What's new in ArcView Spatial Analyst
Version 1.1?
The ArcView Spatial Analyst Version 1.1 extension provides a broad range
of powerful spatial modeling and analysis features to desktop users. This
extension allows you to create, query, map, and analyze cell-based raster
data and to perform integrated vector-raster analysis.
What's new in ArcView Spatial Analyst Version 1.1
-
A new menu interface. This was changed to coincide with the new ArcView
3D AnalystTM extension. There is overlapping
functionality in these extensions that is presented in the same manner
whether you load ArcView Spatial Analyst, 3D Analyst, or both. Instead
of just having an Analysis menu, the surface related options have all been
moved over into a Surface menu.
-
The ability to work with the ArcView 3D Analyst extension. ArcView Spatial
Analyst Version 1.1 has been released at the same time as ArcView 3D Analyst
Version 1.0 so that they may be loaded and used at the same time.
Prior versions of ArcView Spatial Analyst are not supported when 3D Analyst
is installed.
-
Critical enhancements and improvements in quality, including some new functionality
at the AvenueTM request level, and bug
fixes.
-
The visibility request, Calculate Viewshed, was added to the Surface menu.
Also, the visibility request now respects the Analysis properties.
-
The Grid Manager, on the File menu, was renamed Manage Data Sources.
The new Source Manager provides management for shapefiles as well as grids.
-
Four new requests were added:
Grid.CalcPolynomialFit - performs a linear least squares fit to a list
of links
aGrid.StreamToPolyLineFTab - converts a linear network to a polyline
shapefile
aGrid.AsPointFTab - converts a grid to a point shapefile
aGrid.AsPolyLineFTab - converts a grid to a polyline shapefile
ArcView Spatial Analyst Version 1.0 or 1.0a Project Files
When projects created with ArcView Spatial Analyst Version 1.0 or 1.0a
are opened in ArcView Spatial Analyst Version 1.1, you will be asked to
update the interface to reflect the new look and feel. Projects created
with ArcView Spatial Analyst Version 1.1 will not be compatible with ArcView
Spatial Analyst Version 1.0 or 1.0a.

Installing ArcView Spatial Analyst
Version 1.1 and sample data
Important Note:
If you have previously edited your ArcView Spatial
Analyst Version 1.0 or 1.0a spatial.cnt file:
Installing ArcView Spatial Analyst Version 1.1
will overwrite this file. Save this file to another location before installing.
Once ArcView Spatial Analyst Version 1.1 is installed, put the edits from
the saved spatial.cnt into the newly installed spatial.cnt.
Installing ArcView Spatial Analyst Version 1.1 for
ArcView GIS Version 3.1
Note: Be sure you are installing the correct version of ArcView
Spatial Analyst with the correct version of ArcView. The following
steps describe how to install ArcView Spatial Analyst Version 1.1 for ArcView
GIS Version 3.1.
1. Insert the ArcView Spatial Analyst Version 1.1 CD in your CD-ROM
drive.
2. Become root user (excluding Solaris 2.x,
and IRIX 6.x):
% su
You will be prompted for your root user password. If you do not know
this password, contact your system administrator.
3. If a cdrom directory does not exist, create it using the following
command:
# mkdir /cdrom
4. To mount the ArcView Spatial Analyst CD, use one of the following
for your installation platform (where <dev> stands for the CD-ROM device):
Digital UNIX
mount -t cdfs -r -o nodefperm,rrip
/<dev> /cdrom
HP 9000/700
mount -F cdfs -r /<dev> /cdrom
(or use sam)
IBM RS/6000 mount
-v 'cdrfs' -p'' -r'' /<dev> /cdrom (or use
smit)
SGI
IRIX 6.x automatically mounts the CD as /CDROM
Solaris 2.x
Includes the Volume ManagementTM software
that automatically
mounts the CD, providing immediate access to your CD-ROM
5. Once the ArcView Spatial Analyst CD is mounted, exit root user mode:
# exit
6. The "install" command has five options from which to select:
Usage: install <-help | -load |
-remove | -verify | -lmhostid>.
Use the "-help" option to read
more about the installation procedure.
7. Before starting the ArcView Spatial Analyst CD installation for your
platform, go to where your arcview3 directory is located:
% cd $AVHOME
% cd ..
Note: You will need to have write permission to your $AVHOME directory.
For more information about the $AVHOME directory, please
refer to the ArcView GIS Installation Guide
(av31install.html) located in your $AVHOME/avdocs directory or on the ArcView
GIS Version 3.1 CD.
8. To start the installation for the ArcView Spatial Analyst and tutorial
data, type one of the following for your installation platform:
Digital UNIX
/cdrom/spat11_31/osf/install -load
HP 9000/700
/cdrom/spat11_31/hpux/install -load
IBM RS/6000 /cdrom/spat11_31/ibm/install
-load
SGI
/CDROM/spat11_31/sgi/install -load
Solaris 2.x
/cdrom/cdrom0/spat11_31/solaris/install
-load
This starts the dialog for the menu-driven installation procedure.
Default selections are noted in brackets [ ]. To obtain a list of options
or on-line help, type "?" at any prompt. You can quit the installation
procedure at any time by typing quit or "q". To return to a previous question,
type a caret, "^".
Do not accept the default CD-ROM mount point when installing ArcView
Spatial Analyst, instead, the CD-ROM mount point should read as follows:
/cdrom/spat11_31/<platform>
/cdrom/cdrom0/spat11_31/solaris
(Solaris 2.x only)
Note: The path name you specify as the ArcView Spatial Analyst
installation directory should be the same as the path to your arcview3
directory and can't contain any uppercase letters.
Installing the sample data
The ArcView Spatial Analyst CD contains 300 MB of sample data for use
with the ArcView Spatial Analyst. To start the installation, type one of
the following for your installation platform:
Digital UNIX
/cdrom/spat11_31/osf/install -load
HP 9000/700
/cdrom/spat11_31/hpux/install -load
IBM RS/6000 /cdrom/spat11_31/ibm/install
-load
SGI
/CDROM/spat11_31/sgi/install -load
Solaris 2.x
/cdrom/cdrom0/spat11_31/solaris/install
-load
The CD-ROM
mount point should read as follows:
/cdrom/spatdata
/cdrom/cdrom0/spatdata (Solaris
2.x only)
Note: The size of the sample data is approximately 300 MB.

Setting up your account
1. Setting the HOME environment variable.
The HOME environment variable ($HOME) must be set to a directory that
you have write access to.
2. Setting the LIBRARY PATH variable.
All platforms need to set the LIBRARY PATH to include the ArcView lib
directory:
Digital UNIX
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $AVHOME/lib:/usr/shlib
HP 9000/700
setenv SHLIB_PATH $AVHOME/lib
IBM RS/6000
setenv LIBPATH $AVHOME/lib:/usr/lib:/lib
SGI
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $AVHOME/lib:/usr/lib
Solaris2
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $AVHOME/lib:/usr/openwin/lib:/usr/ucblib
3. Then, at the command line prompt,
% source .cshrc
Note: You cannot start ArcView and ArcView Spatial Analyst until
the license manager is running.
top
ArcView license manager
The user account that will start the license manager must
have the AVHOME environment variable set.
% setenv AVHOME
/<path_to_arcview3_install_directory>/arcview3
For more information about setting up the license manager,
please refer to the ArcView GIS Installation Guide (av31install.html)
located in your $AVHOME/avdocs directory or on the ArcView GIS Version
3.1 CD. For a detailed discussion of the license manager, refer to the
License Manager's Guide included in your ArcView GIS package.
The license manager software is distributed with ArcView
GIS. The files are located in the $AVHOME/sysgen directory.
-
ESRI - the ArcView application daemon
-
lmgrd - the license manager daemon
-
sample.dat - a sample license file
-
lmutil - the license manager executable
-
adminlicense - a utility to edit and verify the license file
There are eight options to the "lmutil" executable:
-
lmdiag - diagnoses a problem when a license cannot be checked
out
-
lmdown - shuts down the license and application daemon
-
lmhostid - returns the FLEXlm®
hostid of a workstation
-
lmremove - removes specific licenses
-
lmreread - informs the license daemon of changes in the license
file
-
lmstat - reports on the status of the daemons and the license
uses
-
lmver - reports the version of FLEXlm
-
-h[elp] - (prints this message)
There are three options to the "adminlicense" executable:
-
convert - converts the old time-out dates (31-dec-99) in
the license file to no time-out date (1-jan-00)
-
verify - verifies the contents of the license.dat file
-
help - displays help for the adminlicense utility
The license manager daemon manages the ArcView daemon that
reads the license information file. The license information
file is specific to each site. The license.dat file looks similar to this:
SERVER siddhartha
5500439b 1700
DAEMON ESRI
$AVHOME/sysgen/ESRI
FEATURE ArcView31 ESRI
1.000 1-jan-00 200 B2EF061B26BCDC05F17D
""
FEATURE AVSpatial1 ESRI 1.000
1-jan-00 200 ABCE90A16C1C3310DCFD ""
Note: Even though you're installing ArcView Spatial Analyst Version
1.1, the application daemon version in line 3 will still read 1.000.
The first line identifies the name and FLEXlm hostid of the workstation
(in this case, siddhartha) on your network that will be the server for
the license manager (the node from which the license manager daemons will
run).
The second line identifies the license daemon for ArcView and its location.
The following lines specify the features that are to be licensed (e.g.,
ArcView GIS Version 3.1x and ArcView Spatial Analyst), the name of the
daemon that manages the licenses (ESRI), application daemon version (1.000),
the time-out date for the feature (1-jan-00), the number of users (200),
and a keycode for the feature. Each line is called a FEATURE line.
Note: If you have a license for ArcView Spatial Analyst Version
1.0 or 1.0a, it will work with ArcView Spatial Analyst Version 1.1.
To obtain the license file for your site
To obtain the license file/feature line, you will need
to provide, to ESRI or your distributor, the hostname and FLEXlm hostid
of each workstation or server that will be running
the license manager.
1. The hostname is obtained with the command:
% hostname
2. The FLEXlm hostid is obtained with the command:
% $AVHOME/sysgen/lmutil
lmhostid
In the United States
1. Complete the keycode request form included in your installation package.
Appendix A of the License Manager's Guide also contains keycode
request forms and examples of how to fill out this form. Keycode Support
will also send, upon request, a keycode request form by E-mail.
2. Mail, fax, or E-mail the completed form to Keycode Support.
Fax number: 909-335-1716
E-mail address: keycodes@esri.com
Outside the United States
Contact your local ESRI® software distributor for keycode
information. ESRI in Redlands cannot respond to requests for keycodes received
directly from international users.
top
Installing the license file
Once you have received the license file for your site, append
it to your $AVHOME/sysgen/license.dat. You must enter
the file exactly as it appears; the license file is case-sensitive. Use
the ADMINLICENSE command to check and verify your
license file for errors. ADMINLICENSE must be run from within your window
manager. Keep a copy of the license file you received from ESRI for future
reference.
% cd $AVHOME/sysgen
% ./adminlicense
Once you have updated the license.dat file with the new
feature line, update the daemons.
% $AVHOME/sysgen/lmutil
lmreread -c $AVHOME/sysgen/license.dat
