Architecture


UNCLASSIFIED


• Common ArcGIS Server foundation but different target audiences (GIS professionals vs. training planners)

• Duplicated admin, development, socialization efforts

• Tap In – lightweight, responsive

• ARM – feature-rich, robust

• Tap In usage exceeds ARM

• ARM brand associated with key Dept. Army tracking & accreditation systems (APMS, ADCCP, DIACAP) and associated documentation

• Solution: We combined them

ARM vs. Tap InChallenges with two similar systems


UNCLASSIFIED


• ARM is the Enterprise GIS + supporting infrastructure

• Tap In is the primary web front end

• Dual Tap In modes

• Basic: Simpler Tap In UI with lightweight tools

• Advanced: Includes ARM’s “heavier” tools

• Advanced tools load at runtime, persistent

• Further ARM features for inclusion in subsequent releases

Tap In – Powered by ARM


UNCLASSIFIED


• Smart Search index expanded to include feature description

• Query facility capabilities, supported events

• ArcGIS Online integration

• End user & administration interfaces

• Performance

• File geodatabase, mosaic datasets moved to web server

• MS SQL Server CE tables (products, feature config variables)

• Legacy code conversion (AMD) + Esri API optimizer

Recent Tap In Enhancements


UNCLASSIFIED


• Legacy JavaScript converted to leverage AMD (Asynchronous Module Definition)

• Esri JavaScript API Optimizer - https://jso.arcgis.com/

• “The optimized site cuts the number of request on startup dramatically - from 234 to 119. Most of those requests are for map tiles and for image/css files.”

• Informal testing results: 17 – 32 % boost.
