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

Tools to help you


Most of the time, unless the issue at hand is immediately resolvable, you will need a tool or utility of some sort to help you determine what is going on with your issue. We've already discussed using logs, print statements, and debuggers to help you resolve issues, but what do you do when the issue is with a web application or a call to a web service? There are plenty of ways to tackle those issues as well; let's take a look at a few.

Browser dev tools

All modern browsers now come with some flavor of development tools, or dev tools as they are commonly referred to. With dev tools, you can perform a variety of tasks, such as view the source of a page, debug and step through the code of a site, or watch network traffic to see what happens as the code executes, to name a few. Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome, all have dev tools, but here we will be discussing Chrome's dev tools, as they are some of the easiest, most complete, and most intuitive to learn and use.
