Publish Oriented Imagery from referenced folder or a private link

DominicReed

Hi there,

I’m trying to publish a large collection of oriented imagery to our Enterprise Portal. My initial plan was to register a local folder with the server as a datastore, then reference the imagery from that folder when publishing — without enabling the option to add images as attachments.

However, when I attempt to publish, I receive an error saying a web-accessible link is required. I don’t want to host the imagery externally—my goal is to keep it in the local folder.

Is there a way to achieve this, or any possible workaround?

Hi Dominic, 

You can achieve what you want to do by creating a virtual folder in IIS (if that is your web service provider you are using.) I am sure other web adaptors will have a similar function.

Once you have a virtual folder mapped and it can be accessed with an http address you can then add your data to the Oriented Imagery dataset using that path. 

hope this helps.
