Mastering ArcGIS Enterprise Administration

By: Chad Cooper

Overview of this book

ArcGIS Enterprise, the next evolution of the ArcGIS Server product line, is a full-featured mapping and analytics platform. It includes a powerful GIS web services server and a dedicated Web GIS infrastructure for organizing and sharing your work. You will learn how to first install ArcGIS Enterprise to then plan, design, and finally publish and consume GIS services. You will install and configure an Enterprise geodatabase and learn how to administer ArcGIS Server, Portal, and Data Store through user interfaces, the REST API, and Python scripts. This book starts off by explaining how ArcGIS Enterprise 10.5.1 is different from earlier versions of ArcGIS Server and covers the installation of all the components required for ArcGIS Enterprise. We then move on to geodatabase administration and content publication, where you will learn how to use ArcGIS Server Manager to view the server logs, stop and start services, publish services, define users and roles for security, and perform other administrative tasks. You will also learn how to apply security mechanisms on ArcGIS Enterprise and safely expose services to the public in a secure manner. Finally, you’ll use the RESTful administrator API to automate server management tasks using the Python scripting language. You’ll learn all the best practices and troubleshooting methods to streamline the management of all the interconnected parts of ArcGIS Enterprise.

Preface

Summary


Errors happen, even in the best kept and most well-groomed of environments. Being prepared, remaining calm, assessing the situation, and determining the best path to take to resolution are all key to quickly and effectively solving ArcGIS Enterprise issues when they arise. In this, our final chapter, we pooled a vast array of knowledge together that we discussed throughout this book. Becoming a master troubleshooter takes time; the more issues you see, the better you will become at recognizing, diagnosing, and resolving them. Always remember to stay calm and focused, gather as much information as you can, and check your logs. When those don't quite cut it, remember there is a wide selection of tools out there that can help you save time and get your ArcGIS Enterprise environment back up and running smoothly again.
