Available with Business Analyst license.
Business Analyst Enterprise requires two ArcGIS Server machines.
- A complete base deployment with all software components is required, see installation overview for details.
- A dedicated ArcGIS Server machine is needed to install GeoEnrichment Server. This machine must meet the following guidelines:
- ArcGIS Server and ArcGIS Web Adaptor installations. The server must be federated to your Enterprise portal.
- The GeoEnrichment server setup requires Linux.
- The GeoEnrichment server setup cannot be installed on the same machine as the ArcGIS Data Store.
- The GeoEnrichment server cannot be designated as the hosting server.

GeoEnrichment environment configuration utility
After installing the GeoEnrichment Server software, an environment configuration utility is provided to perform several administrative tasks. These tasks include preparing the database and services, creating and sharing items in the portal, optimizing ArcGIS Server memory settings, and registering GeoEnrichment as a utility service in the portal.
The environment configuration wizard relies on the ArcGIS Enterprise portal's built-in identity store. The initial administrator account can be used for authentication, or any other built-in account with administrator privileges. If the wizard cannot discover the portal's administrative URL automatically, an additional page will appear allowing for the URL to be entered manually.
- Start the GeoEnrichment Environment Configuration Utility.
- In the welcome page for the GeoEnrichment Server configuration wizard, click Next.
- Enter the credentials for the portal administrator user and click Next.
- Specify a folder where you would like the GeoEnrichment data to be stored. Click Next.
Note:
The specified location should have at least 200GB of dedicated storage for staging and installing the USA data pack. For more information, see Disk space requirements. - Select Yes to register the GeoEnrichment service as a portal utility service. Click Configure.
Choosing to register the GeoEnrichment service as a portal GeoEnrichment utility service will make the service the default selection for GeoEnrichment processes executed on the portal.
- Once the configuration is completed, click Next.
- The GeoEnrichment Server environment is successfully configured. Click Finish.
