Installation overview

Available with Business Analyst license.

Business Analyst Enterprise requires two ArcGIS Server machines. First, a complete base deployment with all software components is required:

  • ArcGIS Server—configured as the hosting server for your portal.
  • ArcGIS Enterprise portal
  • ArcGIS Data Store—configured as a relational data store.
  • ArcGIS Web Adaptor—two installations. One installation for traffic to your ArcGIS Enterprise portal and another for traffic to your hosting server.

In addition, a second dedicated ArcGIS Server is needed to install GeoEnrichment Server.

  • ArcGIS Server and ArcGIS Web Adaptor installations. The server must be federated to the your portal and licensed with the Business Analyst Server role.
  • The GeoEnrichment Server setup requires a Microsoft Windows operating system.
  • The GeoEnrichment Server setup cannot be installed on the same machine as the ArcGIS Data Store.
  • GeoEnrichment Server cannot be designated as the hosting server.
