Can't Publish Services With File Geodatabases

[sgn_GSI]

I'm having difficulty publishing any services to my ArcGIS Portal when the data does not reside in an enterprise geodatabase.

For a simplistic test I created a new project in ArcGIS pro, added a single feature class to the file geodatabase, and spotted three point features on the map. I then tried to publish a web layer with the following settings:

 

The publish processing tool always successfully uploads a service definition to the portal but fails to publish the service itself. In the midst of publishing, I can see a feature service appear in my Portal but it then vanishes once the process fails out. My ArcGIS Server captures the following logs:

My ArcGIS Server license is valid until 09/05/2025.

ArcGIS Pro logs the following information:

• StatusMessage: ERROR 001369: Failed to create the service. Failed to execute (PublishServiceDefinition). ERROR 001369: Failed to create the service. Failed to execute (PublishServiceDefinition). Failed to execute (Publish Portal Service). Failed.
  StatusMessage: Publishing web layer failed (AGO)
• StatusMessage: Server Response: {"error":{"code":404,"message":"Service Hosted/Test_Publish/MapServer not found ","details":[]}}
• StatusMessage: Server Response: ERROR: code:404, Service Hosted/Test_Publish/MapServer not found , No resource could be found at that address.
• Status: InProgress StatusMessage: Publishing tool execution failed
• Status: Failed ErrorMessage: Failed to publish web layer

I have a v10.9.1 and v11.0 ArcGIS Enterprises that I tried to publish this on without any success.

Has anyone encountered similar issues and found a solution? Any help is greatly appreciated.

After looking at your server manager logs, it appears that your ArcGIS Data Store is not licensed according to the error message. The behavior you're seeing makes sense because you don't use the ArcGIS Data Store when publishing from EGDBs. However, if you're copying the data to the server, it creates hosted feature services which use the data store.

You can try running the update license command to import your ArcGIS Server license into the ArcGIS Data Store and see if that fixes the issue.

I'm with Ryan.  The publishing method is saying take my fGDB and copy the schema and data to a hosted feature layer.  Given the age of the version, it is likely that you have received new license files for portal/server, but they do no replicate down to the ArcGIS Data Store.  Instead, you have to use the data store command line that Ryan mentions.  This will sync your data store to the hosting server, acquire the license and allow you to publish hosting services again.  In later versions this tool dissappears and the sync is automatic, but it's a manual step at your version.  

Should be quick to resolve.

Thank you for your help. It turns out I still had my data store on read-only mode, the license needed updated via running the batch file, and I had to give read write access to the data that I was attempting to upload. I've only dealt with Enterprise Geodatabases before which explains why my Data Store was never properly set up.
