Share an Image Service to a standalone Server from ArcGIS Pro

oookokkookookk — Sun, 21 Apr 2024 22:57:54 GMT

I am using ArcGIS Enterprise Server 10.8.1, standalone without a Portal. I also have ArcGIS Pro 3.2 and ArcMap 10.8.2.

In my ArcGIS Pro, I have some DEM .tif files under "2D Layers" with custom color ramp and those same DEM .tif files in "Ground" for the 3D elevation. I followed this blog: https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/3d-gis/3d-gis/creating-and-using-elevation-layers-in-arcgis-online-arcgis-pro/

I want to share this whole scene as an Image Service to my standalone Server so that this service can be used inside SceneView in my JS code.

Thus I have 2 questions:

1. Without the Portal, the Web Scene button under Share is grayed out. Is there a workaround?

2. I was able to publish those same DEM .tif files in ArcMap to my Server as a Map Service. Do you know if Map Service will be usable for 3D terrain in SceneView.

You sure can: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/3.1/help/sharing/overview/publish-an-image-service.htm

You'll need to create an publisher/admin connection to your stand alone arcgis server > right click the connection > publish image service

Hi @tigerwoulds,

Do you know why when I right click on the server connection in Catalog (a "Publisher Connection" and with an account which I set in Manager and added to the "Publisher" role), it still does not have a "Publish" button? I also restarted Pro.

Can you try with an admin connection instead of publisher? If it's still greyed out that would omit permissions as the culprit.

Where are you expecting a Publish "button" to be? What is described in the documentation, and how it works, is through a context-menu option and not a button somewhere. However, we may be talking about the same thing but using different terms.

@JoshuaBixby

According to the documentation tigerwoulds provided above, I am expecting a "Publish" button when I right click on a server connection in the "Catalog" panel in ArcGIS Pro.

@tigerwoulds

Something really weird happened.

Even though the "Administrator Connection" is selectable, it refused to let me change this for the server connection: a pop up says "Updating connection properties ... We were unable to connect to https://<my_server>/arcgis." So currently that connection type is stuck being "Publisher Connection".

I have tried to 1) create a new administrator role and add my previous user to that too AND 2) deleting that publisher role so my user only has administrator role. Both leads back to the above problem.

Also the list of services currently on my Server is correctly shown when I hit the drop down on the server connection in Catalog (including for example the "SampleWorldCities" and "System" and "Utilities").

That is very odd. Can you try this from a blank ArcGIS Pro project, does it let you create a new admin connection? Are you connecting using the FQDN or friendly URL (if you have Web Adaptors or a Load Balancer)

Yeah.

I created a new project. Still doesn't work. And just to clarify I am doing so in the Favorites tab inside Catalog and then Add Item->Server->New ArcGIS Server, which brings the old server connection here since Favorites is shared across projects. I also tried to create another server connection in this new project in Favorites.

I am using Web Adaptor with the ArcGIS Server, no Portal (or extra load balancer) installed. I am also using the FQDN for the Server URL in the format of "https://<my_server>/arcgis".

Maybe it is something with my company's security policy since this kind of random stuff has happened to me in the past because of that. 😅

Start with a clean slate: delete any favorites you have for this database connection. Next, rather than adding a connection to your favorites, add a new database connection from catalog view > right click databases > new database connection.

Once the connection is established and working as expected, you can right click > add to favorites.

Hello @oookokkookookk

I have the same issue. Do you solve it?

I ended up not using ArcGIS Pro. I used ArcPy script instead to publish the Terrain Image Service.

As a side note, for some reason, directly publishing to the server from the script failed. So I created a SD file first and used the Server Manager webpage to do it manually.
