How To: Validate ArcGIS Data Store

Summary

ArcGIS Data Store allows users to store hosted feature layers, hosted scene layers, and archive real-time observational data from federated ArcGIS GeoEvent Server sites. To store and archive these items, the ArcGIS Data Store must be validated. This article describes the different methods ArcGIS Enterprise administrators can employ to validate ArcGIS Data Store.

Procedure

There are three methods to validate ArcGIS Data Store.

• Validate via ArcGIS Server Manager
• Validate via the Validate Data Store option in the ArcGIS Server admin endpoint
• Validate via JSON in the ArcGIS Server admin endpoint

Validate via ArcGIS Server Manager

1. Log in to ArcGIS Server Manager with an administrator account.
2. Navigate to Site > GIS Server > Data Stores.
3. Check the relevant data stores check boxes, and click Validate. A successfully validated data store is marked by a green check mark.

1. Log in to the ArcGIS Server admin endpoint with an administrator account.
2. Navigate to the following path:

Relational data store: Home > data > items > enterpriseDatabases > AGSDataStore_ds_datastoreID > machines > machine_name > validate

Tile cache data store: Home > data > items > nosqlDatabases > AGSDataStore_nosqldb_tcs_datastoreID > machines > machine_name > validate

3. Click Validate.

Validate via JSON in the ArcGIS Server admin endpoint
