Logical Location of Hosted Content

jauhari_mani

Hi Community,

I am unfamiliar with ArcGIS Enterprise and would like to understand where hosted content is stored on my machine. I have configured an ArcGIS server and ArcGIS portal, hosting a feature layer from my enterprise portal. Now, I would like to examine the logical storage on my system to determine its location and explore the possibility of configuration.

Additionally, when a layer is hosted on enterprise, I am curious about how the configuration of rules for labels, legends, popups, etc., is stored, and in what form it preserves custom symbols.

Regards,

Mani

Hi @jauhari_mani,

 

Hosted content is stored in your ArcGIS Datastore - this is a postgres database which is not intended to be interacted with outside of the ArcGIS Enterprise UI. This is stored by default to c:\arcgisdatastore\pgdata

If you'd like to configure Datastore further, pretty much everything can be done via the command line tools supplied with the software - highly recommend you have a look at this link:

https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/data-store/latest/install/windows/data-store-utility-reference.htm

For the second part of your question, I believe configurations like that are stored against the Portal item (map item) in the items directory - again, it is not recommended to change/modify anything on the backend.

Those portal items are stored in c:\arcgisportal\content\items by default as Json files.
