Configure the cache directories

ArcGIS Server maintains a list of directories in which it can find map cache tiles. You must explicitly add the ArcGIS Data Appliance cache directory to this list.

1. Sign in to ArcGIS Server using the ArcGIS Data Appliance data account with administrator privileges.
2. Start Server Manager and sign in using your Primary Site Administrator account.
3. Click the Site tab.
4. From the GIS Server tab, click Directories.
5. Click the Add Directory button.
6. Provide a Name, for example, CollectionA_Cache. From the Type list, choose Cache.
7. For Location, provide the path to the cache directory on the ArcGIS Data Appliance collection you made when you created shares, for example, \\ARCGISDATAAPP\Collection<x>_cache, where <x> is the letter of the collection you created shares for.

   You do not need to specify a Description, Cleaning Mode, or Maximum File Age.

8. Click Add to add the directory.
9. Repeat steps 5 through 8 for each collection you created a cache directory for when you created shares.
