Spatiotemporal data store is not configured on current machine

cjms — Mon, 09 Jun 2025 18:02:59 GMT

When running listdatasources.bat on the Data Store server, I encounter the error:

Error encountered: 'spatiotemporal' data store is not configured on current machine.

This is strange since I don't have a spatiotemporal data store. We did at one point last year, but the previous employee removed it when before upgrading from 10.9 to 11.1.

So, somehow somewhere, there is still a lingering connection or property that is telling ArcGIS we have spatiotemporal data store (unconfigured though?). I tried using the REMOVE property from the setup.exe installation file, but it gives that same error about an unconfigured spatiotemporal data store.

Setup.exe /qb ACCEPTEULA=YES USER_NAME=mydomain/myaccount PASSWORD=Mypassw0rd
REMOVE=Spatiotemporal

If I run describedatastore.bat, it doesn't list a spatiotemporal data store.

How can I troubleshoot this and remove the lingering connection?

Hi @cjms, I believe this is expected. When the data store was installed, the spatiotemporal data store component was enabled. You can try disabling this by going to the control panel > select the Data Store > Change. Uncheck the Spatiotemporal Data Store:

I would proceed with caution as I haven't tested if this affects the existing data stores installed (i.e. relational).

Hi cjm, From control panel- ArcGIS Data Store ,you can select Modify, and select Next.

Select Spatio-temporal datastore and click "The feature will be installed on local hard drive"

Hello @cjms,
This is expected as running the listdatasources utility at a command prompt returns a list of GeoEvent Server map services (for reference https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/data-store/11.1/install/windows/data-store-utility-reference.htm).

If there is no Spatiotemporal Big Data Store installed/configured on your deployment and listdatasources utility is not run on that machine, the Utility will not work.

Best.
