Arcgis Pro - Share as Geodata Service

MuratDemircan — Wed, 15 Aug 2018 14:59:35 GMT

Hi,

Is there anyone before try to share geodata service in ARGIS PRO like we use button "Share as Geodata Service..." in Arcmap?

I searched for documents about this. But it always led me to Arcmap.

Is there anyone know how to share geodatabase in Arcgis server by using Arcgis Pro?

This is a good question. Right now, it doesn't seem like sharing a geodata service with ArcGIS Pro is an option.

What is the intended purpose for the geodata service?

I primarily see geodata services used for replication.

However, replica workflows like "Create Replica" and "Synchronize Changes" are not available with ArcGIS Pro.

There is some vigorous discussion surrounding SDE replication functionality in Pro, or lack thereof: Replication Tool Support for ArcGIS Pro, Replication Tools in Pro, https://community.esri.com/community/gis/applications/arcgis-pro/blog/2018/10/04/working-with-distributed-data-using-arcgis-enterprise-and-arcgis-pro, with a great deal of concern surrounding what is perceived as a requirement that the underlying data be tied to a web services model in order to participate in "replication-like" scenarios, and a disappointing lack of disputing the perception, which leads to, be sure to vote on Pro: Bring back the Manage Replicas tool.

Has anyone tested the new replication tools that were added in the ArcPro 2.5 release last week (first week of February 2020)? the look and feel are different but the Create Replica and Synchronize change geoprocessing tools are now available along with a versioning/rec and post tool on the ribbon. However what I can not find is how to publish a Geodata Service out of Pro to ArcServer and I am getting an error message when I try to used the one I had previously created in desktop. The Error message is, ERROR 002950: Replication Error: CreateReplica error: ImportData failed because existing datasets collide with datasets to be imported." Anyone else had a similar experience?

Connor Friese‌ / Kory Kramer‌ - Any updates on this?

We're wondering if publishing Geodata Services is going to be supported from ArcGIS Pro in the near future. I'm curious because we've gone live with Attribute Rules in ArcGIS Pro and that is a problem since Geodata Services can only be published from ArcMap.

The reason that's a problem is because once you apply an Attribute Rule to a Feature Class, you can no longer view that data in ArcMap. And if that Feature Class was published as a Map/Feature Service that was originally published from ArcMap it will no longer work. You have to republish the service from ArcGIS Pro to fix it.

With that being said... If Geodata Services can only be published from ArcMap, then replication workflows will no longer work on those Feature Classes/Datasets that have Attribute Rules applied to them.

I am encountering this exact same issue. Any resolution that you know of? I see the thread has gone quite...

Jared,

I have not seen any resolution but discovered other issues in trying to set up DB replication using ArcPro and the ArcMap published geodata service. The workaround, that we have been testing is to create the replica in ArcMap then use that replica in ArcPro. So far that seems to work for our situation however testing has not been completed.

George,

Good to know, thanks! Yeah I was a bit surprised that the create replica tool in Pro seemed to only be able to connect to a DB rather than an existing Geodata Service. I guess I had misinterpreted the abilities when reading replication in Pro. At a quick glance I thought I could connect to existing GDS published via Catalog.

With 10.8.1/10.8.2 being the last expected versions of ArcGIS Desktop you'd think they'd add the ability to publish geodata services by now if this capability will be maintained going forward. The main use case is rep/sync'ing when there is a firewall preventing direct access to the database and the only connection option is HTTPS/443.

It appears that Esri has added a way to publish a Geodata Service at ArcPro version 3.0, Replication and geodata services—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation however it seems you can only publish to an enterprise/portal ArcServer which is not our organizations current replication workflow to allow outside agencies the ability to access databases for replication. Has anyone been able to use ArcPro to publish a Geodata Service to a traditional standalone ArcServer? Or know if this functionality will be included in future ArcPro releases?

Currently I am not able to create a replica using existing Desktop published geodata service to a standalone ArcServer although the ArcPro 3.0.3 Create replica From Server geoprocessing tool that looks like it would allow you to do so. I keep getting a generic Error message 000582, 000582: Error occurred during execution.—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation which is no help.

George, I'm just testing Geodata Service workflows and hitting a wall. We have a 11.2 Enterprise portal to which I can publish the geodata service, but I'm not seeing how our other users access it to create a replication process. I'm curious as to where your journey with Geodata Services has gone these past few years. Do you still use them in your workflows or have you abandoned their use all together?

GeorgeStrebel — Thu, 15 May 2025 21:44:42 GMT

Gary, Yes we still use database replication as our main way to share 911 data between agencies. With some back and forth with Esri and a few version upgrades we were able export our database connection as an offline service definition (see screenshot below) then log into our ArcServer using ArcServer Manager upload the definition file to create the geodata connection. We then treat the geodata service like we did before when you could right click on the database connection you wanted to publish as a geodata connection. I have not spent any more time trying to figure out how use the geodata service through portal because it would force our users to be set up as external agencies in Azure to access portal (which would force us to use the named user convention and although it should be able to be done the logistics policies and outside organizations was to much at this point. Hope this helps you.
