ArcGIS Enterprise Administration - Making effective use of the ESRI tools

Thursday November 7, 2024 1:30pm - 2:00pm CST

ESRI provides many tools to help administer your ArcGIS Enterprise. This session will walk you through some of the supported and “un-supported” tools available to help you make informed decisions to administer your ArcGIS Enterprise environment.

1.WebGISDr – Web GIS Disaster Recovery - back up and restore ArcGIS Enterprise deployments, ensuring data and configuration settings can be recovered in the event of a system failure or disaster.
2. System Log Parser tool analyzes ArcGIS Server log files to help diagnose performance issues, errors, and usage patterns by providing detailed reports.
3. EGDB - Health Check tool assesses the overall health and performance of an enterprise geodatabase, identifying potential issues related to storage, performance, and configuration.
4. DataStore tools help manage the ArcGIS Data Store, allowing administrators to configure, back up, restore, and validate the data store for optimal performance and reliability in an Enterprise deployment.

Interpolating Data for Neighborhood Estimates of Socioeconomic Characteristics

Thursday November 7, 2024 2:00pm - 3:00pm CST

Legends Club Rooms B (Davis)

Prior studies of spatial crime patterns often turn to the U.S. Census administrative units as proxies for neighborhoods. We know less about the feasibility of using areal interpolation methods to help estimate neighborhood-level regression models. We used ArcGIS Pro spatial interpolation methods to create neighborhood estimates of socioeconomic characteristics based on the Census data. Then, we examined the relationship between neighborhood characteristics, including racial heterogeneity, residential mobility, immigration, and concentrated disadvantage, and crime at several levels of analysis. We demonstrated that the spatial interpolation methods can offer reliable and accurate estimates of neighborhood measures when socioeconomic data are only available at the Census block group and tract levels. This study has important implications for social and systems science research with focus on area characteristics to predict spatially distributed outcomes, including crime.

Create your own Google Street view for under $500*

Thursday November 7, 2024 3:15pm - 3:45pm CST

Legends Club Rooms B (Davis)

Several departments need updated Street/Structure photos to include in their workflows. Since each department has a different need taking individual photos is not efficient or cost effective. Ideally staff would like to use Google Street View but the outdated photos, licensing, and unpredictable updates make it not ideal. So we looked at creating our own over the past year using ESRI software we already have and cameras that cost just a few hundred dollars. This allows us to get the images we need, control the updates, have full control over the licensing, and can efficiently gather and process the images over a few days. This should be a game changer for City of Wauwatosa and we want it to be a game changer in your community too!

Legends Club Rooms B (Davis)

Experiencing Experience Builder? Yeah, we are too.

ESRI’s new Experience Builder continues to evolve, slowly finding its place where Web AppBuilder once stood. With great flexibility in configuring specialized, unique experiences, but losses in formatting, widget availability, and direct conversion, Experience Builder becomes as intimidating as it is awe-inspiring. Experience Builder is an experience… and you have to experience it to find out. Start here!

This session showcases the transition from preexisting Web AppBuilders to new solutions with remaining core functionalities. We’ll work through limitations, roadblocks, and general familiarity with the application at hand, discovering what works and what doesn’t.

We’ll create a collaborative place to learn, share, and experience what this application has in store— showcasing case studies, innovative applications, and practical tips and tricks.

DNR's Web Mapping Modernization Journey

Friday November 8, 2024 1:30pm - 2:00pm CST

Legends Club Rooms B (Davis)

Over the past ~2 years the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and undertaken the ambitious process of modernizing all of our GIS mapping applications from JavaScript 3.X based technology to modern JavaScript 4.X technology.

The project included both internal and external facing applications comprising approximately 50 Geocortex applications and more than 50 ArcGIS Online-based applications. The coordination, communication, and education in new technology presented both challenges and opportunities for the DNR's GIS developer and user community.

This presentation will give a high-level overview of DNR's Journey to modern web GIS.

ArcGIS Enterprise 11.3 Upgrade - A review of a succsessful ArcGIS Enterprise full stack machine migration

Friday November 8, 2024 2:00pm - 2:45pm CST

Legends Club Rooms B (Davis)

Thinking about migrating ArcGIS Enterprise from 10.x to 11.3. Join for a journey on lessons learned upgrading a full 10 machine enterprise portal/server stack with all server roles and data store types (including spatiotemporal).

Although this was done in AWS this migration was not done using cloud formation, so it would mirror an on premise workflow as well.

Tips/tricks, what worked, what didn't, and gotchas!
