Last Published: November 4, 2022

Summary

It is sometimes necessary to access information on the date and time a service is published to ArcGIS Server when performing updates on the service. However, this information is not available in ArcGIS Server Manager. This article provides two workflows to find the date and time a service is published to ArcGIS Server.

Procedure

From the ArcGIS Server Administrator Directory

Follow this workflow to access information on the date and time a service is published, started, and last modified from the ArcGIS Server Administrator Directory.

  1. Sign in to the ArcGIS Server Administrator Directory.
  2. Under Resources, click services.
  3. On the Folder - / page, under the Services section, select the service.
  4. On the Service page of the selected service, scroll to the bottom of the page and click lifecycleinfos under Resources.
The Resources section on the Service page in the ArcGIS Server Administrator Directory.

Timestamps on when the service is published, started, and last modified are displayed in the LifeCycle Information section.

From the service's metadata

When working offline, follow the workflow below to find the date and time a service is published. However, additional information on when the service is started or last modified is not available in the service's metadata XML document.

  1. On the machine, follow the file path below to access a service's metadata XML document.
C:\arcgis\arcgisserver\directories\arcgissystem\arcgisinput\<servicename>.<servicetype>\extracted\esriinfo\metadata\metadata.xml
The metadata XML document in File Explorer.
  1. In the folder, double-click the metadata XML document to access the metadata.

The date and time the service is published to ArcGIS Server are displayed in the <CreaDate> and <CreaTime> tags. The date is displayed in the YYYYMMDD format, and the time is displayed in the hhmmssss format.

The metadata.xml document opened in the Google Chrome browser.
