Additional Information

To register a database as a data store item via the Portal for ArcGIS home app, it is necessary to have a hosting server. This is as designed. However, from ArcGIS Enterprise 10.8.1 onwards, in the 'Add a data store' window in step 1, if the Database option is selected, and proceeding to step 2 without a hosting server returns the following error message: "Your portal is not configured with a hosting server, which is required to finish creating your data store. Please check your hosting server configuration and try again." If users do not wish to set the hosting server, there are three workarounds to register a database as data store item: • Use ArcGIS Pro • Use the portal sharing API to add the item • Register the database using ArcGIS Server Manager and create an item for it.

Workaround

Register the enterprise geodatabase as a data store to ArcGIS Server, and use the federateDataItem REST API operation in ArcGIS Server Administrator to add the existing data store as a data store item to the Portal. Refer to the following documentation:https://developers.arcgis.com/rest/enterprise-administration/server/federatedataitem.htm.
