The Smallworld Integration Server for ESRI is Spatial Business Systems’ next-generation solution for interoperability between General Electric’s Smallworld GIS and the ESRI ArcGIS product line. It allows ArcGIS products to access Smallworld data stores across the enterprise in real-time, enabling a truly open and seamless operating environment for access to Smallworld-based geospatial data. The Smallworld Integration Server for ESRI is ideally suited for those organizations that need Smallworld and ESRI systems to work together in a co-existence mode. This solution allows organizations to avoid the need for redundant, out of date spatial data repositories.

ThematicView 4.0 for Smallworld is a new product from Spatial Business Systems that allows users to easily define how objects are drawn and displayed based on a user defined theme within version 4.0 of Smallworld GIS. The main interface is designed like the Smallworld Object Control Tab and allows all objects to be displayed in the familiar hierarchical tree structure grouped by data stores, specific themes, object types, geometries and user-defined styles.

SWService allows a Smallworld image to be accessed as a service.  This allows Smallworld Administrators to automate the process of running server images that support applications such as IAS and PowerOn Remote Dispatch.  Highly configurable options include a server image 'heartbeat', automatic restart in cases where image failure is detected, and multiple retries in the event of an image failing to start.  SWService is valuable in providing supporting Smallworld applications that must remain running in environments with scheduled server cycling, database failures, and high availability requirements. SWService is a Windows service built to support specific activities associated with the GE Smallworld GIS product. SWService works on Windows 4.0 NT, NT Server, XP, 2000 and 2000 server environments. The service supports gis.exe and therefore gis_alias usage as well as direct gis_magik_*/sw_magik_* calls. Which provides users with the unique ability to detect the process nesting. i.e. gis.exe starts sw_magik_win32.exe, where the pid for the latter is not catchable from other service wrappers. SWService looks for this specific case and can then detect if the sw_magik_xxx process fails and react accordingly.
