Configuring a GeoEnrichment utility service

The Business Analyst web app leverages GeoEnrichment as a utility service in Portal to create sites, reports, infographics and much more. GeoEnrichment capabilities are provided with Business Analyst Server for the first time at 10.6.1 and can be configured in Portal following the steps below:

1. Sign in to the portal website as an Administrator of your organization and click through to My Organization > Edit Settings > Utility Services.
2. Enter the URL for your GeoEnrichment Service, for example: https://WebAdaptor.domain.com/arcgis/rest/services/DefaultMap/geoenrichmentserver

Note:

DefaultMap is the default name of the Business Analyst Server service when running the post install, however, another name can be used when running the post install in custom mode. Make sure that the URL is accessible in a browser and that https is used to configure the utility service.
3. Click Save.

Workaround:

After deploying Business Analyst Server on a system using ArcGIS Enterprise Builder, the URL for the GeoEnrichment service is not complete. The URL will be missing the beginning part of it, which includes the protocol, DNS name and the web adaptor. These will need to be manually added to the value in the GeoEnrichment service.

To correct this you will perform the following steps:

1. In a web browser, sign in to Portal for ArcGIS.
2. Click on My Organization.
3. Click on Edit Settings.
4. Click on the Utility Services tab.
5. Scroll down to GeoEnrichment.
6. Enter the URL of your Business Analyst Server map service using the following:
   1. HTTPS
   2. Web adaptor for ArcGIS
   3. A fully qualified domain name

   

7. Scroll up and click Save.
