KGIS upgraded its ArcGIS Server system this past weekend, moving to version 10.2.2 of that platform from version 10. Because of certain architectural changes in how ArcMap interacts with map services, desktop users of ESRI's ArcGIS software may therefore experience "broken links" in the ArcMap documents (.mxd's) after the upgrade. This mainly applies to aerial photography layers in your .mxd’s...CLICK HERE FOR MORE
Esri posted an interesting article on their developer's blog site the other day. Basically, they are dropping new development efforts for the Silverlight API and Flex API. With the rise in mobile devices, which don't support either Silverlight or Flex, Esri has decided to focus all new development efforts on the JavaScript API and HTML5. They are planning to support both (including bug fixes) in the coming year but they will not be adding any new functionality. Here is the link to article: http://blogs.esri.com/esri/arcgis/2014/02/21/esris-roadmap-for-web-developers/ How does this affect KGIS? (click here to read more)
More than 200 individuals took part in an online survey conducted on KGIS's behalf back in November 2013, and the results show a varied use of the KGIS applications and geospatial data. We want to thank everyone who participated in that survey, and are always open to hearing from folks on how we might do things better.

KGIS's database administrator Chris Halcomb plans to discuss the upcoming ArcSDE Raster Image restrictions, as well as, the Image Services now available to the KGIS Users. Chris will also discuss how to create a connection to ArcGIS Server to access the numerous Image Services KGIS has created over the last couple of years.
