The document summarizes the key updates and changes being introduced in ArcGIS Enterprise 11.0. Some of the major changes include removing the ArcMap-based runtime and migrating to the ArcGIS Pro-based runtime only, transitioning the ArcGIS Enterprise SDK to .NET 6, retiring several first-generation web apps, and adding new features like service webhooks and improved administration tools. It recommends considering staying on the 10.9.1 release which has longer support until these changes are ready to be adopted, as it retains compatibility with more existing functionality.

memory utilization and upper limits for automatically scaling resources to respond
to unpredictable demand.

5. ArcGIS Enterprise 11.0 on Windows and Linux is a short-term release
that builds upon previous releases of ArcGIS Enterprise
and introduces new features, apps, and improved functionality.
At the same time, it is also a significant release that
moves away from older generations of technology.
We are retiring several features;
this is the reason for the major version change from 10 to 11.

Esri Raster Basemap moving to mature support:
It is being recommended that customers running Versions of Enterprise
supporting Esri vector basemaps, switch to using vector basemaps
by default. Retired basemaps will be marked with a “Deprecated”
badge on the item details page.

Response caching:
Response caching is a backend server caching mechanism that
significantly increases performance and scalability for data server from
hosted feature services stored in a relational data store.
User-managed graph datastore:
A user-owned + licensed Neo4J database can now be registered with
ArcGIS to create knowledge graphs. Only for ArcGIS Enterprise that
federated with ArcGIS Knowledge server site.
Custom data feeds (beta)
 Allow users to expose their data with ArcGIS Enterprise
without registering or physically transferring it into ArcGIS
Enterprise, so the user's data remains in its native format
and location, but is served via ArcGIS enterprise.
 Addition to ArcGIS Enterprise components.
 Use Custom Data Feeds to create read only feature services
from custom data providers.

8. Administration
Log4j remediation:
ArcGIS Enterprise 11.0 contains a full remediation of the Log4j version
library containing the security vulnerability CVE-2021-44228.

security within the organization.

ArcGIS Enterprise 11
is a big shift away
from older technologies.
TheArcMap-based
runtime and several
first-generation web
applications have been

• Migrate compatible services
individually
Update ArcMap Services Utility Edit Runtime Operation

19. There is be an option for ArcMap Runtime Support when
upgrading or installing ArcGIS Server.
The ArcMap service runtime includes Python 2.x,
so disabling the runtime also removes Python 2.x.
Without the ArcMap service runtime, any existing services using the
ArcMap service runtime must be migrated to the Pro service runtime.
