Abstract
 Conducting An ArcIMS Dataviewer Site Track: Application Development Author(s): Michael Pordes To efficiently manage an ArcIMS site, developers should seriously consider a tool such as the ArcIMS Control Panel (ACP). The ACP facilitates rapid, effective adjustments to an ArcIMS site that will meet user requirements and deliver a first-class product. Using the analogy that an ArcIMS site is a symphony, the ACP should be considered the conductor. The ACP gives a user the ability to manage imagery, available tools, data display settings and modifications to an .mxd that is connected to an ArcIMS map service, including adding a layer. Using Web-based forms, the ACP manages information contained in an ArcIMS Controller Database (comparable to the conductor's sheet music) separate from the geo-database. This database contains tables with layer information, layer attribute display text, query and attribute visibility settings, selectable layer information, and available tools. This information is then referenced throughout the code that runs an ArcIMS site. Michael Pordes Patrick Engineering, Inc.
