How ironic... My new job (just passed 2 months here) is working for a geotech firm as a GIS application developer.
Please don't bother me... I'm hacking code right now. Doesn't anybody remember what "hacking" really means? :sigh:

:doh: Yes, good old ESRI fun and joy. My current big project is a custom macro toolbar programmed in ArcMap VBA that uses the ID from a spatial object to look up data in a group of related Access databases scattered across the network; I'm revamping it into an ArcIMS intranet site with a supplemental ASP.NET site that hits an Oracle database containing the migrated data from all those Access DBs. Should be lots of fun, considering nobody in my office has any experience with ArcIMS at all and we're going to have to call in some help from the Nashville branch. Still... it's definitely unlike any other programming job I've ever had before... :-D

ArcIMS is a real pain to work with, the connector API's are not friendly at all. Are yall looking to use the java connector or are you on a newer version where you can do .net. My love and hate is trully SDE. It is so rare to find DB's skilled in SDE that I have often had to do the work myself. Aaron

I honestly don't know at this point; we're still drawing up specs right now. We recommended ArcGIS Server but the client already has ArcIMS, which is why we're using that instead. Luckily, another organization has total control over the database side, so they'll be setting up SDE for us: we just have to hook into that without worrying too much about the configuration. We're trying to keep costs down on this project as much as possible because the client is already kind of leery of GIS in general. Their ESRI rep convinced the last business manager that since they had about 30 people using ArcView at any given time.... they needed 30 licenses. And not floating licenses, either. :doh: That's the big reason they want to move to the web: last year's maintenance fee was on the order of $30k.

If you are working with 9.2 your going to have fun with the licensing. In 9.2 they move ArcIMS to the GISServer platform as well as SDE. So if you have 9.2 or are using 9.2 you might allready have arcgis server through your sde licensing. Of course, based on the level of the license, you might not have editing capabilities. At this years developer summit, the biggest complaint was ArcGIS Server's SDE and IMS licensing. AAron

No such luck; their 30 ArcView licenses are all still 9.1 as far as I know. Apparently, the main reason they want to move to ArcIMS is because their IT guys already have it and they want to use it to consolidate their connections to the GIS system and abandon the 30 ArcView licenses. There's probably more to it, but I just came on board at the company and they've been planning this migration for most of the past year.
