How to get URL of Portal for ArcGIS

RifkiFauzi — Sat, 02 Jan 2016 01:36:59 GMT

Anyone know how can I get my Portal for ArcGIS URL (ex. <name>.maps.arcgis.com)...

I need this URL to setup my Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS (using Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS Developer Edition and node.js)

Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS (Developer Edition)

I must be missing something... you go there... Portal for ArcGIS and copy the url in your browser

"https://community.esri.com/community/gis/web-gis/portal-for-arcgis" I put it in quotes if that helps

Rifki/Jin,

the url is the AGOL or portal is the site used to setup to get the AppID.

This ID is then used to run the dev editoon. Check out the instructions I have in

Tips and Observations for getting Web AppBuilder - Developer Edition Installed

anothe he great resource for understanding how to install and use widgets us Installing Robert’s Enhanced Search Widget for the Web AppBuilder

and then check out the Web AppBuilder Developer Edition - Customization Resource List for a list of resources for the dev environment.

edited.

Oh, it's mean that web App Builder is not free for use (because I have to buy license of Portal for ArcGIS and make AGOL account)...

Hmmm, can you tell me how to build Web GIS for free with ArcGIS (I just have ArcGIS desktop). Any plugin or other that can be used?

thanks.

Nothing is completely free. Do you belong to an organization like a university etc? Perhaps open source

RifkiFauzi — Sun, 03 Jan 2016 19:41:47 GMT

yes, I'm a student. But my university just give license for ArcGIS desktop...

Okay, maybe I have to use open source software...

thanks...

you may have access to arcgis online line as well, I would check with your prof or the person that manages the site license.

You can get a free AGOL account for development...of course it is limit

The free plan includes 50 credits per month so you can immediately start building powerful applications:
Add features like geocoding, routing, and geoenrichmentto your apps
Use ArcGIS SDKs to build mobile, web, and desktop apps
Access premium content like demographic and traffic maps from Esri
Build maps and analyze data with ArcGIS Online

You need an AGOL or a Portal site, not both.

as Dan mentioned, the university may have something set up already, but if not, get a developer account so you can play and learn for yourself.

As rightly mentioned by Rebecca Strauch, GISP, you could start with the ArcGIS Online trial license (Do not create a public account).

Also check how the credits are consumed Credits | ArcGIS for Developers .

I realize you wrote this almost a year ago, but a reply might help someone else. The scratched out URL in your screenshot says "desktop"-something. The error messages says you need a "fully qualified domain name" in the URL.

1) You have to run a web browser ON THE SERVER for this step. If you try to connect via a desktop computer it will refuse to let you go on.

2) You have to have a full domain name, like "servername.somecompany.com" not just "servername", that's what the error message means. You should test this before installing web adaptor, make sure you can reach the site with the name you are about to enter here, for example "https://servername.somecompany.com:7443/". If your browser cannot see the portal there (you get errors about "site not found") then you need to fix that problem first.

3) Remember that you have to install web adaptor twice, once for Portal and once for Server. Once it's installed correctly then you can't go to its URL anymore, you manage all connections through Portal.

Good luck! Once it's running it's relatively reliable and you probably won't ever have to do it again!

Dan, you sound like Robert Heinlein fan. TANSTAAFL? 🙂 Has your opinion changed since 2016?

The wealth of free tools and freemium cloud products available for GIS now is staggering.

ESRI is on board too with free basemaps and services like geocoding through their free developer accounts that every GIS student should know about.

TANSTAAFL only as it applies to analysis and not making maps, and of course the universe is an open system.

FL I actually provided those for my students during my last two years of work, so they could pay it forward
