GIS services are a set of software functionalities related to geographic information in a networked environment. They expose encapsulated functions through interfaces and use web technologies to extend and enhance GIS applications, providing strong user interaction capabilities. The types of GIS services can be categorized into: spatial data publishing, spatial query and retrieval, spatial modeling services, and Web resource organization.

ArcGIS Service Types

ArcGIS Server is a server-based GIS product used to build enterprise-level GIS applications and services with centralized management and multi-user support. These include services such as map services, feature services, processing automation services, image services, geographic data services, geocoding services, network analysis services, spatial analysis services, and other ready-to-use services, as well as providing data publishing, sharing, and model analysis with open interfaces.

SuperMap Service Types

SuperMap iServer is a cloud GIS application server product based on a cross-platform GIS kernel. This product publishes full-featured GIS services through services, offering services such as map services, data services, spatial analysis, network analysis, transit analysis, 3D services, machine learning, data science, streaming data services, etc. It can also be personalized and customized through service extensions to provide rich choices for different user needs.

SuperMap iServer provides system monitoring and statistics modules to monitor the server's operational status, concurrent access, hot services, etc. It can monitor and record the server's current load, the load status of cluster systems, the performance of different parts of the server code when responding to map requests, and track service instances and user access history. The system can also notify administrators by email when errors or warnings occur. By monitoring and statistically analyzing the operation and concurrent access of the SuperMap iServer, it helps system administrators better adjust and optimize the server and service content.

SuperMap iDesktopX provides two methods for service migration: service forwarding and service publishing. This chapter will introduce the following:

• Service Forwarding: Describes how to forward ArcGIS REST services directly to SuperMap iServer services based on ArcGIS REST service addresses.
• Service Publishing: Describes how to publish SuperMap workspace types as ArcGIS REST services using SuperMap iServer.
