Lab 2

Lab 2

Goal and Background

This lab was created for students to learn how to use ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise to build various web services. It also incorporated some basic skills in ArcMap and ArcGIS Pro.

Methods

Part 1 section 1: Students were first instructed sign in to ArgGIS Online for organization. Next, My Content was opened and the Add Item tab was clicked. Next, the item Wisconsin_transportation.zip was added via Chose File. A title and tags were chosen and then the Enter key was hit. Next, Add Item was clicked to publish the map as a service. Part 1 Section 2: Students next created a web map with the Wisconsin transportation data service; naming it "Wisconsin Web Map_insertlastname". Part 1 section 3: The same steps from part 1 were followed to publish a csv. excel file. It was then saved as "WI_fire_occ_2014_insertlastname" before being published. Part 1 section 4: ArcMap was opened and feature classes Lakes and Rivers_and_Streams were added from the subfolder: Part 1 section 4. In data view, feature titles were properly edited, as well as layer colors before the map was saved as 'Wisconsin_water_bodies'. ArcGIS Online for Organizations was signed into via Enterprise Login. A service was then created via file, share as, publish a service. After clicking next, My Hosted Services (UW Eau Claire - Geography and Anthropolgoy) was selected in the Chose a Connection window. After clicking continue, a summary and tags were added in the Item Description tab as well as a description, credits, and access/use constraints. Sharing was then clicked and Geog455Fall2019 was selected. Analyze was then selected in the service editor to check for errors. No errors were detected that would impede the sharing and Publish was clicked. A server publishing window appeared and OK was clicked. The recently published service was examined in ArcGIS online under My Contents. The legend was then edited to chose an appropriate color for water and the label Wisconsin Water Bodies - Lakes was changed to Lakes. Arcmap and ArcGIS Online were then signed out of. 

Part 2 section 1: First, Portal was connected to by searching for ArcGIS Administrator, clicking Advanced, Manage Portal Connections, Add. The url https://gis.uwec.edu/portal/ followed by connect and save. OK was then clicked to close out of ArcGIS Administrator. ArcMap was then opened, and Database Connections was clicked in Catalog. The Database Platform was changed to SQL Server. The Instance was changed to geog02. In the database select, the student's user name was selected before it was finalized by OK. The raster data Eau_cpw2011 was then added to Arcmap before being symbolized to appear like the diagram in lab:

File, Share as, Service was then clicked, followed by Next, Add ArcGIS Server, Next again, and then Finish. ArcGIS Enterprise was then logged into using the students' credentials to display a Publish a Server window. The service was to be named Chippewa_Valley_urban_Landuse. Next was clicked and the student's folder was selected to publish to. The service was then cached via clicking on the Caching window, checking the using tiles from a cache button, setting the scale to min (10) max(17), changing the format from PNG to Mixed, setting the summary, description, tags, access/constraint, credits, Analyze, and then Publish. OK was then clicked and then Refresh Status in the Cache Status window. Part 2 section 2: Students then learned how to consume the map service they had published. ArcGIS was signed into via Enterprise login. The map image layer they had posted earlier was accessed from My Content and The services published so far by the student were viewed in REST Services. Part 2 section 3: ArcGIS Portal was then signed into in arcGIS Pro. Next, Manage Portals, and Add Portal were selected. http://gis.uwec.edu.portal was selected and signed into. In ArcGIS Pro, New Blank Templates, and then Map were selected. Portalserv_insertlastname was typed as the name in the Create New Project Dialogue. Students' Enterprise geodatabases were then connected to by clicking Insert, Connections, New Database. In the Database Connection window, the following information was added: 

 

With the Geog.02 database added, it was then to be clicked on to reveal the Eau_cpw2011 image.  

The topographic and hillshade layers were then removed. In the properties of the EC_cpw2011 under the general tab, the name was changed to Chippewa Valley urban corridor. The metadata was then given appropriate title, tags, description, and credits. The legend was then symbolized to look like so: 

 

 The layer was then shared by clicking Web Layer, Publish Web Layer, Share as Web Layer. Appropriate name, summary, and tags were then added. The students folder was then selected from the select or create folder window and the tiling scheme wizard was activated. Min(10) and Max(11) Levels of detail were then set and Cache automatically was selected. The Analyze button was then clicked to check for errors and Publish was selected. The student then accessed the service through the server's rest endpoint as well as Portal for ArcGIS. 

Part 3 section 1: Arcmap was first opened and the Lab2_Part3 was connected. The Data geodatabase was expanded to import features: Earthquakes, and Hurricanes. The map was then saved. Earthquakes were then given this symbology: 

 

Hurricanes were then given this symbology:

 Time and Enable Time were then selected and the following information was put in:

Calculate was clicked and then the Layer Properties window was closed.

 The map was then published following similar steps as part 2 section 1 as Natural_Disasters_insertinitials. Feature Access was then selected and the box was checked to allow users to edit the service by updating it. Then, in the Service Editor box, appropriate summery and tags were entered before Analyze and Publish were selected. Part 2 section 2: The feature service the student created was then added to a web map by the student clicking Add, Add Layer from WEB, specifying the url, and then Add Layer. Then, in the map, the layers were renamed to Hurricanes and Earthquakes. The map was then saved and the student was free to examine it from and end-user perspective.
