in ArcGIS Pro

• Used in Pro, Navigator, and Runtime

• Faster, smaller, and easier to share

• Routing and offline capabilities

Build great mobile maps

• Configure layers, locators, and more in ArcGIS Pro

• Create a mobile map package (mmpk)

• Use the mmpk on your mobile device

• Currently works with:

• Explorer for ArcGIS

• AppStudio

• Navigator

• Future support:

• Collector for ArcGIS

• Survey123

Make your GIS data mobile-ready, even offline

Faster, Smaller, and Easier to Share

• Mobile Map Package (.mmpk)

- One file (an archive) = easier to share

- Maps included (Pro and Runtime) = ready to use, consistent symbology

- Compressed = smaller file size

- Package by clip = smaller file size

Integrated across the platform

- Pro, Apps, Runtime

- Online sharing

- StreetMap Premium, Navigator Maps

Benefits over other package formats

What’s different about this package format?

Anatomy of a Mobile Map PackageAn .mmpk file is a container

• It contains one or more Maps or Basemaps. Maps can be opened in Pro and Runtime.

• Maps consist of Operational layers and compressed Basemap layers

• Transportation networks should be within the Basemap.

- Created from a network dataset.

• Locators are stored in a folder in the mobile map package.

• Feature data and system tables are stored in a “Mobile Geodatabase” (SQL Lite database).
