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


This was an important chapter, as we discussed the publication of services, a key component in ArcGIS Enterprise. A wide range of service types can be published with various capabilities to ArcGIS Server, Portal for ArcGIS, and ArcGIS Online, allowing organizational data and information to be easily shared and managed. These capabilities each have their own array of settings and properties, all of which can be changed and tuned for your needs. An important step in the process is determining where your data needs to reside and managing service data sources. We also touched lightly on several ways to add and publish data to Portal for ArcGIS. Next, we will dive into Portal for ArcGIS and discuss how to leverage Portal to manage your organization's content, groups, and users and how those users access information.
