New in ArcGIS 9.3.1 |
ArcGIS 9.3.1 improves the performance of dynamic map publishing and increases the sharing of geographic information.
|
| High-Performance Dynamic Map Publishing |
- New faster drawing map service
- Outperforms ArcGIS 9.3 and equivalent ArcIMS services.
- Produces significantly better-looking maps. Shortens map caching time.
- New Map Service Publishing toolbar in ArcMap helps you tune-up your map documents before publishing to ArcGIS Server.
- Review and respond to errors, unsupported content, and warnings about items that will slow down your dynamic map services.
- Preview your map document and estimated rendering time.
- Save your map document to a map service definition (msd) format, which is optimized for performance in ArcGIS Server.

 |
| Create intuitive Web maps that are significantly faster than ArcGIS 9.3 |
|
| Better Sharing of Geographic Information |
- Better sharing of layers
- Layers referencing feature or raster data can be packaged into a single layer package comprised of both the layer file and data. A layer package is created in ArcGIS Desktop and encapsulates ArcMap cartography and data. It can easily be e-mailed to others or placed on a DVD or network drive.
- With the ArcGIS Online Web application (beta coming soon), you will be able to
- Search for maps published by ESRI and other users.
- Upload maps and register online map services.
- Organize and control access to shared maps.
- Save Web maps as items for others to share, discover, and use.
- Share layer packages.

|
| Fast Access to Microsoft Virtual Earth Maps and Imagery |
- Quickly start GIS projects with ready-to-use content.
- Up-to-date multi-scale mapping content from Microsoft Virtual Earth includes aerial imagery, roads, and hybrid (aerial with labels) imagery.
- Content (imagery, roads, and hybrid) appears as another data layer in GIS providing excellent background maps on which users can overlay their operational data.
- ArcGIS Desktop and ArcGIS Server users directly connect to Microsoft Virtual Earth content via ArcGIS Online.
- Clients can access Virtual Earth content from any Web applications built with ArcGIS Server and ArcGIS Server Web SDKs (including JavaScript, Flex, and Microsoft Silverlight APIs).

|
| Enhanced Support for Java Developers |
- Ability to extend the ArcGIS/ArcObjects Framework. Java developers can now create the following extensions in their native language:
- Custom geoprocessing tools
- Server object extensions (SOEs) and utility objects for ArcGIS Server
- Class extensions for customized data behavior in a geodatabase
- Custom renderers for customized rendering of data in ArcMap and ArcGIS Engine applications
- Plug-in data sources
- Tools for debugging, registering and deploying Java extensions for ArcGIS
- Support for Eclipse integrated development environment (IDE)
- Wizards to generate boilerplate code based on the developer's specification
- Autodeploy feature
|
|
| Easy to Install |
- Upgrading to ArcGIS 9.3.1 does not require uninstalling ArcGIS 9.3.
- Easy to migrate or work in mixed environments of ArcGIS 9.3 and ArcGIS 9.3.1 within the same organization since geodatabases, map documents, and APIs did not change.
