ARM vs. Tap In Challenges with two similar systems 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 Esri IUC 2016 28 Jun 2016 8
Tap In Powered by ARM 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 Esri IUC 2016 28 Jun 2016 9
Recent Tap In Enhancements 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 Esri IUC 2016 28 Jun 2016 10
Enhancements cont. 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. Esri IUC 2016 28 Jun 2016 11
