Access Pooling Properties - Dedicated/Shared - via REST API

[MatthewGeorge]

Is it possible access the pooling properties for an Map/Feature Service via the REST API? I can see that it's possible to get/set the min/max instances but I can't see any properties that indicate if it is a shared or dedicated instance.

[Trevor_Hart]

Yes you can but it’s on the admin api.

Also the provider will be set to “DMaps” for shared pool services. 

[MatthewGeorge]

Thanks Trevor, I'll take a look.

[MatthewGeorge]

Thanks Trevor but I believe that is just a setting for the ArcGIS Server itself where it will default to the shared instance pool for new services. I need to get the property for each individual service.

[Trevor_Hart]

Oh yes sorry that was the wrong link. Should be this one.

I’ve used this to bulk update the minimum instances for each service in the past. 

[MatthewGeorge]

Yeah that's the only documentation I can find and there's no reference to whether the service is set to use shared or dedicated instances, only min/max instances.

[Trevor_Hart]

That’s what the provider setting indicates.

If it’s DMaps it’s shared pool. If it’s ArcObjects it’s dedicated. 

[Trevor_Hart]

So this is a dedicated service

This is a shared pool service - notice the instances are set to zero

What version of AGS is that from? I'm seeing min/max of 1/2 for shared and no provider property.
