Tracking Server 10.1 includes exciting new features, a greatly enhanced Tracking Gateway, a brand new Tracking Viewer, and an improved Tracking Server SDK.
Key New Features
- Tracking Server Web Connector allows your real-time tracking services to be:
- Served as KML services for consumption by KML-compatible client applications, such as ArcGIS Explorer.
- Consumed on the Web in CSV and JSON formats.
- Client Data Logger allows you to log your real-time data to CSV files for archiving or scenario playback using Tracking Simulator.
- Import / Export Configurations feature in Tracking Server Manager allows you to quickly and easily transfer an entire Tracking Server configuration from one machine to another.
- Improved Tracking Server Manager user experience:
- Widespread performance enhancements allow you to administer your Tracking Server faster than ever before.
- Streamlined workflow allows tracking services to be automatically created and published when creating / importing message definitions.
- Generic Input Data Link now supports input dates and times in a variety of formats, including ISO 8601 and standard Esri time formats.
Enhanced Tracking Gateway
- Now able to store the last known observation for each track in history, allowing client applications to immediately display all known tracks.
- Now able to save network bandwidth and increase performance by sending subscribed clients only features within a client-specified map extent.
- Now allows larger sets of message definitions to be transmitted to client applications.
- New configuration options allow more observations to be stored in history, allowing client applications to immediately display more tracking features than ever before.
New and Improved Tracking Viewer (Version 3.2)
- Now integrated into the ArcGIS Viewer for Flex 2.5, making it easier than ever to integrate your tracking functionality with other ArcGIS features in a single viewer.
- Upgraded to use the ArcGIS API for Flex 2.5 and built with Adobe Flex SDK 4.1.
- New accordion user interface improves user experience and allows the widget to be more compact.
- New feature saves network bandwidth by allowing Tracking Server to send Tracking Viewer only features that are in the map extent.
Other New Features
- Improved handling of coordinate systems and projection for real-time data:
- Data Partition Action enhanced to automatically project real-time data if coordinate systems of source and target message definition are different.
- Custom coordinate systems can now be added through Tracking Server Manager.
- Improved message definition management allows you to explicitly set the time field to be used, if multiple time fields are present.
- Improved Tracking Simulator:
- Text and XML data formats supported by the Generic Input Data Link can now be used with Tracking Simulator.
- Tracking Simulator now automatically adjusts for the time zone of the corresponding message definition when replacing timestamps in simulated data.
- Larger, more complex polygons are now able to be transmitted through Tracking Server.
- Data Modification Action now supports concatenation of string data values.
New Samples Added to Tracking Server SDK
- New C# Run Command Action Sample allows you to create a server action that automatically executes a command line statement whenever the action is triggered.
- New C++ Geofence Tag Action Sample allows you to tag observations with the name of the polygon that caused the location trigger to fire.
