Secondly, you have a subdomain that points to this machine and you want ArcGIS server to respond accordingly:

gisstuff.example.net --> ROUTES TO ------------> foorbar1
ArcGIS Server ---------> STILL RESPONDS WITH --> foorbar1 ???

Here, the ArcGIS website is getting requests through the subdomain. (Your router takes care of that) However, the ArcGIS HTTP responses do not point to the right address. They are still pointing to the machine itself without “knowing” of the router’s configuration.

http://foobar1/arcgisoutput/ --> IS RETURNED, INSTEAD OF --> http://gisstuff.example.com/arcgisoutput/

For this problem, (or any other reason you need to control the response URLs) look in ArcGIS Server’s configuration file at \server\system\Server.dat (Windows OS)

The Server.dat file maintains the server’s properties. The server object manager (SOM) reads the contents of this file at its startup and is configured accordingly … Be sure to restart the SOM service after editing this file.

For more info, see the web help HERE and HERE. There’s a lot you can configure with ArcGIS Server, you just have to know where to go. Good luck!

This is good news for proponents of open standards and HTML5. The company announced they are going to “aggressively contribute to HTML5″ as they believe it is the “best technology for enterprise application development”.

Warning: Can't edit versioned workspace, check that you have proper permissions on the version.

I’m sure there’s more than one trigger for it, but in our case, ArcMap did not release a table from ArcSDE load only mode. We verified this with the following SQL statement; it prints all the Oracle tables in load only mode:

-- Lists all Oracle tables that are in load only mode
SELECT a.owner OWNER,
  a.TABLE_NAME TABLE_NAME
FROM sde.table_registry a,
  sde.layers b
WHERE BITAND(b.eflags,1074790400)  = 1074790400
AND a.owner                        = b.owner
AND a.TABLE_NAME                   = b.TABLE_NAME;

Once you know which tables are in load only mode, use sdelayer on the command line to change them. You can also use sdelayer to get the current mode of a table (in lieu of the SQL above).

REM Describe the current mode for a featureclass/table
REM See http://help.arcgis.com/en/geodatabase/10.0/admin_cmds/support_files/datamgmt/sdelayer.htm
sdelayer -o describe -l {owner.featureclass,shape} -u myUserName  -p myPassword

REM Change the mode for a featureclass/table.
sdelayer -o {load_only_io | normal_io} -l owner.featureclass,shape -u myUserName -p myPassword

Good luck!

Download and install the Microsoft Expression Blend SDK for Silverlight 4. It’s in there.

2. User task flow: Who are your users? What are their tasks and online environment? For a site to be usable, page flow must match workflow.

3. Architecture – it’s 80% of usability, Build an efficient navigational structure. Remember – if they can’t find it in 3 clicks, they’re gone.

4. Affordance means obvious: Make controls understandable. Avoid confusion between emblems, banners, and buttons.

5. Replicate: Why reinvent the wheel? Use ergonomically designed templates for the most common 8-12 pages.

6. Usability test along the way: Test early in design using low-fidelity prototypes. Don’t wait until the end when it’s too late. Know the technology limitations Identify and optimize for target browsers and user hardware. Test HTML, JavaScript, etc. for compatibility.

7. Know the technology limitations: Identify and optimize for target browsers and user hardware.Test HTML, JavaScript, etc for compatibility.

8. Know user tolerances: Users are impatient. Design for a 2-10 second maximum download. Reuse header graphics so they can load from cache. Avoid excessive scrolling.

9. Multimedia – be discriminating: Good animation attracts attention to specific information, then stops. Too much movement distracts, slowing reading and comprehension.

10. Use a stats package: Monitor traffic through your site. Which pages offend user interest? Which pages make users leave? Adjust your site accordingly.

•0.1 second is about the limit for having the user feel that the system is reacting instantaneously, meaning that no special feedback is necessary except to display the result.

•1.0 second is about the limit for the user’s flow of thought to stay uninterrupted, even though the user will notice the delay. Normally, no special feedback is necessary during delays of more than 0.1 but less than 1.0 second, but the user does lose the feeling of operating directly on the data.

•10 seconds is about the limit for keeping the user’s attention focused on the dialogue. For longer delays, users will want to do other tasks while waiting for the computer to finish, so they should be given feedback indicating when the computer expects to be done. Feedback during the delay is especially important if the response time is likely to be highly variable, since users will then not know what to expect.

When you installed Xcode 4, you might have expected it to show up in the Places > Applications folder. It doesn’t – At least not by default.

Xcode is installed in Devices > Macintosh HD > Developer > Applications … assuming that your main partition is named “Macintosh HD” and you accepted the default installation parameters.

Still having trouble launching it? Try one of these:

1. Open the Terminal, enter open -a /Developer/Applications/Xcode.app
2. Open the Terminal, enter open -a Xcode.app
3. Use Spotlight. (The magnifying glass icon in the top-right of your screen.) Click it, type Xcode.
