Configuring routing services

Disponible con licencia de Business Analyst.

ArcGIS Business Analyst Enterprise includes a street network dataset for the U.S. that can be published as routing services to a federated ArcGIS Server site. It can be the same as the GeoEnrichment Server site or any other site as long as it is federated and has the ArcGIS Network Analyst extension authorized. This process creates all the routing services based on your network dataset and registers them as utility services in your ArcGIS Enterprise portal for applications to discover and use them.

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 publish routing services, your ArcGIS Server site needs to be authorized with the provided ArcGIS Network Analyst extension license.

Data and licensing requirements

A street network dataset for the U.S. is provided for Business Analyst Enterprise users in file geodatabase format (. gdb file). Before configuring routing services, the data must be authorized with the Business Analyst data license (. sdlic ) and the ArcGIS Server site must be authorized with the ArcGIS Network Analyst extension. These can be downloaded from My Esri. The data license can be installed in one of two ways:

1. 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 ArcGIS Pro.

2. If ArcGIS Pro is not installed on the server, you can use the DataLicInstall utility.

To install authorize the data license, you can use the datadicinstall utility:

1. On the machine hosting ArcGIS Server open a Terminal Window.
2. Navigate to: <ArcGIS Server installation directory>/arcgis/server/tools.
3. Run /datalicinstall <ArcGIS data license file>.

For more information in managing the data license, refer to Configuring an ArcGIS data license.
