To support these activities, you take advantage of observability tools for understanding the usage patterns of your organization.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Two key highlights of this release for GIS Administrators are the About page for easily accessible deployment information and the service usage by user report for insights into services usage trends. Plus, there are multiple advancements in organization administration, content management, and data management.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The new \u2018About\u2019 <\/strong>experience is available within the ArcGIS Enterprise portal. While information about hardware, configuration, and licen<\/span>sing has previously been available throughout various APIs within ArcGIS Enterprise,<\/span> this feature now consolidates valuable information about the ArcGIS Enterprise deployment into a single, easily accessible location<\/span>.\u00a0 <\/span>Administrators can view information including machine names, CPU, RAM, operating systems, and license types. <\/span>This centralized view of deployment information supports strategic planning, financial reviews, and resource acquisition decisions.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Another notable enhancement is the <\/span>service usage by user report<\/strong>, now available within the ArcGIS Server Administrator API. This report builds on the existing ArcGIS Server reporting capabilities by providing a more granular perspective on service usage. Administrators can now see the number of times a service was accessed, broken down by each unique user. This feature offers valuable insights into how content is being accessed within the organization, enabling administrators to identify usage trends by various organization members. By understanding which users are accessing specific services most frequently, administrators can better tailor their strategies to meet the needs of different organization members.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Delete protection<\/strong> has been significantly improved, allowing GIS administrators to manage delete protection for multiple items owned by the same organization member. This ensures that important data is safeguarded from accidental deletion, enhancing data integrity and security.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Additionally, GIS administrators now have greater control over <\/span>ArcGIS Pro offline usage<\/strong>. They can manage settings that determine whether members can take ArcGIS Pro licenses offline, whether the license remains offline until it expires, or if it can only be taken offline for a specified period. This flexibility empowers organizations to balance offline access with the security requirements of their licenses, ensuring that critical data remains accessible and protected.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Several updates at 11.5 improve content management, one highlight being the integration of <\/strong><\/span>deep learning models with ArcGIS Living Atlas content<\/strong>. GIS administrators can now browse and add individual deep learning models from ArcGIS Living Atlas to their organization. When updates are made to these models in ArcGIS Online, GIS administrators can deploy the updates to their organization, ensuring that members have access to the latest and most accurate models. This integration expands the capabilities of deep learning tools across ArcGIS, facilitating more advanced and accurate analyses.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The <\/span>item details page<\/strong> has also been enhanced to provide more options for managing map image layers and feature layers. For map image layers, users can now specify the maximum number of features that can be highlighted in an export request, giving them greater control over the data they share. For feature layers, administrators can enable members to append data and edit shared templates directly from the item details page, facilitating collaboration and improving data management.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n T<\/span>his<\/span> is the final release of ArcGIS Enterprise to include support for the <\/span>ArcGIS Data Store <\/span><\/strong><\/span>tile cache data store<\/span><\/span><\/strong> in ArcGIS Enterprise. GIS administrators are encouraged to <\/span>migrate <\/span>any existing <\/span>hosted scene layer caches<\/span> from the tile cache data store<\/span> to the object store<\/span> to ensure continued support and access. This transition is crucial for preparing for ArcGIS Enterprise 12.0, where the tile cache data store will no longer be supported<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>You can l<\/span>earn more about migrating to the object store in <\/span><\/span>this blog<\/span><\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Additionally, this release expands support for <\/span><\/span>date time field types<\/span><\/span><\/strong>. Date only, time only, and big integer field types can now be added to sync-enabled hosted feature layers. <\/span>Th<\/span>is<\/span> update<\/span> expand<\/span>s<\/span> the range of data types that can be used<\/span> offline<\/span> and shared via distributed collaboration<\/span>, enhancing the flexibility and functionality of hosted feature layers. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Lastly, <\/span><\/span>Snowflake\u2019s <\/span>key-pair authentication<\/span><\/span><\/strong> is now supported <\/span>for use<\/span> with ArcGIS <\/span>Enterprise<\/span>. <\/span>Users can <\/span>create <\/span>new data store items<\/span> using <\/span>key<\/span>-pair <\/span>authentication<\/span> for Snowflak<\/span>e, <\/span>and <\/span>they can <\/span>also <\/span>update <\/span>existing <\/span>one<\/span>s<\/span> to <\/span>use <\/span>key-pair authentication instead of<\/span> user <\/span>authentication (Username<\/span> and Password).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":" IT administrators will benefit from enhanced security and a smoother maintenance experience.<\/span> As an IT administrator, you are responsible for the installation, maintenance, and tuning of your ArcGIS Enterprise deployment. You ensure the system is secure, performant, and up to date.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>One important improvement that will affect IT administrators is audit logging for ArcGIS Server events, accompanied by several updates for installation, upgrades, and backups, and the ArcGIS Data Store.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n
