ENVI can access data from the following types of remote services:

  • Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC): Web Feature Service (WFS), Web Map Service (WMS), Web Map Tile Service (WMTS), and Web Coverage Service (WCS)
  • ArcGIS image services
  • JPEG 2000 Interactive Protocol (JPIP)
  • Jagwire

Use the following options to connect to remote datasets:

  • Select File > Remote Connection Manager to create and manage remote database connections, browse datasets on servers, view dataset properties, and add frequently used connections to a Favorites list. See Remote Connection Manager for details.
  • Use the ENVI::OpenRaster method in the ENVI API to programmatically access remote datasets.
