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.

Publishing to the ArcGIS Data Store


Data can be added and published to the Data Store in several ways. We will discuss a few of those methods here. Data can be added to Portal and then published to a feature service--feature services can be published from ArcMap, and feature services can be published from ArcGIS Pro.

Publishing a CSV file

A CSV file with either an address field or latitude/longitude in decimal degrees can be added to Portal and subsequently published as a feature service. Features are published in the Web Mercator coordinate system.

Note

Portal reads the first 10 rows of the CSV file to determine the data type and maximum length to use for each field in the hosted feature layer. Once these field types and lengths are set, any subsequent rows that do not match the types and lengths will not be included in the hosted feature layer. Pre-process your CSV to make sure records with the longest fields are in the first 10 rows. If your file has fields that contain mixed numeric and...
