Geocortex Essentials 3.6 is now available. This release focuses on improvements to the technical infrastructure underlying Geocortex Essentials.

Highlights:

  • 64-bit Support
    Geocortex Essentials 3.6 now supports x64 and IIS Integrated Pipeline deployments.
  • Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Certified
    This certification demonstrates that Geocortex Essentials 3.6 has met Microsoft’s highest standards for stability, security, reliability, availability, Windows fundamentals, and platform compatibility. This certification is part of our ongoing commitment to the Microsoft Gold Partner program.
  • Web ADF and REST Elements Now Separate
    Geocortex Essentials REST Elements and Web ADF Elements are released independently. The 3.6.X branch of Essentials will contain REST Elements only. Future releases of the 3.5.X branch will contain Web ADF Elements.
  • Updated Workflow Documentation
    This release includes a draft version of new documentation surrounding workflow functionality. While still in draft form, this will nonetheless be very useful to gain a better understanding in how to set up and use Geocortex Workflow to its fullest.
  • Minor Bug Fixes and Enhancements
    This includes user interface, performance and workflow improvements as well as several bug fixes.

Please consult the release notes (found on our Support Center with the download) for further information.

Upcoming Webinars

December 1st, 2011 by Robert Dubicki

 

 

Webinar: Migrating from Web ADF to RESTful Technology

>> December 20, 2011 10 AM PDT

Given Esri’s deprecation of Web ADF, many organizations are in the process of devising migration strategies to shift to Esri’s RESTful web-based mapping platform. In this 30-minute webinar, we’ll explore strategies and best practices to help ensure smooth, efficient transitions.

If you are planning to migrate Web ADF applications, this is an ideal time to rethink how your web-based mapping applications are designed, developed and maintained in order to gain efficiencies and improve productivity moving forward.

This free Webinar will be of interest to GIS administrators, GIS managers and analysts currently using Web ADF who are involved in planning for the transition to ArcGIS for Server using a RESTful approach.  The presentation will take about 30 Minutes, but please allow for an additional 15 minutes for Q&A.

Webinar: HTML5 and Esri-based Web Mapping

>> February 1, 2012 10 AM PDT

With the steady growth in smart mobile devices and with every modern web browser now supporting HTML5, the adoption of HTML5 for web-based mapping is clearly on the rise.  This 30-minute webinar will provide an overview of HTML5 for generalists, theorize on likely timelines around adoption, and provide information to help you ensure that your organization is positioned to embrace this important standard at the right time.

It may still be a year or more before browser support for the HTML5 standard enables wide-spread adoption, and until then, a pragmatic approach works best. But don’t let that hold you back! Even today, HTML5 offers the opportunity for building platform agnostic mobile applications and solving real-world problems and we will show some examples using the forthcoming Geocortex Viewer for HTML5.

 This free Webinar will be of interest to GIS administrators, GIS managers and analysts currently using Esri’s ArcGIS Server platform. The presentation will take about 30 Minutes, but please allow for an additional 15 minutes for Q&A.
