TRANSCRIPT
The Fellowship of Asset ManagementBy: Mike Morris and Rick Ehlin
2009 Utility Work Flow
Noblesville GIS
GIS- centric Asset Management System Built specifically for ESRI ArcGIS Service Requests Work Orders Inspection Projects
Cityworks
Two Flavors
Desktop
Requires at least an ArcEngine license
Must be installed on every computer
Initial Cost is low Software Maintenance on
every computer Only 35 users for the Utility
Server
Requires ArcServer license
Only need intranet access Initial Cost is high Software Maintenance on
one computer Great for multiple users
Local Lead the Nation in Implementations Familiar Staff
Woolpert
Decide what Assets (features) were going to be used
Place all Assets in one file geodatabase Add “non-feature” assets to file geodatabase Related those “non-feature” assets to feature
assets Create an AssetID field for every feature
Steps to implementation
Create Work Orders Create Service Requests Create Inspections Employee List with security Material List Equipment List
Steps- continued
GIS installed either ArcEngine or ArcView plus Cityworks Desktop on each computer
Trained supervisors on Cityworks and Administration
Lastly- trained all Operators Go Live- Fall of 2009 (6 to 9 months)
Almost There
Cityworks Anywhere
17 Users Unlimited Cityworks Desktop licenses 7 Concurrent ArcView licenses GIS haves- Centerlines, street lights and
some trees GIS have nots- sign posts, rest of trees,
cemetery, sidewalks and maintenance buildings
Streets
8 Users Unlimited Cityworks Desktop Licenses 7 Concurrent ArcView licenses GIS haves- park boundary and trails GIS have nots- park activity areas, park
structures (grills, water fountains, etc), park buildings
Golf- no GIS at all
Parks
Cityworks Recap for Departments
Utilities Go live 2009 35 users 15 ArcEngine (Computer Specific)
and 7 ArcView Concurrent Streets
Go live 2011 17 users 7 ArcView Concurrent
Parks Go live 2011 (Limited) 8 users 7 ArcView Concurrent
Future?
PROBLEM?
Solution
Initially looked to County to host map services
ArcGIS Server Standard Workgroup
File Geodatabase Virtual server
Benefits Lower costs
Purchase Maintenance
Functionality Limitations
10 simultaneous multi-user geodatabase connections
10 GB storage capacity Single-server installation only for up to 4 cores
ArcGIS Server Standard Workgroup
Supports existing editing processes No additional administration
ArcSDE tuning ArcSDE administration DBMS tuning
No practical size limit
File Geodatabase
Decision made in 2011 Work began early 2012 Cityworks Server 2012 SP1 in test
environment on April 23 Went live July 9
Migration to Server
Problems or what we would do different
Problems Reporting is difficult Runs on Silverlight
Done different Visit another
Cityworks site Stayed on one
Domain
Future
Bring more departments on (Engineering)
Fine tune the inspection and print templates
