Leveraging ArcGIS Online for Public Utility Data
- 1. Leveraging ArcGIS Online for Public Utility Information David Speight True North Geographic Technologies, LLC www.tngeo.com www.facebook.com/tngeo www.twitter.com/tngeo
- 2. • User Story • Business Problem • Technical Challenges • Solution in Action • Why is this relevant?
- 4. Business Problem • Outage Data • Telvent OMS • SQL Server • ArcGIS for Server Standard • SQL Server • ArcGIS for Desktop
- 5. Initial Idea We use the Flex Viewer internally…. …let’s use it for the public.
- 6. Technical Problems / Concerns • Opening the firewall • Server capacity • Server performance ….do we need to buy more licensing?
- 7. Usability Problems / Concerns • Keep users on the corporate website • Mobile device compatibility • Needs to work like the rest of the web • What information / level of detail do we expose?
- 8. Alternative Approach CEMC OMS ArcGIS Online Online Outage Map • Feature services • Web maps • Templates / apps / embed code Desktop GP
- 9. Data Prep • Geoprocessing • Convert tabular data to feature class • Limit attribute output • Aggregate data by grid • Publish to Server or AGOL (new at 10.1) • Ready to publish?
- 10. Wait….….we’re still at 10.0 (I don’t have a Server Publishing toolbox)
- 11. for field in fieldnames: element = str(field) value = str(row.getValue(field)) attributeDict[element] = value # Create the geometry object 'feat' feat = row.getValue(shapefieldname) poly = feat.getPart() for allRings in poly: for coordPair in allRings: xyPair = [coordPair.X,coordPair.Y] allPairs.append(xyPair) replaceRingsList = allPairs geometrySyntax['geometry']['rings'][0] = copy.deepcopy(replaceRingsList) # place the geometrySyntax dictionary that was created above into the cumulative inputGeometries list geometrySyntax['attributes'] = attributeDict geometrySyntaxDeepCopy = copy.deepcopy(geometrySyntax) Workaround
- 12. Final Solution • Python GP scripts • ETL script exported from Model Builder • Load data to AGOL via feature services • Executed as scheduled task • 24 x 7 every 10 minutes • Web Map • Symbology • Generalized data • Popups • Embedded to corporate website
- 13. Final Solution • Feature Service Updates vs. Republishing • FS approach was faster (< 5s) • Lose the overhead of republishing service definition, resharing, etc. • ArcGIS Online Organizational Account • Level 1 (5 users / 2500 credits) • In production since November 2012 • Almost no credit consumption • Free to use AGO for other uses
- 18. Summary • Publishing data to ArcGIS Online • Eliminated security concerns • Eliminated server capacity concerns • Purchase AGOL Organizational subscription instead of more hardware/software • Kept users on the corporate website • Maintained compatibility with mobile devices • Easy to modify & add content
- 19. Thank you… David Speight True North Geographic Technologies, LLC dspeight@tngeo.com 615-890-7728 www.tngeo.com
Editor's Notes
- ArcGIS Online is a cloud-based, collaborative content management system for maps... apps, data, and other geospatial informationAnybody can visit the website at arcgis.comto use publicly shared web maps and applications for personal use.Organizations now have the option to configure ArcGIS Onlineand manage their geospatial assets in a private instance for themselves.They can publish web-accessible maps and data and collaborate across the organization to share maps and other information.
