Esri Maps for SharePoint 3.0 Released!

[KatherineDalton]

We are pleased to announce the release of Esri Maps for SharePoint 3.0.

Key new features of Esri Maps for SharePoint 3.0 include the following:

Tight integration with the ArcGIS platform
The ArcGIS platform is Esri�??s enterprise sharing and collaboration platform and is available as a secure Esri-hosted solution (ArcGIS Online) or on-premises solution (Portal for ArcGIS). It brings numerous benefits to Esri�??s SharePoint mapping offering including the ability to leverage new global geocoding, routing, and geographic data enrichment services and; the ability to securely publish and share your business data as map layers and as fully-configured interactive maps to members of your organization or to anyone else you want, whether or not they have access to SharePoint.

A brand new JavaScript-based map web part
The Esri Maps Web Part is based on a new JavaScript-based HTML5 architecture and works seamlessly with the ArcGIS Platform, including both ArcGIS Online and Portal for ArcGIS. If you can create or customize a SharePoint page, you can create maps with Esri Maps for SharePoint. There are numerous intuitive and configurable tools available for mapping, styling, grouping, analyzing, and sharing your organization�??s data.

New options for creating maps with your external business data
Esri Maps for SharePoint 3.0 offers even more ways to map, visualize, analyze, and share your organization�??s business data with support for connecting to, map-enabling, and enriching your external data warehouse through SharePoint Business Connectivity Services (BCS) connections to your SQL Server tables.

New ways to interact with your mapped business data and create map-enabled dashboards within SharePoint
With new support for web part connections between the Esri Maps Web Part and SharePoint List Web Parts, you have even more options to interactively select, filter, and work with your mapped business data.

More frequent updates
Major updates and enhancements to Esri Maps for SharePoint, including the ability to access and leverage newer content and services delivered through its tight integration with the ArcGIS platform, will be available to organizations and users in three major releases per year.

Tried updating an existing 2.1 instance.  Double clicking the setup.exe first returned a message that .Net 4.0 wasn't installed (3.5 SP1 was).  Installed .Net 4.0, but now getting a message "Cannot load assembly Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=15.0.0.0. . . Please ensure that the setup.exe for ESRI Maps for SharePoint matches the correct version of SharePoint Server on  your machine".  This is a dev server with SharePoint Foundation 2010 (v 14.0.6029.1000).

Is there a separate installer for SharePoint 2010 vs 2013?

[KatherineDalton]

Hello Gary,

Yes, there are two separate installers for SharePoint 2010 and 2013. They should be next to each other on the main downloads page.

Everything works perfectly if you use the right installer.  Guess I need to get glasses (or just pay closer attention).  Thanks for the quick reply.

Hi,

I get the following error when I "sign in to ArcGis online to use ESRI maps" using the ESRI maps web part.

Your browser configuration does not support sending secured content. Your sign-in was canceled to ensure password safety.
How can I fix this?

Thanks.

Same deal here.  Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?

[KatherineDalton]

I'm guessing you are using Internet Explorer? You need to go to the Esri Maps Administration (under Site Settings) and open the Configuration Settings list. In there, set AllowSignInOverHttpProxy to True. Note that this setting will allow sending a password over http instead of https.

Hey Katy.  I see what you're talking about but is there a step by step process with a screen shot that you can link?

[KatherineDalton]

Hi Kellen,

No problem. I don't have up-to-date doc for that yet, but here's the process:

1. Go to the Site Settings page of your SharePoint site. In SharePoint 2013 you can get to this page using the "gear” button next to your name in the upper right corner. In SP2010, this is under Site Actions>Site Settings from the menu in the top left. Screenshots below:
2. Once you're on the Site Settings page, you'll see Esri Maps for SharePoint Administration.
3. Click Configuration Settings:
4. 
   In the Configuration Settings list, change AllowSignInOverHttpProxy to be True instead of False:

Let me know if that helps.
