ArcGIS Services Migration: from Development to Production Server.

This is a very typical scenario in which we develop and publish services (map, locator etc) on development server and keep on tweaking and testing it till we or client get satisfy with the output of it. There can be one or two services or dozens of it. Now the stage come in which we want to replicate the same thing deployed on production server. I could not find any help on this till now. After doing a lot of search and posting questions on forums I got a good answer. Mr. Manish Sharma who pointed out the solution of this problem and here I am sharing this to help other members of the community.

Tips for New UC Attendees

Here are some helpful planning tips for your trip to the 2010 ESRI International User Conference.

San Diego International Airport (SAN)

Most attendees will fly into SAN, which is about 4 miles from the convention center. It’s easy to arrange round-trip transportation in advance with the airport’s ground transportation services. You can also check out San Diego’s Transit Services.

Getting Around San Diego

Because the airport is close to downtown, and everything you need is nearby, you don’t really need a rental car. You can walk, take the trolley or bus, or hail a rickshaw or pedicab. Take a look at area maps and timetables.

For your safety, please be mindful when crossing the trolley tracks and observe all warning signals.

Getting Around the Convention Center

The UC and concurrent events take place at the San Diego Convention Center (SDCC), the Marriott Hotel & Marina next door, and the nearby Hilton San Diego Bayfront. The SDCC is very large, and it can take up to 20 minutes to get from one of the hotels to locations in the convention center. Know where your meeting rooms are to allow enough time to get there; view the conference agenda to see where the sessions you want to attend are being held.

Using GIS in Ecological Management: Green Assessment of the Impacts of Petroleum Activities in the State of Texas

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, May 2010, 7(5), 2101-2130

Edmund Merem, Bennetta Robinson, Joan M. Wesley, Sudha Yerramilli, and Yaw A. Twumasi

“Geo-information technologies are valuable tools for ecological assessment in stressed environments. Visualizing natural features prone to disasters from the oil sector spatially not only helps in focusing the scope of environmental management with records of changes in affected areas, but it also furnishes information on the pace at which resource extraction affects nature. Notwithstanding the recourse to ecosystem protection, geo-spatial analysis of the impacts remains sketchy. This paper uses GIS and descriptive statistics to assess the ecological impacts of petroleum extraction activities in Texas. While the focus ranges from issues to mitigation strategies, the results point to growth in indicators of ecosystem decline.”
