Viewing a REST service in Portal

[RickThiel]

Hello,

When browsing a ArcGIS REST service, ESRI offers the option to view the service in some standard viewers, like JavaScript, etc...

I know it is possible to add a link so that users can also View in: PORTAL, but I lost my notes on how to do it.  Would someone please refresh my memory on how to do that?

Thank you.

Hello,

I just got my answer from Chris Woodside at ESRI (thanks Chris!).

"The View-In text can be found in your ArcGIS Server admin directory.  i.e.

http://<servername>:6080/arcgis/admin/system/handlers/rest/servicesdirectory "

Hello Rick,

Did you have to manually edit that value from the default or did it change itself when you federated your ArcGIS Server site with Portal for ArcGIS?

Hi Bill,

At our workplace we are not using federation with our ArcGIS Server environment, because we do not want all services to automatically be added to Portal (i.e. we add selected services to Portal manually). So, for this setting in Server Admin, we had to manually update the value.
