The ArcGIS component can be enabled by following these steps:

In the SharePoint Web application site, click Site Settings > Site Collection Administration > Site Collection Features > Activate ArcGIS SharePoint Web Part.

You can also follow the steps below to check whether or not the ArcGIS component in SharePoint is deployed properly:
  • In the Central Administration site, go to System Settings and then, go to Manage Farm solutions. Check if the ESRI WSP file is there. If it is there, click and check to see the deployment status.
  • Also check ArcGIS Mapping for SharePoint > Site Settings > Site libraries and lists and make sure ArcGIS component is deployed.

  • Go to the Services, make sure "SharePoint 2010 Administration" and "SQL server" are running.
  • Right-click the setup.exe wizard to "Run as Administrator"
  • If the above step did not work, go the the Server Manager 'Local Users and Groups ' Group and check the following three groups: WSS_ADMIN_WPG, WSS_RESTRICTED_WPG_V4, and WSS_WPG. Make sure your account is added in these three groups.
  • Ensure that you can login to the SQL Server Management Studio.
  • In the SQL Server Management Studio, go to Security/Logins folder, right-click on your login account and choose “Properties”. In the Login Properties, select "Server Roles" on the left and make sure "sysadmin" role is checked.
  • In the SQL Server Management Studio "Login Properties" window, select "User Mapping" on the left and select "Sharepoint_Config" item. Make sure the "WSS_Content_Application_Pools" database role is checked.
