Configure the source documents directories

Caution:

You need to complete these steps before you publish the World_Imagery service, otherwise you cannot view Imagery Citations.

ArcGIS Server maintains a list of directories in which it can find file geodatabases. If you are publishing the World_Imagery service for World Standard (on Collection D), World Advanced (on Collection E), North America Standard (on Collection G), or North America Advanced (on Collection H), you need to explicitly add the ArcGIS Data Appliance source document directories to this list.

Note:

You do not need to perform this step if you are publishing the World_Imagery service for Collection A (World Basic).

  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 Data Stores.

    Data Stores dialog box

  5. Click the Register drop-down arrow and choose Folder.
  6. Provide a Name, for example, Imagery Citations.

    Register Folder dialog box

  7. For Publish Folder Path, use \\OriginalServer\source_documents\data.

    You do not need to specify a name for Publish Folder Hostname.

  8. For Server Folder Path, uncheck the Same as publisher folder path check box, and provide the path to the source_documents\data directory on the ArcGIS Data Appliance collection you created when you created shares, for example, \\ARCGISDATAAPP\Collection<X>_source_documents\data, where <x> is the letter of the collection you created shares for.
  9. Click Create to register the directory.
