Summary
How can I increase performance when viewing images in ArcIMS?
Procedure
- On Windows NT, choose Start > Settings > Control Panel and double-click System.
Click the Environment tab.
In the system variable window, click PATH (or create it if it doesn’t already exist) and add: ;<drive>:\Program Files\Javasoft\Jre\1.3.0_02\bin
Click OK and close the Control Panel window. - On Windows 2000, choose Start > Settings > Control Panel and double-click System.
Click the Advanced tab.
Click Environment Variables.
In the System Variable window, click your system variable PATH, click Edit and add: ;<drive>:\Program Files\javasoft\jre\1.3.0_02\bin
Click OK and close the Control Panel window. - On UNIX, use the following settings:
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $AEJHOME/lib for ArcExplorer-Java Edition
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $AIMSHOME/lib for ArcIMS Author
This allows your system to take advantage of the Java Advanced Imaging (JAI) libraries to increase performance.
NOTE: ArcIMS for IBM AIX and HP-UX does not support JAI. When loading a TIFF image in ArcIMS Author or ArcExplorer-Java Edition, you will receive a warning message: "Could not load mediaLib" in the Message Console. This is just a warning message indicating that the JAI library cannot be loaded.
