Raster Projection Issues

It has come to our attention rasters are not projecting properly. GeoStor staff have been in communication with Safe Software for two days and they have identified a bug in FME 2009 and FME 2010. Safe Software has elevated this to their top priority and will provide a fix as soon as possible.

All users should make note of this raster projection issue. We will post a notice as soon as the issue is resolved.

Apologies for cross-postings, you will receive a similar note if you have downloaded rasters from GeoStor this week.

GeoStor Issues

We are experiencing some serious issues with Apache Tomcat right now so the entire GeoStor 5.0 site is down. I have redirected all the traffic to the new site so please use that until we can determine what is causing Tomcat to crash within minutes of starting up.

3 Bugs found during Beta Testing

Thank you to those who have been testing the GeoStor 6.0 currently in beta. Three bugs have been brought to our attention. We have 're-opened' access to GeoStor 5.0 "Find Data" for downloading until we can get the issues resolved at which time we will resume testing.

Summary of Bugs:
1. Raster downloads fail to submit the requested file and perform requested actions (format, projection)
2. Vector downloads fail to submit the requested file and perform requested actions (format, projection)
3. DRG are being delievered with null values related to black

We will be working to resolve these issues as quickly as possible.

New Data on Beta Site

We are pleased to announce the availability of Public Water Systems & Electric Service Territories via http://www.geostor.arkansas.gov.

Public Water Systems was developed by the Arkansas Department of Health. Work is still underway but a significant amount of progress has been made.

Electric Service Territories was developed by a number of electric service providers. AGIO staff compiled their work into a single file. This file is also still under development, but a significant amount of the state has been covered.

Look for more updates in the coming months.

Exciting Times

GeoStor 6.0 was released as beta on April 13, 2009. We have learned a lot the past few weeks. Our original intent was for GeoStor 5.0 to go dark on June 20, 2009. We are still moving toward that goal, but will be doing so in a ‘slower’ manner.

In the coming weeks you will begin to notice links to GeoStor 5.0 will redirect you to the beta version. Do not be alarmed. This is only intended to assist in additional beta testing. Dates to be aware of:
June 8, 2009: Various links on the GeoStor 5.0 Homepage will redirect to GeoStor 6.0
June 17, 2009: Various ArcIMS Services will be stopped. Ones we plan to keep will be accessible via http://www.geostor.arkansas.gov/arcgis/services (click here to learn how to connect)
BASEMAP
ELEVA_DEM_HSHADE_ASPECT
GEOSTOR_ALL_FEATURE_LAYERS
IMAGE_DRGIMAGE_LULC
IMAGE_ORTHO
IMAGE_THEMATIC_MAPPER

Our intent is to leave the geostor.arkansas.gov DNS in place and redirect it to beta.geostor.arkansas.gov when the final transition is completed. We believe this will prevent you from having to reconnect to the various services when GeoStor 6.0 goes to full production. We are still investigating this and apologize for any inconvenience.

We are continuing to work with the application custodians and hope to have their applications transitioned and fully functional by the end of the month. We also anticipate the addition of some more data by the end of the month. Watch for updates.

As always, please drop a note if you have problems.
