MondayFriday 4:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Pacific Time. You can also contact Accela Customer
Resource Center through the website at http://www.accela.com/services/support-login.

Hardware and Software Requirements

For information about the hardware and software requirements for Accela GIS, see the
Supported Environments chapter in the corresponding Accela Automation Release Notes.

Note:

If you install Accela GIS on Windows Server 2008 R2 and on

Windows Server 2012 or 2012 R2, you must add required roles,
role services, and features on the server. For information about
minimum required roles, role services, and features, see
Appendix A: Windows Server 2008 R2 Configuration on page 23
and Appendix B: Windows Server 2012 or 2012 R2

Registering ASP.NET Applications with Internet Information

Services
You do not need to complete any manual Internet Information Services (IIS) configuration to set
up Accela GIS. The Accela GIS installer completes the necessary IIS configuration. If you
enable IIS on the Accela GIS server before you install the .NET Framework, the setup process
for the .NET Framework automatically registers ASP.NET applications with IIS. However, if you
install .NET Framework before you enable IIS, you need to use the aspnet_regiis.exe tool to
complete the registration process. For more information, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/
library/k6h9cz8h(v=VS.100).aspx and http://www.devx.com/vb2themax/Tip/18849.

Integrating Accela GIS with Other Accela Products

Accela GIS works with the same version of Accela Automation, Accela Citizen Access, and
Accela Mobile Office. To use Accela GIS offline mapping functionality, you must install and
license the ArcGIS Engine software on each Accela Mobile Office workstation.

C HAPTER 2:

INSTALLATION

This chapter provides instructions about fresh and upgrade installation for the Accela GIS
server and its related components. The components include the Accela GIS Administration site,
the Accela GIS Map Viewer, the Accela GIS Servlet, the Accela GIS External APO Web
Service, and the Accela GIS Server Version Checker.
There are two Accela GIS install files: AGIS_7.3.3.0.0_<Build Number>.exe and
AGIS(Javascript)_7.3.3.0.0_<Build Number>.exe.

AGIS_7.3.3.0.0_<Build Number>.exe installs Accela GIS (see Installing Accela GIS on

MIGRATION

Accela provides two GIS applications: Accela GIS Classic and Accela GIS. You can choose one
of these Accela GIS applications to install, configure, and use in your Accela Automation
environment.
If your agency currently uses Accela GIS Classic, you can migrate to Accela GIS. Complete the
migration steps described in this chapter to migrate your agencys existing GIS data from
Accela GIS Classic to Accela GIS.
Topics

Switching GIS Version

Updating the XAPO Source URL

Setting up a Map Service in ArcGIS Server

Switching GIS Version

The first step in migrating from Accela GIS Classic to Accela GIS is to change the GIS version
from Accela GIS Classic to Accela GIS.
To change the GIS version from Accela GIS Classic to Accela GIS

1. Navigate to Accela Automation.

2. Select Admin Tools > GIS > GIS Version Switch.
Accela Automation displays the GIS Version Switch page.

3. Mark the Accela GIS button in the GIS Version area.

4. Click the Submit button.
Accela Automation changes the GIS version from Accela GIS Classic to Accela GIS.

Accela GIS Installation Guide

3: Migration 20

Updating the XAPO Source URL

The second step in migrating from Accela GIS Classic to Accela GIS is to update the source
URL for external APO (address, parcel, and owner) data. External data can come from any
external resource. One possible external resource is Accela GIS. If your agency uses Accela
GIS as its XAPO source, you need to perform this step to update the source URL for the
external data in the External APO Standard Choices. These Standard Choices include
EXTERNAL_ADDRESS_SOURCE, EXTERNAL_OWNER_SOURCE, and
EXTERNAL_PARCEL_SOURCE. Otherwise, proceed to next step.
Accela GIS and Accela Automation communicate through a web service to leverage external
address, parcel, and owner data. Accela GIS data fields are mapped to the corresponding
Accela Automation fields for each address, parcel, and owner.
For instructions on creating a Standard Choice, see Working with Standard Choices in the
Accela Automation Configuration Reference.
To set the source URL for external APO

1. Navigate to Accela Automation.

2. Select Admin Tools > Agency Profile > Standard Choices.
Accela Automation displays the Standard Choices Search page.

3. Find the External APO Standard Choice you want to work with.
Accela Automation displays the Standard Choices Item - Edit page.

4. In the Source URL row, enter this URL: http://agisservername/agis/xapo.asmx?WSDL,

where agisservername is the Accela GIS server name or IP: Port and agis is the Accela
GIS virtual root name.
Accela Automation recognizes the new source URL.

Accela GIS Installation Guide

3: Migration 21

5. Click the Update button.

Accela Automation updates the Standard Choice settings.

Setting up a Map Service in ArcGIS Server

The third step in migrating from Accela GIS Classic to Accela GIS is to set up a map service in
ArcGIS Server. To maintain your agencys existing GIS data links in Accela Automation
database, the map service(s) you set up in ArcGIS Server must correspond to the map
service(s) created for ArcIMS and used in Accela GIS Classic.
Accela Automation data is linked to agency GIS data through four values: Agency Name, Map
Service Name, Layer Name, and Layer ID Field Value. For existing Accela Automation data to
work, these four values must remain the same.
For instructions on setting up a map service in ArcGIS Server, refer to the documentation that
accompanied your ArcGIS Server license.
The ArcGIS Server map service elements listed in List 1: Map Service Elements must have the
same names as the ArcIMS map service elements.
List 1: Map Service Elements

Agency Name

An agency name identifies the agency of which the map service is in use.

Map Service Name

A map service name identifies a specific map service in your agencys GIS
server, such as ArcGIS Server. Typically, the name of a map service
corresponds to the agency that uses the map service, such as Petaluma
or Bridgeview.
When you migrate from Accela GIS Classic to Accela GIS, you must enter
the same AA GIS Service ID in the Accela GIS Administration setting as
existing GIS Service ID in Accela Automation Classic.

Accela GIS Installation Guide

3: Migration 22

List 1: Map Service Elements (Continued)

Layer Name

Map layer names identify a specific feature class on a map. For example,
you might have map layers for fire hydrants, street lights, railroads, parks,
and parcels.
When you migrate from Accela GIS Classic to Accela GIS, the map layers
you create in ArcGIS Server must have the exact same names as the
existing map layers created in the ArcIMS map service.
Accela recommends that you maintain the ArcIMS map service layer
names. If it is not feasible to maintain the ArcIMS map service layer
names, update the related Accela GIS tables in the Accela Automation
database. There might also be EMSE scripts using layer names. In this
case, update the scripts.
For more information on working with map layers, see Importing and
Configuring Map Layer Settings in the Accela GIS Administrator Guide.

Layer ID Field Value

Layer ID field values link a map layers GIS data with Accela Automation
data. The data in this field must have non-empty, non-null, unique values.
Accela recommends creating an ID field, such as HYDRANTID, and using
it as the Layer ID field value. This way, you can maintain the consistency
of data during migration.
If a database default ID field, such as OBJECTID, is used as a linking field,
there is a possibility that the link between Accela GIS and Accela
Automation is broken during migration. If you enable the Accela GIS
editing functionality, you cannot use OBJECTED as Layer ID field.
Set the Layer ID field using the Accela GIS Administration tool. When you
migrate from Accela GIS Classic to Accela GIS, the field you select as the
Layer ID field must contain the same data it previously contained.
For more information on working with Layer ID fields, see Importing and
Configuring Map Layer Settings in the Accela GIS Administrator Guide.
