Tracking layers

New storage policy for tracking layers

Tracking Analyst has a new storage policy for tracking layers at version 10. Traditionally, data from tracking layers has been stored in memory (cached) by Tracking Analyst. The new storage policy allows tracking layers to be stored on disk (noncached). This allows Tracking Analyst to handle large datasets that are too large to be cached.

Tracking layers in ArcGIS Server

Map documents containing tracking layers can now be published to ArcGIS Server.

Integration with new ArcGIS time framework

New functionality is added to ArcGIS Desktop to support the concept of time for an entire map. The Tracking Analyst functionality will continue to exist independently of this new concept as it has in the past. However, if you choose to utilize the new ArcGIS time framework to control the time in your map document, your tracking layers will still update properly.
