Does anyone have a batch script to change the pooling paramaters of all services in a AGS Enterprise folder?

RobertBuckley1 — Tue, 02 Mar 2021 08:25:47 GMT

I have 80 services which are hardly used. I want to set the pooling parameter to Min=0 and Max=2 for all services using a batch script. Would anyone know how to do this?

You could edit this script to loop through your services. Example Edit Service Properties

This is exactly the script that I have been trying to adapt. I can't seem to find one which loops through an AGS Folder though.

Use the python API.

https://developers.arcgis.com/python/api-reference/arcgis.gis.server.html#service

Specifically an edit operation against the GIS admin service object. You would parse back the exact same JSON properties with your edits to minInstancePerNode and maxInstancePerNode.

https://developers.arcgis.com/python/guide/managing-your-gis-servers/#Administering-services

Here is the section of the guide that introduces the object.

Add a for loop like in this script. Example Stop or Start All Services in a folder

This is my script ...but the properties do not get changed. Anyone know why?

# For Http calls
import httplib, urllib, json

# For system tools
import sys

# For reading passwords without echoing
import getpass

Hello,

Somewhat off topic but I'll share for your consideration anyway. If your version of ArcGIS Enterprise supports shared instances, suggest changing all your infrequently used services from dedicated to shared pool. In our Enterprise this has improved overall computing resource utilization at the cost of supporting a few ArcSOC processes that are fairly large resource consumers. The major benefit has been an overall reduction in the number of ArcSOC processes running and the ability to host more services without running up against heap space limits in the Windows OS.

Now a question: Who has a script to change existing dedicated service to shared pool.
