Publishing a network utility service

Disponible con licencia de Business Analyst.

The Publish Routing Services utility allows you to publish directions, routing, and logistics services based on a network dataset to your ArcGIS Server. These services are similar to the routing services available with ArcGIS Online, but are published on-premises based on your own street network dataset.

Once published, the services can be used with Business Analyst Enterprise for creating study areas based on driving and walking times and distances.

Licencia:

To use this utility, your ArcGIS Server site needs to have an Extensión ArcGIS Network Analyst license.

Data requirements

A street network dataset for the USA is provided for Business Analyst Enterprise users in file geodatabase format (. gdb file). Before using the .gdb file, you must install the Business Analyst data license (. sdlic ), which is emailed at the time of purchase or data update. You can review the license information in ArcGIS Pro to verify that the *. sdlic license file is enabled. Once enabled, the publish routing services utility can be used to publish services from the .gdb file.

If the publisher machine and the GeoEnrichment Server machine are the same (If ArcGIS Pro is installed on the server), you can authorize the data with Pro. If ArcGIS Pro is not installed on the server, you can use the DataLicInstall utility:

1. Open a Windows Command Prompt instance (cmd), as an administrator, on a machine with ArcGIS Server installed.
2. Right click on CMD > run as an administrator.
3. Change directory to the ArcGIS Server Program Files bin directory.

   cd C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Server\bin

   The command line appears as follows:

   C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Server\bin>

4. Type in the following:

   DataLicInstall.exe C:\FolderName\<nameOfLicenseFile>.sdlic

5. Press Enter to install the license.
6. After the license file successfully installs, restart the ArcGIS Server Windows service for the changes to take effect.

Nota:

All data needed for street address geocoding and network analysis are included with the 2020 US Data for Business Analyst on My Esri.

ArcGIS StreetMap Premium 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.

Downloading the street network data

1. On the My Esri site, click My Organizations then click Downloads.
2. Verify that you are in the Products section. In the Quick Search text box, enter Business Analyst or Business.
3. Look for ArcGIS Business Analyst Enterprise with 2020 U.S. Data and ensure the version is 10.8.1. Click View Downloads.

   There will be two downloads for the street data, both will need to be downloaded on a folder to your local drive.

4. Click the Download Components tab then click Data and Content to expand the list of files.
5. Locate #1 ArcGIS Business Analyst Enterprise 2020 Street Data (U.S.A) and click Download.
6. In the Esri Download Manager dialog, click Click to download your file now.
7. Locate #2 ArcGIS Business Analyst Enterprise 2020 Street Data (U.S.A) and click Download.
8. The Destination Folder for Files dialog will appear. Keep the default location or click Browse to choose a different location.

Sugerencia:

While you can keep the network dataset in a shared location that is accessible to all the machines in your GIS server site, it is recommended to copy the network dataset locally, on each machine, for best performance when running the services.

The appropriate data license must be installed on the machine before running this utility. Follow the instructions for installing the data license on Windows.

Parameters

The following parameters are available when running the publishroutingservices.bat script:

Parámetro	Detalles
-u	Nombre de usuario de un usuario que tenga privilegios de publicado o responsable de publicación en el sitio de ArcGIS Server. Si el sitio está federado con un portal, el usuario debe ser un usuario de portal y puede tener privilegios administrativos o un privilegio de publicador que permita la publicación de herramientas de web y la publicación de capas basadas en servidor. Si el sitio no está federado, el usuario debe tener privilegios administrativos. Si su sitio está configurado con la autenticación a nivel Web, especifique un usuario integrado, por ejemplo, la cuenta de administrador del sitio principal o la cuenta de administrador inicial de su portal.
-p	The password of the user who was specified with the -u parameter.
-s	El nombre de dominio totalmente calificado del equipo que ejecuta ArcGIS Server, por ejemplo, gisserver.domain.com, o bien la URL local de su sitio de ArcGIS Server con el formato https://gisserver.domain.com:6443/arcgis.
-P	El nombre de dominio totalmente calificado del equipo, por ejemplo, gisportal.domain.com, en el que está instalado el Portal con el que se federa su sitio de ArcGIS Server. El valor también puede ser una URL local del portal, con el formato https://gisportal.domain.com:7443/arcgis. Se requiere un valor para esta opción solo si el ArcGIS Server que alojará los servicios de generación de rutas está federado con el portal.
-n	La ruta completa del dataset de red. Además de la ruta a la geodatabase de archivos, la ruta también debe contener el nombre del dataset de red y el nombre del dataset entidades que contiene al dataset de red. Por ejemplo, un valor para esta opción sería c:\data\Streets.gdb\Routing\Routing_ND en Windows y /data/Streets.gdb/Routing/Routing_ND en Linuxm, siendo Streets.gdb la geodatabase de archivos que contiene un dataset de red denominado Routing_ND en un dataset de entidades denominado Routing.
-o	La ruta a la carpeta en la que la utilidad creará los archivos de definición de servicio para los servicios y un archivo de registro denominado publishroutingservices.log que contiene los detalles sobre la ejecución y los posibles errores detectados.
-h	Prints help for the utility.

Example usage

The ArcGIS Server install includes a script that will help to publish a network service which can be used for routing by the Business Analyst service. This script is installed to <ArcGIS Server Install Location>/ArcGIS/Server/Tools/PublishRoutingServices and is named publishroutingservices.bat.

In this example, the streets data copied locally to the C drive. The staging folder for the service definition files is RoutingSDs, it must be created prior to running the utility.

publishroutingservices.bat -s ServerMachine.domain.com -P PortalMachine.domain.com -u PortalAdminUser -p PortalAdminPassword -n "Streets Data\NorthAmerica.gdb\Routing\Routing_ND" -o C:\RoutingSDs

Configuring a network utility services from ArcGIS Online

You have the option to configure your portal to use utility services from ArcGIS Online instead of publishing them to your own server. This has the added benefit of providing street network coverage outside the United States. If you would like to use online network services provided by Esri, you must have an ArcGIS Online organizational account. The account must have credits associated with it and the correct permissions to use the utility services.

The ArcGIS Online network services provide coverage for several countries or areas and can be configured in the portal following the steps below.

1. Sign in to the portal website as a member of the default administrator role in your organization.
2. At the top of the site, click Organization and click the Settings tab.
3. Click ArcGIS Online on the left side of the page.
4. Select Network.
5. Enter the credentials for the ArcGIS Online account that is to be used for the utility services.
6. Click Configure.
