ArcGIS 10.1 is coming soon and many have been asking questions around what the recommended system requirements are. Updated system requirements for ArcGIS 10.1 are now available and can be found on the new resource centre here: http://resourcesbeta.arcgis.com/
I wanted to take these and add my recommended system requirements for ArcGIS 10/10.1.

A bug in ArcGIS Desktop 10.0 SP4 (NIM079126) that causes the Spatial Join tool to produce NULL results has been fixed with the release of the ArcGIS 10.0 SP4 (Desktop, Engine, Server) Spatial Join Tool Patch.
Several map services on ArcGIS Online have been updated. These are services that fall under (services.arcgisonline.com and server.arcgisonline.com).
If you have previously used any of the hosted map services and you experience issues while using them, try clearing your cache.
If you have feedback or comments, please post them to the forums at forums.arcgis.com.
Eagle Technology Group Ltd is proud to launch “EAGLE Television”, a page on our website which will provide access to EAGLE GIS webcast recordings and materials.
Our first addition is the recent “ArcGIS for Home Use” webcast which was recorded last Friday 4 May 2012.
The upcoming “New Zealand Resources for ArcGIS” webcast which will be hosted this Friday 11 May will also be recorded and added to EAGLE Television so stay tuned for more content.

Given that “cloud” has become one of the most used technology buzzwords of the decade, it’s not surprising that the Esri International User Conference 2012 is shaping up to offer an impressive number of cloud sessions on the agenda.
This year’s presentations are aimed at equipping the cloud-initiated with the information and answers you need to successfully implement cloud solutions.
You’ll also see an abundance of sessions about ArcGIS Online, aimed at exposing attendees to the variety of functionality present in Esri’s SaaS offering. Some highlights include demonstrations about consuming external content to craft well-designed symbols and pop-ups; and how to move your on-premise desktop maps from ArcMap into an ArcGIS Online organizational account — a new offering which allows you to tailor ArcGIS Online to your business or agency.
Esri’s ArcGIS software is the preferred GIS for local governments around the world. This is especially true in New Zealand where ArcGIS in used in councils representing over 75% of our population. “It has been almost exactly 25 years since we made our first GIS sale to a local council,” says Greg Dillon-Price, who was brought on by Eagle 20 years ago fresh out of varsity. “Since that time we have seen GIS evolve from a leading edge technology to a pervasive solution. Today, for New Zealand local and regional councils, ArcGIS is the defacto standard.”
Indeed, New Zealand’s largest new local authority, Auckland Council, has standardised on Esri’s ArcGIS. Ian Smith, Geospatial Manager, Auckland Council, says ArcGIS will be at the forefront of service delivery. “GIS technology will provide truly integrated location aware planning and decision making with all property, asset and customer relations interacting in a geospatial window. It will be a key tool in the support and delivery of the Auckland Plan that will shape the future of the region over the next 30 years.”
The GeoServices REST Specification provides a way for Web clients to communicate with geographic information system (GIS) servers through Representational State Transfer (REST) technology.
The specification is
- A proven and easy to understand method for a broad range of clients and applications to request map, feature, attribute, and image information from a GIS server.
- A JSON-based, REST-ful specification that will make the GIS server instantly usable by thousands of developers working in popular client-side development environments with the ArcGIS Web mapping APIs for JavaScriptT, FlexT, Silverlight®, iOS®, and AndroidT.
Use of the GeoServices REST Specification is subject to the current Open Web Foundation Agreement. The Open Web Foundation (OWF) is an independent non-profit dedicated to the development and protection of open, non-proprietary specifications for web technologies. Terms and conditions of the OWF Agreement are subject to change without notice.

One of the most demanded new features of ArcGIS 10.1 for Server is the out-of-the-box support for printing in web applications. This feature has ranked number 1 in ideas.esri.com for a long time, so we are proud it made it into the 10.1 release.
ArcGIS Server 10.1 includes a new PrintingTools geoprocessing service which can be used from the ArcGIS Viewer for Flex and some ArcGIS.com templates very easily. This service is also supported by the ArcGIS APIs for JavaScript, Flex, and Silverlight. Through this service you’ll be able to create high quality maps from your web applications in image and PDF formats.
Most of us here are relatively familiar with ArcGIS Server for .Net. However, in support our exposure to the Java product is relatively limited, simply because it seems that fewer customers have implemented ArcGIS Server for Java.
In this post, I’ll try to cover a topic that comes up every now and then in support, how to secure both OGC and Esri GIS Service endpoints provided by the same instance of ArcGIS Server. This concept is similar to but implemented differently than the ArcGIS Server for .Net help topic “Multiple ArcGIS Server Web Instances for Security“.
For our latest guest blog post we invited designer / cartographer Saman Bemel Benrud to talk about the unique challenges presented when designing icons for maps. Saman is one of the creators of Maki which is an open source map icon project. We are proud to announce the Maki collection is now…
