When ArcGIS Mapping is deployed globally to a SharePoint farm using the ArcGIS Mapping command line utility (SpConfigUtility.exe), they will automatically be deployed to all web applications and site collections that were within the farm at the time of deployment. If a web application or site collection is created after deployment, or if it was not targeted in the initial deployment, ArcGIS Mapping must be explicitly deployed to that web application in order for the ArcGIS Mapping features to be available. One option for doing this is using the -install command of the ArcGIS Mapping command line utility (SpConfigUtility.exe). For further information on this approach, refer to the Install topic.

Alternatively, you can use SharePoint's administrative interface to deploy ArcGIS Mapping to web applications and site collections. Instructions for this approach are provided below.

Activate for a web application

To make ArcGIS Mapping available for new web applications, do the following:

1. Open a browser and navigate to the SharePoint Central Administration web application.
   
   
2. From the Operations tab, select Solution Managment:
   
   
   
   
3. On the Solution Management page, click esri.arcgis.webparts.wsp:
   
   
   
   
4. On the Solution Properties page, click Deploy Solution:
   
   
   
   
5. On the Deploy Solution page, select the web application to deploy ArcGIS Mapping to and click OK:
   
   

 

Activate for a site collection

It is also possible to activate ArcGIS Mapping for individual site collections through SharePoint's interface. The following steps walk through this process.

1. In a browser, navigate to the default page for the site collection.
   
   
2. Go to Site Actions --> Site Settings.
   
   
   
   
3. Click on "Site collection features".
   
   
   
   
   
4. Click on the Activate buttons for the ArcGIS Geolist Web Part, ArcGIS Map Web Part, and ArcGIS Mapping Administration features.
