How do you correctly disable data uploading when publishing a Map Service?

bradeckrose — Thu, 31 Jan 2013 20:01:15 GMT

If found this in the help file:

To disable data from being copied to the server, follow the instuctions below.

Steps:
1. Open the Administrator Directory and log in with a user that has administrative permissions to your site. The Administrator Directory is typically available at http://<server name>:6080/arcgis/admin.
2.Click data > config > update.
3.On the Update Datastore Configuration page, enter the following string into the Datastore Configuration Properties dialog box:

{"blockDataCopy": true}

4.Click Update.

HOWEVER--

There is no config/update path under arcgis/admin/data--or anywhere in the admin pages that I can find. SO there is no "update" option, and no Datastore Configuration Properties dialog box to be found. Hence nowhere to put {"blockDataCopy":true}

What file does this get stored in on the server and can I just notepad it in order to get past this trainwreck of a week?

What do you see when you get to http://localhost:6080/arcgis/admin/data/config? Can you take a screenshot? What if you just copy and paste http://localhost:6080/arcgis/admin/data/config/update in a browser? It should prompt for a sign in, and once you do that, it should take you to the spot where you can add that tag.

The attached screen is all I see.

And if you copy and paste the link I provided, does it take you anywhere? Can you try to clear your browser history or use a different browser?

The above image was the result of using your URL. The exception is that I'm remote from the server. I will obtain rights to login directly to our server and try the "localhost" instead of a using proper domain and see if that makes any difference.

Can you capture a screenshot of what the actual dialog is?

Here's what the dialog looks like on my side:

I ran into this as well and to see the /config option in the Admin API, you'll need SP1 installed.

I should note that using the {blockDataCopy : true} to prevent the copying of data seemed to work when publishing a new service, as it did not prompt to 'copy the data to server'; however, in the publishing I've found that the service will not start automatically and the super helpful 99999 error appears in the geoprocessing results window. You can start the service manually after it's published without issue.

my server is installed using the directly downloaded 10.1 SP1 package. I encountered the same error as above. Is this really the sp1 issue?
