hi, we had started developing an addin for Pro, but have not had a large demand for it. We will look into providing an initial build and code via the Geoportal Server GitHub. Stay tuned! ... View more

Geoportal Server is a Java Web application typically run in Tomcat. Apache provides documentation on how to setup Tomcat in high availability mode using their connectors. For the index, Geoportal Server uses elasticsearch that itself can be run on a cluster of nodes for high performance or high availability. See the elastic.co documentation on this topic.  ...

hi, Geoportal Server itself is a web application, but can be run behind firewalls with proper configuration. In your case what you could do is setup an internal Java web server (like Apache Tomcat) and then deploy Geoportal Server there. There are two applications to consider: one is the catalog, the other is the harvester. The catalog is what you users would use when searching for content. The harvester is what would populate the catalog in an automated way. You can see a sample Geoportal Server Catalog app here at https://gptogc.esri.com/geoportal2/ The harvester can collect metadata from many sources, including UNC paths and even a table in a RDBMS. Geoportal Server is open source. You can find code and builds on GitHub: Catalog - https://github.com/Esri/geoportal-server-catalog  Harvester - https://github.com/Esri/geoportal-server-harvester  ... View more

hi all, YES! the Geoportal Server is alive and well. As mentioned, we have branched off a new generation of Geoportal Server (2.x) a couple years ago and now have (in fact) three GitHub repositories! https://github.com/Esri/geoportal-server - This is Geoportal Server 1.x, with 1.2.9 being the latest formal released version. We do have various modifications, updates, and fixes in the pipeline. Go ahead and get the latest source code directly. https://github.com/Esri/geoportal-server-catalog - This is the shiny new Geoportal Server 2.x Catalog application. This is where we are focusing our attention. More scalable, no more Java Server Faces, no more relational database, search facets, etc. This is currently at version 2.6.1 (November 2018) with 2.6.2 in the works. https://github.com/Esri/geoportal-server-harvester - Here you'll find the now standalone Harvester 2.x. This new harvester may be used without using other Geoportal Server components, for example to sync from a CSW to your ArcGIS Online environment or such.  Last week I presented on Geoportal Server during the Developer Summit and we also had booths in the Expo. The same will be happening as part of the International User Conference in July. Most of our discussion happens on GitHub. Feel free to check out what we are working on and what some of the Geoportal users are contributing to this open source project! Marten ... View more

As part of Geoportal Server 2.x development I have created some python scripts that crawl through a network drive, a sitemap, or a web accessible folder and push content to the Geoportal catalog. You can find a Gist for the WAF flavor here: get_waf_usgs.py · GitHub The others follow pretty much the same pattern. ... View more

Esri Geoportal Server includes a widget for the Web AppBuilder framework that allows including the federated search capabilities of Geoportal Server in web applications. This capability can also be integrated into Portal for ArcGIS. This integration has been implemented in the Indonesia NSDI portal that connects various government portals to a national portal. Through the federated search, users can discover content from external ArcGIS or OGC-compliant catalogs and integrate information into the web maps they create in ArcGIS Online or Portal for ArcGIS. The widget will be updated as part of the upcoming 1.2.7 release that we aim to make available before UC 2016! Marten Hogeweg Product Manager Esri Geoportal Server ... View more

hi, For several years, users have found benefits in the combination of the metadata catalog capabilities of Geoportal Server with the location platform capabilities of ArcGIS Online/Portal for ArcGIS. Geoportal Server is intended to provide a metadata catalog used in the context of Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI) where multiple vendor technologies are used. These SDI are typically national and international, with multiple independent organizations (or nations) collaborating based on international standards for data, metadata, and web service interoperability. When combining the two products, users have looked specifically to the following capabilities from Geoportal Server: Provide web-based editor for standards-based metadata Provide federated search to other portals and catalogs Provide automated harvesting of external content into ArcGIS Online/Portal for ArcGIS Provide standards-based catalog interface to ArcGIS Online/Portal for ArcGIS In the Summer 2015 release of ArcGIS Online, the standards-based metadata capability developed in Geoportal Server became available as part of ArcGIS Online, enabling you to manage standards-based metadata directly in ArcGIS Online. This capability has been included in Portal for ArcGIS as of version 10.4. Esri Geoportal Server includes a widget for the Web AppBuilder framework that allows including the federated search capabilities of Geoportal Server in web applications. This capability can also be integrated into Portal for ArcGIS. This integration has been implemented in the Indonesia NSDI portal that connects various government portals to a national portal. Through the federated search, users can discover content from external ArcGIS or OGC-compliant catalogs and integrate information into the web maps they create in ArcGIS Online or Portal for ArcGIS. Geoportal Server also supports harvesting between ArcGIS servers, Portal for ArcGIS instances, and ArcGIS Online subscriptions, further simplifying the sharing of geospatial resources to different catalogs and portals. Geoportal Server can be configured as a broker between those external catalogs and an ArcGIS Online subscription or Portal for ArcGIS instance, automating the registering of resources found in those external catalogs and simplifying the management of your ArcGIS Online content. For users who are interested in an OGC Catalog Service Interface (CSW) for their ArcGIS Online subscription (or Portal), this can also be provided by Geoportal Server. This would open your ArcGIS Online subscription to national, regional, and global spatial data infrastructures (SDI) and simplify how you participate in those SDI. To see these and other capabilities and opportunities at the UC, stop by the Geoportal Server area in the Expo, attend one of the Geoportal Server technical workshops, or the Spatial Data Infrastructure Special Interest Group, held Wednesday June 29, 12PM – 1PM in Room 26B.

hi, you may be interested in the Geoportal Search widget for the Web Appbuilder framework. It allows searching for services across multiple catalogs including those supporting CSW and then consume supported services in the viewer. The widget is included in the Geoportal Server GitHub repository and a work-in-progress version is deployed on our sandbox: http://gptogc.esri.com/genericClient. If you find issues with this widget or have questions, please join the conversation on the Geoportal Server list. Marten Hogeweg Product Manager Geoportal Server ... View more

when working with OGC WMS services (such as those provided by GeoServer, but also available in ArcGIS for Server), it is preferred to use a basemap that is in EPSG:4326 projection. this is because that is the only required projection to be supported by WMS services. Anything else (such as EPSG:102100) and you may run into WMS services that cannot reproject (which is done server-side). ... View more

did you also register the Big Data Store in the Data Stores tab in GeoEvent Manager? I had setup GeoEvent and Data Store with Portal and Server on my laptop and with some useful info from RJ I enabled the spatiotemporal big data store using that same command line. then registered the new datastore (as a portal store) in GeoEvent Manager. voila! ...
