Publishing from Pro - "Federated Server Not Available"

MichaelKnapp — Fri, 21 Feb 2020 20:17:39 GMT

Hi there -

We've typically created services from MXDs, but are testing publishing to our Enterprise Server from a Pro document.

We have the data source registered in the data store, and the active portal in Pro is our enterprise portal logged in with an account that we've used to publish services from MXDs.

When I go to "Publish Web Layer", we get the "Federated Server Not Available" warning. I did confirm that our federation is correct and functional.

Any ideas as to what might be going on here?

Using Pro 2.4.2

I'm not finding much online about this, which makes me think I must be missing something simple.

Thanks!

Hi Michael,

Does your Active Portal have any federated servers, if so it should look something like this (although you can have more than one)?

Cheers

Will

Michael Knapp‌ Did you ever resolve this issue?

Will Booth I am having the same issue. I can confirm that, in my case, I have an ArcGIS Server site federated with Portal for ArcGIS.

Hi Jonathan,

I got the same issue like you. Having ArcGIS Server site federated with Portal for ArcGIS but still get "Federated Server Not Available" when publishing from ArcGIS Pro.

Before my ArcGIS Server is not a Hosting Server, and when I made it a Hosting Server, it works. So let try it for your temporary solution.

Regards.

This is how you can publish from ArcGIS Pro to a stand-alone ArcGIS Server (ArcGIS Pro starting at 2.4.x+ and ArcGIS Server 10.6.x+). There are limitations to what can be published.

Thank you for the reply and this information. Although I am not sure that it applies to my particular case. I am working with a federated server on enterprise 10.7 and trying to published a layer from a database that is registered.( I can publish this same data from ArcMap, but for this particular instance I need to use pro).

I get the error message "Federated server not available" when trying to publish. Any ideas what could be wrong or what settings I need to check?

You need to update the hosting server properties in your above screenshot. Once a hosting server is designated, the workflow should be successful.

Ok, thank you for your help. To clarify, does this mean that I need a data store?

Yes, I believe that you will need a DataStore configured for the hosting server.

In your publishing screenshot, you have it as "Copy all Data", if you change it to "Reference registered data" what is the outcome?

I see that i never properly closed this question out.... with some help from esri support, we realized that our inability to publish directly from Pro has to do with how we configured our Enterprise Portal, and didn't have anything to do with Pro.

I'd offer more details, but those are in notes at the office, and I've been remote for the past 3 months!

Ok, thank you for that verification. In all the material I have come across today, it states that I need a data store in order to set my federated server as the hosting server. I just wanted to be sure.

If I set it to "Copy all Data", unfortunately the outcome is the same.

Michael,

Thanks for the reply! That seems to be our issue as well. Need to have a data store configured with a federated server and set as the hosting server, in order to publish from pro. Still able to publish from ArcMap without a data store, but .. I am trying to take advantage on some of the settings in pro, so alas, went down this rabbit hole.

If you have access to Esri support, it might be worth giving them a call.... it took esri a little while to navigate all the back-end settings and identify what was causing the issue. Sorry I can't offer more detail than that right now.

Re: Publishing from Pro - "Federated Server Not Available"

AndersBerg — Wed, 17 Jun 2020 20:39:42 GMT

Yup, this was the solution. Configured a data store for our portal and now can publish from pro as expected.

Ok I realized that it has to do with the trusted servers in my case. In your portal security setting, you should add your adrcgis servers as trusted servers. this solved the problem for me.

A user just got this error in ArcGIS Pro trying to publish to ArcGIS Enterprise 10.9.1. The issue was permissions- they did not have the Publisher role in Portal. Once I changed the user's role, the error message went away.

Just an FYI..., if you don't have your ports configured, you get the same response. Essentially, Pro can't communicate with Server, nor Portal.

We experienced this when implementing 10.9.1 and we had to roll the VM back to an earlier image - the ports weren't open on the firewall at that point and thus we had to add the firewall port rules again on the machine.
