RJ, am I understanding the tutorial correctly that I just need one Web Adaptor?    On the machine listed as the WebGIS server there is one Web Adaptor listed for Portal.   Do I need a Web Adaptor for the ArcGIS Server instance on the "WebGIS" machine?

[RJSunderman]

A Web Adaptor is requried for Portal, but optional for Server. All of the training and presentations I have attended have a Web Adaptor installed and configured for Portal and a second Web Adaptor installed and configured for Server (you can install Web Adaptor multiple times on a single machine).

Assuming that you had two machines (WEBGIS and REALTIME) on your local domain (ARMY.MIL) you might configure access to your Portal / Server / GeoEvent endpoints as follows:

WEBGIS (Your WebGIS machine)
Portal Home	https://webgis.army.mil/portal/home/
Server Manager	https://webgis.army.mil:6443/arcgis/manager/
Server REST Services Directory	https://webgis.army.mil/server/rest/

In the examples above, the Web Adaptors were configured with the names 'portal' and 'server'. Notice that administrative access has been disabled in the Web Adaptor configuration for Server, which is why you need to specify port 6443 and the default .../arcgis pathname when accessing Server Manager.

REALTIME (Your Server/GeoEvent machine)
Server Manager	https://realtime.army.mil:6443/arcgis/manager/
GeoEvent Manager	https://realtime.army.mil:6143/geoevent/manager/

Since GeoEvent is not supported by the Web Adaptor, and we generally recommend that you not access Server Manager through a Web Adaptor, the last two URL examples above don't use a Web Adaptor. In fact, Web Adaptor is not even installed on the REALTIME server in the BDS system architecture presented in the tutorial.

Thank you, RJ.   That explanation is quite helpful.

Hi,

It is not clear if the real time server should be part of the site created by the web gis server or if it should be it's own site.  There is no talk of configuring a central file share to hold the configuration store to be accessed by both machines, so I guessed that each server should be in its own site.  Could you clarify?

Thanks,

Marc

Marc,

You guessed it right.

The real time server is in a separate site (site "B")

The webgis server is in site "A".

For more info you can have a look at the graphic on page 5 of Real Time GIS Spatiotemporal Big Data Store Tutorial.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
