Publishing a geocode utility service

Disponible con licencia de Business Analyst.

Business Analyst Enterprise comes with geocoding data for workflows such as place searches and batch geocoding of point locations. An address locator for the USA is provided and can be published and shared as a geocode utility service in your organization.

Check with your organization's license administrator or Esri Customer Service if you do not have both StreetMap Premium for ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Enterprise StreetMap Premium authorization file.

These new locators are only supported in ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Enterprise, use in ArcMap is not supported. Business Analyst Enterprise users will receive authorization files for StreetMap Premium for ArcGIS Pro and StreetMap Premium for ArcGIS Enterprise.

Nota:

All data needed for street address geocoding and network analysis are included with the 2019 USA data bundle for Business Analyst Enterprise on My Esri.

StreetMap Premium for ArcGIS product downloads for Pro and Enterprise may appear in your My Esri list. These files are not needed and should not be downloaded. Please follow the steps for downloading the street data below.

Authorizing the Geocoding Data for ArcGIS Pro

The USA address locator is available for geocoding in ArcGIS Pro if you are licensed for the proper regional StreetMap Premium extension (North America). Upon purchase of Business Analyst Enterprise an authorization code for StreetMap Premium for ArcGIS Pro is made available through My Esri.

See Enable a StreetMap Premium extension and Review license information in ArcGIS Pro for additional licensing information.

Nota:

If your account in ArcGIS Pro has not been provisioned with the StreetMap Premium North America extension, a red exclamation point will appear next to the country locator name in the Catalog pane under Project > Locators. In the Locate pane under Settings the country locator name will also be unavailable. See Enable a StreetMap Premium extension for information on how to have your ArcGIS Pro account set up with a StreetMap Premium for ArcGIS extension.
