ArcGIS Pro
ArcGIS Pro is a new application released as part of the ArcGIS for Desktop product. This new app combines data visualization, editing,
and analysis using local content, content from ArcGIS Online, or content from Portal for ArcGIS for both 2D and 3D data. Content can
be authored in both 2D and 3D and published as feature, map, and analysis layers.
ArcGIS Pro is a 64-bit, multithreaded application with a modern user experience that runs on the Windows platform.
Documentation
ArcGIS web help has moved to the ArcGIS for Professionals site and has been redesigned to match the new site. Many sections of the
help also incorporate more end-to-end workflow topics rather than separate topics for individual tasks.
Geoprocessing
There are a number of new tools, improvements to existing tools, and new ArcPy functions in ArcGIS 10.3.
The Generate Licensed File Geodatabase and Generate File Geodatabase License tools have been added to the File
Geodatabase toolset. Use these tools together to apply export and time restrictions to the file geodatabase data you send to clients
or other agencies.
Geostatistical Analyst
Empirical Bayesian kriging has been enhanced to better support worldwide interpolation and interpolation at the poles by using
chordal distance (an approximation of geodesic distance).
Network Analyst
Two tools have been added to the Server toolset to help you publish Network Analyst services. Each allows you to set up and solve
a network analysis all-in-one tool and provides options to help you configure your service.
Find Routes
Solve Location-Allocation
Spatial Analyst
A new tool Viewshed 2 has been added to the Surface toolset.
A new toolset containing six tools for Segmentation and Classification of rasters has been added.
For more information on these updates, see the Extensions section below.
ArcPy functions
For advanced web map printing workflows, the updateLayerFromJSON function on the arcpy.mapping.Layer class will apply
the renderer (or other layer properties) as specified in the webmap_json to the corresponding vector layers staged in a template map
document.
Mapping
Labeling
The Maplex Label Engine has had improvements made for stability, scalability and performance.
Placement improvements include:
Improved integration between street labeling and key numbering
Labels using the Never Remove parameter have improved faster placement
Labels with callouts and leaders now take halos into account when placing and have improved performance
Geodata
Geodatabases and databases
File geodatabases
You can create a license file to distribute with file geodatabases you share with other people and organizations. This helps ensure
that your data will only be used by the people you intended to use it, and you can set time limits on the data's use. See License a
file geodatabase for more information.
Desktop and workgroup geodatabases
ArcGIS for Desktop and ArcGIS for Server Workgroup include an installation of Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express, which you can
install and enable as a database server to store desktop and workgroup geodatabases. If you have an existing database server on
a previous SQL Server Express release, you can upgrade it to 2012.
Note that the installation names have changed. At ArcGIS 10.3, the installations are called Database Servers to match the ArcGIS
for Desktop user interface.
Enterprise geodatabases
ArcSDE administration command line utilities are no longer available with ArcGIS for Server. Instead, use the tools in the
Geodatabase Administration toolset of the Data Management geoprocessing toolbox and the geodatabase administration items
available from the database connection in ArcMap. See Migrate from ArcSDE administration commands for a list of common tasks
and tools.
The ArcSDE application server is no longer available with ArcGIS for Server. New connections to 10.3 and later release enterprise
geodatabases are made through database management system clients installed on the ArcGIS client machines. If you upgrade
your geodatabase to 10.3, you will need to update the existing connections used by your maps and web services to connect
through the database management system clients. You can still use an ArcSDE service to connect from ArcGIS 10.3 clients to
10.2.2, 10.2.1, 10.2, and 10.1 enterprise geodatabases.
In previous releases of the enterprise geodatabase, the default number of connections allowed was 64. This limit helped prevent
overloading the server when all or most connections to the geodatabase were made through an application server running on the
same server as the geodatabase. Beginning with 10.3, there is no limitation imposed on the number of connections to new 10.3
geodatabases or geodatabases upgraded to the 10.3 release.
ArcGIS Data Store is a new component available with ArcGIS 10.3 for Server, which allows you to easily set up a highly available
enterprise geodatabase to store data for the hosted feature layers you publish to Portal for ArcGIS. See What's new in Portal for
ArcGIS 10.3 for more information.
Enterprise geodatabases in DB2 now use a DB2 functionMON_GET_CONNECTIONto clean up connections. Grant execute
privileges on this function to your geodatabase users rather than grant SYSMON authority them. Additionally, the sde user no
longer requires SYSMON authority to create or upgrade a geodatabase in DB2. See Privileges for geodatabases in DB2 for more
information.
Databases
ArcGIS now supports the 1.0 OGC GeoPackage format. When you create SQLite databases using the CreateSQLiteDatabase
ArcPy function, you now have the option to use the GeoPackage format. You can also add GeoPackage tables to an existing
SQLite database and connect to GeoPackages you create outside of ArcGIS.
You can connect from ArcGIS for Desktop to view subsets of data from ALTIBASE and SAP HANA databases. You can use the
data in your maps and perform analysis on the data.
You can view features with z-coordinates stored in Teradata 15.0 from ArcGIS 10.3.
Raster
There is a lot of new development within the core raster functionality. There are 12 new raster functions in the latest release. There
are new rendering capabilities to help render multidimensional data using the vector field renderer. Block adjustment tools have been
added to help you more accurately geolocate items within a mosaic dataset. The Frames Camera raster type is a new raster type that
you can use to add data from a supported frame camera. The Processing Templates tab for the mosaic dataset allows you to
manage the processing templates associated with your mosaic dataset. The latest Full Motion Video Add-In will be compatible with
this version of ArcGIS.
The 12 new raster functions that have been added are ArgStatistics Function, Curvature Function, Elevation Void Fill Function,
Python Raster Function, Recast Function, Resample Function, Segment Mean Shift Function, Statistics and Histogram Function,
Transpose Bits Function, Unit Conversion Function, Vector Field Function, and Vector Field Renderer Function.
The Python Adapter function allows you to convert your Python syntax into a raster function. This allows you to perform a Python
script on the fly, just like the other raster functions. This allows you to create custom functions, which you to chain them within a raster
function chain.
Multidimensional and scientific data can now be rendered using a vector field renderer, and can also be stored as a mosaic dataset.
The vector field renderer allows you to render either one variable as a scalar, or two variables with the vector field options. These
multidimensional datasets can be stored in a mosaic dataset , using one of the three new supported raster types: GRIB, HDF, and
netCDF. The mosaic dataset provides a great data structure to store multidimensional data, since it allows you to manage the time
and vertical dimensions.
The Vector Field renderer allows you to render multidimensional or scientific data. These data types have two variables to render and
requires a special renderer. You will have the ability to render magnitude and direction or a U and V variable set.
The Block Adjustment tools allow you to properly place your mosaic dataset items in the correct geographic location, taking both
ground control points and overlapped features into account. This will not only place your data in the correct location but will also deal
with areas of overlap as well. The Block Adjustment Window provides a user interface for editing your control points for your block
adjustment.
The raster function template will be enhanced to support: three operation modes, a definition expression, and a new thumbnail. A
raster template can work in the following three modes: a regular function template that applies to a mosaic dataset or image service,
an item template that applies to a raster item, or an item group template that applies to a group of items, where the group is defined
by a group field name and tag field name. A raster function template can have a definition query, which further selects raster items
that are applicable to the template. A raster function template can have a picture to further describe what the template does.
The Frame Camera raster type allows you to add data to a mosaic dataset with the images from a supported frame camera. You
need to create a Frame Table and a Camera Table with the correct metadata in order to properly create the mosaic dataset. Once the
two tables are correctly populated, the raster type can be used to create a mosaic dataset that stores the meta information.
The Processing Template tab within the Mosaic Dataset Properties allows you to manage the processing templates associated with
your mosaic dataset. In the past, you were able to use a processing template with image services, but now you can use them on your
mosaic datasets as well.
The latest version of Full Motion Video is version 1.2 and it will be a compatible with this version of ArcMap. The Full Motion Video
allows you to play live streams of video or video files in your map.
Parcel editing
Regenerate fabric
The Regenerate Fabric command has been moved to the Parcel Editor menu on the Parcel Editing toolbar.
Parcel construction
At ArcGIS 10.3, you can choose to merge collinear parcel line segments into a single straight line when building parcels from
construction lines. Parcel lines must be collinear; that is, there must be no bend angle at the points where the lines connect. Choose
Merge connected lines at points where there is no bend on the Advanced tab on the Parcel Editor Options dialog box.
The following improvements have been made to prevent building parcels with dangling lines, building sliver parcels, and building
parcels with inconsistent dimensions:
Construction points that lie very close to neighboring lines are detected and highlighted in the construction grid. These points
can be easily snapped to their closest neighboring line.
Inconsistent bearing and distance dimensions are highlighted in the construction grid.
Construction points are highlighted in the construction grid when the construction line does not connect to any other
construction line in the network.
Services
For a summary of new and improved functionality available in ArcGIS 10.3 for Server and ArcGIS 10.3 Web Adaptor, see What's new in
ArcGIS 10.3 for Server. For Portal for ArcGIS, see What's new in Portal for ArcGIS 10.3.
Extensions
ArcGIS 3D Analyst extension
The LAS dataset now supports ZLAS & LAS 1.4 files.
Parallel decompression for Optimized LAS (zLAS) in ArcMap, ArcScene, and geoprocessing.
New default color ramps are used by the LAS dataset layer for elevation, return, and scan angle.
Greatly improved performance for visibility analysis is possible with this tool on systems that have a GPU (Graphics
Processing Unit) available, provided that your machine has an appropriate NVIDIA graphics card with CUDA compute
capability 2.0 or opencl 1.2, and a current driver.
It optionally accommodates vertical uncertainty in the input surface and produces an observer-visible region relationship
table for up to 32 observers (points, multipoints or polylines) which can be related back to the input observer feature class.
Because this use of GPU processors is new to the ArcGIS system, please be sure to read carefully the How Viewshed 2 works help
topic along with the tool help. There is also is a technical article, FAQ: Release notes for the Viewshed 2 tool , which provides
more specific requirements and configuration details to help you get the maximum benefit from using this tool.
Segmentation and Classification toolset
With the Segmentation and Classification toolset, you can prepare segmented rasters to use in creating classified raster datasets.
The available tools are:
Classify Raster
Configure ArcGIS Server with your organization's highly available LDAP server
When you configure ArcGIS Server with your organization's LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) identity store, you can only
specify one LDAP server in ArcGIS Server Manager. If your organization includes multiple LDAP servers, you can specify the additional
servers using the ArcGIS Server Administrator Directory. This allows you to configure your organization's highly-available LDAP with
ArcGIS Server. For full instructions, see Configuring a highly available LDAP with ArcGIS Server.
Preserve the layer and table IDs of map and feature services
In ArcGIS 10.2.2 for Server and earlier, the layer and table IDs of a map and feature services were not preserved after altering the
source map document. This required you to update any client applications consuming the service to use the updated layer and table
IDs.
In ArcGIS 10.3 for Server, you can now preserve the IDs of layers and tables in map and feature services. When you create or alter a
map document, an option is now available that automatically generates immutable IDs for each layer and table in the map document. If
you select this option, the layer and table IDs are preserved after publishing or republishing; you are no longer required to alter client
applications that consume the map service. If desired, you can replace the auto-generated IDs with your own custom IDs.
For full instructions, see Map authoring considerations.
Open the Administrator Directory and log in as a user with administrator privileges. The URL is typically
http://gisserver.domain.com:6080/arcgis/admin.

Click Update.
Extension, you can use ArcGIS Server Cloud Builder on Amazon Web Services or the Amazon Web Services console to create a site
using the ArcGIS for Server AMIs.
Amazon introduced a multi-availability zone (multi-AZ) deployment for their Relational Database Services. Beginning with the ArcGIS
10.3 Server for Amazon Web Services machine images, this deployment is used by default when you include an Amazon Relational
Database Service for SQL Server instance with your site.
ArcGIS Server creates temporary files for certain types of services in a location referred to as the output directory. Temporary files are
also created by geoprocessing services to write information about jobs in process and their results. These are stored in the jobs
directory. Since these files are temporary, instances you create from ArcGIS Server Cloud Builder on Amazon Web Services are
created in directories on an ephemeral drive.

Publish hosted tiles from a hosted feature layer
You can publish a tile layer from an existing hosted feature layer. This is useful if you do not have ArcGIS products installed locally. For
example, you can publish a CSV file as a feature layer, and then publish that feature layer as a tile layer.

Gallery enhancements
The gallery has been redesigned to help you find your organization's featured content and items you have designated as favorites. The
gallery also includes better tools for sorting and filtering items.
Content enhancements
The following new file types can be added to My Content:
Layer (.lyrx)
Layout (.pagx)
When you add a file geodatabase to My Content, you have the option to publish the supported contents of the file geodatabase as a
feature layer. Supported layer types are two-dimensional feature classes, nonspatial tables, relationship classes, and attachments.
Several enhancements have been made to item details.
When you add a CSV file or image file to your portal and share it with everyone (public), the details page displays the URL. Use
the URL to reference the file as a layer in web apps and pop-ups.
Members with privileges to add content to the portal can enable delete protection on the items they do not want accidentally
removed from the site, for example, layers within featured maps and maps within featured apps.
You can edit the URL of an ArcGIS Server service layer you've moved to a different server.
Authors choose whether or not to allow others to save a copy of their map. Set save as option from within the edit mode of the
map item details page.
Hosted feature layer owners and portal administrators can export data from hosted feature layers to CSV or shapefiles (.zip). As
the owner of a hosted feature layer, you can choose whether nonadministrators can download data.
Search
When adding layers to your map, you can search for layers from your favorites.
You can now configure feature search on layers in your map. This allows people to locate features on your map using the
search box at the top of the map viewer. For example, you could enable search on your parcel layer so users could find
specific parcels. Map users select the parcel layer in the search box and enter the parcel ID they want to find, and the map
zooms to the parcel and shows a pop-up with attribute information.
If your portal uses the World Geocoding Service or if the portal administrator has configured the portal to use a geocode
service that is enabled for suggestions, the geocoder in the map viewer suggests matches as you type an address or place. If
you do not use one of the geocoder's suggested locations when you search and find that the location on the map isn't what
you wanted, click the Not what you wanted? link in the window and choose a different location from the list.
Layers
Authors can make a copy of a layer in their map; configure different properties on the copied layer, such as pop-ups and
symbols; and save the layer as a new item. You can also save layers you import to your map, such as CSV and map notes.
Saved layers become referenced in the map, and changes made from the map are saved in the item if you are the item
owner.
There is no longer a 1,000-record limit when adding GeoRSS layers or GPX, CSV, or text files containing latitude and
longitude values to the map viewer.
13
You can set a refresh interval on CSV layers from the web that contain latitude and longitude fields. Enabling a refresh
interval keeps your maps in sync with the latest data while the map is open. For example, you could set a refresh interval of
five minutes on a live earthquake layer and the earthquake data would update every five minutes while the map was open.
The Esri basemap system has been further optimized for even higher performance and scalability. The upgrade also includes
support for WMTS access to the maps as well as support for tile resampling, in which most Map data not yet
available tiles have been replaced with resampled map tiles from the most detailed level available.
You can drag layers in the Contents pane to change their order.
Map layout
Members can set the map units they see for the scale bar, measure tool, and directions by editing their profile page.
Time-enabled layers include an option to disable the time animation so the time slider does not appear on the map.
More options are available to change symbols. You can now set rotation angle on point symbols by an angle in a field
allowing the symbol to reflect a direction, for example, the direction the wind is blowing or a vehicle is traveling. New symbols
have been added that are appropriate for indicating a direction or heading. To help show the relative size of your data,
normalize your data based on percent of total or by a field such as area. You can vary the width of lines to show, for example,
the volume of traffic along highways, and use size to display a graduated point symbol over a polygon to show, for example,
population values. You can also now change single symbols in single-layer GeoRSS layers.
Three new collections of symbols and map notes templates are available for showing the location of natural disasters,
infrastructure, and infrastructure damage.
Authors can add text symbols to their map when using map notes layers with the Map Notes, Park Planning, or Recreation
template.
You can now create labels for features in a layer. To display labels for a layer, select one or more attributes you want to show,
for example, the name or type of feature. The map viewer automatically places labels on the map on or near the features they
describe. You can control the text size, color, and style to help differentiate labels from different layers.
You can now configure pop-ups to show related data in your map layers. Related data is shown in a table at the bottom of the
map. Create data relationships in ArcGIS for Desktop and publish the data to your portal or ArcGIS for Server (version 10.1 or
later is required).
Directions
You can have up to 20 destinations in the directions you create in the map viewer.
A new Route All Features option on the layer menu is available for point layers. This option allows you to add the points as
the origin and destinations for directions. If the layer includes a sequence field, the points are ordered based on this field.
The map viewer includes guided tours to help you learn how to make and style a map. The tours appear in the About panel
when signed in to the portal with an account that has privileges to create items. For the best experience, follow each step of
the tour.
A simplified map viewer opens if you are not signed in to the portal. This makes it easier to explore maps for casual,
anonymous users. The simplified viewer includes such functionality as the ability to show tables, edit features, change
symbols, share, and view data through time.
You can add layers or configure pop-ups in the map viewer even when you are not signed in to the portal by clicking Modify
Map. However, you cannot save the map if you are not signed in to the portal. The Modify Map option is not present if the
author of the map you opened has enabled save as protection on the map.
World Geocoding Service has been enhanced for ten countries, including new mile markers for Puerto Rico and address
points in Singapore, India, and Thailand.

Find, Edit, and Filter is a new configurable app template that allows you to search for features, edit, set attribute values, and
filter content.
Summary Viewer is a new configurable app template that summarizes the numeric attributes of features in a specified
operational layer within the visible map area. The summaries can be configured to show the sum, average, minimum, and
maximum of specified field values.
Panels is a new configurable application template that allows you to display an ArcGIS web map with a legend, description, and
basic map tools.
Public Information is a new, fully configurable mapping app that allows you to incorporate content from social media sites.
Parcel Viewer has been renamed to Finder to reflect that it is useful for more than just parcel searches.
Elevation Profile is a configurable application template used to display the elevation profile for a selected feature or a measured
line along a web map.
Legend is a new version of the retired Legend template (see the next bullet list for retired templates). The new Legend template
has more configuration options than the retired template, such as multiple color schemes, a configurable header and footer,
control over the legend and description location, and the ability to enable location searches.
Map Journal is a configurable story map app template that allows you to present a map-based narrative organized into a set of
journal entries. It is designed for creating compelling multimedia stories that combine text, graphics, and maps, especially where
you have a lot of text and detail you want to convey. You can specify what the maps will show and how they will behave as
people read through your journal. Two different layout options are provided. The app includes an interactive builder for helping
you configure your own story.
Local Perspective is a new configurable app template for highlighting features from a map based on a user-selected location or
address. In addition to your data, you can include demographics, lifestyle, and live weather information, and enable driving
directions.
The Basic Viewer, Simple Map Viewer, and Filter templates now support feature search.
Due to the popularity of the original Basic Viewer, the original version has been renamed to Classic Viewer and is still available
in the default map viewer template gallery.
Legend
GPX
One Pane
Two Panel
You can still use a retired template to create and publish apps by sharing them (and any other Esri template) to your custom template
gallery.
