What's New in ENVI Services Engine 5.2
What's New in This Release
ENVI analytics (called ENVITasks) are automatically included with
ESE and are listed in the Admin Console catalog. Refer to the
"ENVITask" topic in ENVI Help for descriptions of each task. You
can still access all ENVI Classic API (_DOIT) and custom IDL
processing functionality using the steps described in the Writing Tasks topic of ESE Help.
ESE includes the ENVI 3D Web Viewer, which can ingest,
host, and serve LiDAR point clouds to a web-based 3D viewer on Windows
and Linux.
Batch processing in ESE can be driven by IDL's Watch Folder
capability.
ESE has a closer integration with the IDL Workbench:
- Provides JSON validation for tasks
- Supports IDL's Boolean variable type (0: false, 1:true)
ESE tasks that use ENVI behave the same as tasks in
ENVI Desktop.
ESE tasks issue errors back to the client and have the workers reset
properly.
Tasks now accept parameters containing HTTP schemes like OGC, JPIP,
and Esri® Image Services.
The Task Request Builder shows requests in a human-readable form
instead of a URL-encoded form.
Task files now have a .task extension; they are no
longer named config.json.
