Abstract
- What critical components of a GIS system must be monitored in the course of migrating from an older GIS Server architecture to another that’s nearly 10 years newer? In this paper, we examine the requirements at the system and application levels as we assist UNCW’s Department of Geography & Geology in a migration from ArcGIS Server versions 9.2 and 10.0 to version 10.1. We examine the components that change, as well as those that stay the same and determine their overall impact on software development. Finally we look at application design and determine how much can be salvaged from critical older applications as we migrate them to the new architecture, and determine how application development will change from this point forward.
