Connecting to a GIS server provides access to features and resources provided as online services. you can connectArcGIS-Server,ArcGIS on-lineturnkey services and servers from the Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc. (OGC).
When connecting to aArcGIS-Serversite, options let you use services, publish services, or manage the server. If the server aArcGIS Enterprisefederated server,ArcGIS ProIt only supports connections that allow the use of services. If the server is independentArcGIS-ServerThe site may allow you to publish and use services: The connection with the highest number of privileges allowed for your credentials will be created. Once you have a Publisher connection, you can upgrade your connection to Administrator level if your credentials allow it.
To use:
you may needTo updateYour connection to the server when the server content changes outside of the currentArcGIS ProMeeting. you may needTo repairthe connection when it becomes invalid.
Server Credentials
Unless a server allows anonymous access, you must provide a login (username and password) when establishing a connection. If the server with aArcGIS EnterprisePortal, use your portal account login. If the server is standalone, use a login provided by the server administrator.
A login can be savedWindowCredential Manager (default) or your server's connection file (or both).WindowCredential Manager is recommended for two reasons. First, it's a more secure place for credentials than a file stored on the file system. Secondly, eachArcGIS ProProcess that requires loginWindowCredential Manager; Generally, you will not be prompted for credentials again when using server connection on this computer.
FelshakenHowever, scripts cannot access it.WindowCredential Manager. When running scripts that require server credentials, it is more secure to encrypt the login in the script. The alternative is to store the login in a connection file.
To use:
Some resources stored on the server, such as map files (.mapx), it may prompt for credentials when adding them to a project. If your login is saved inWindowCredential Manager, this only happens once; after that, the resource recognizes the credentials. If your login is stored in a connection file, you will be asked for your credentials every time you add the resource.
Access a server in a folder
You can browse a GIS server and access its content through a folder connection. This can be useful when creating files with data on the server and storing them in the same folder as the server connection file.
- Connect to a folderwhich contains the server you want to use.
- insideCatalogblackboard, theContentIn a catalog view pane or catalog view window, locate the folder that contains the server.
- Browse the server to use its content.
