Data Basin Migration: This week!

To date, the Data Basin system has been powered in part by a custom, beta version of ESRI's ArcGIS Online.  Now that the officially-supported, public version of ArcGIS is available, Data Basin will migrate content over and start using this newer version.

This means that all the datsets and maps that are publicly available in Data Basin will also become available for download as layer packages by ArcGIS users.  Private datasets will still only be viewable by the owner or Data Basin groups that the owner has shared them with.  Maps that have been created by Data Basin users will be added to the list of available maps in ArcGIS; however in order to view the maps, ArcGIS users will need to follow links back to the Data Basin dynamic map viewer.  Data Basin galleries or people's profile information will not be immediately available for search by ArcGIS users but will be available inside Data Basin.

In order to accomplish this migration, Data Basin will be offline tonight (Monday, August 30th, Pacific Standard Time) for a period of roughly 3 hours.  We have done as much as possible to limit the impact of this migration for users, however, please expect that there will be intermittent outages over the coming week in order to fix any technical issues that emerge.  Please contact us at databasin at consbio.org if you have any questions.  If you have a problem, there is a red 'report a problem' button in the blue navigation at the bottom of all the Data Basin application pages.

Thanks for your patience.
