This is a blog post from an iPad app that I downloaded from the apple store. This should make is easier to post blogs. One session I attended was on user communities within the esri ArcGIS umbrella that will help customers and employees to collaborate. The categories include: IDEAS WIKI Forums Beta Answers Community blog Workspaces Some of these communities are currently available and others are still in development. The three that they showed today were IDEAS.ArcGIS.com, wiki.GIS.com, and forums.arcgis.com - Posted using BlogPress from my iPad Location: San Diego,CA

Day 1 was a plenary session with a great deal of information. Jack Dangermond, founder /President of Esri, gave an overview of the company, the different focus areas oaf the software, and the future things to come. One announcement from Mr. Dangermond was they acquired a Swiss software firm, Procedural. Procedural develops CityEngine, software used to create 3D, urban environments from 2D data. Another highlight in my notes. ArcGIS runtime is a new lightweight platform for developers. The key points here include small footprint, fast deployment, native 64 and 32 bit, Linux and Windows support. It was mentioned that ArcGIS is or will be available for home use.... I think this more for trying / playing then using GIS software at home. A great deal of talk about the cloud was presented. I hope to attend some sessions Later in the plenary session the Esri staff listed the top 10 features of the software. This was grouped by three main business focus areas, ArcGIS server, desktop, an

Today 7/11 is the first day of the Esri conference in San Diego. After a triathlon in Boulder on Sunday then hopping on a plane to CA, I am a little tired. Thank goodness for coffee.. Also on this trip I brought my own iPad which made it much easier to blog and not have to deal with the time of booting a PC. I will try to post some pictures taken with the iPad and post them.... Note: when I tried to post a picture, I could not do it directly from the iPad. I had a couple of options. One purchase an app or use a service like photo bucket.. I used photo bucket to upload this picture from the San Diego baseball park. If they don't have a game going on you can walk down to the outfield fence....

It looks like I got off on my day numbering for each blog page but that’s ok, it’s the content that counts..   Session: Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control Deployment Best Practices This was a full house and thinking about other sessions related to Grid that I attended; they all had a good turnout.  This session focused on planning the Grid environment, especially when it is being used to manage more than databases.  One key item that I got out of this session was using the command line tool, emctl to export the Oracle Management Server (OMS) configuration (emctl exportconfig oms).   Another item that we will need to do is separate the OMS from the Oracle Management Repository (OMR), and we can do this when we move to 11g with Weblogic. An abstract name of virtual name should be used for the OMS in order to support load balancing.  This session reference the emctl command line tool for other items like tracking audit actions and other maintenance tasks.  Also the backup of the emd.
