Adding a map service

The final and most important deployment step is to publish map services. These services will reference the map caches and map documents on the Data Appliance data collection. You create these services the same way you create any other ArcGIS for Server service.

Follow these instructions for each map service that you want to create:

Steps:

1. Log in to ArcGIS for Server using an account with administrative privileges.
2. Start ArcGIS Server Manager, and log in using your ArcGIS for Server account.
3. In ArcGIS Server Manager, click the Services tab.
4. Click Add New Service.
5. In the Name field, type the exact name of the corresponding map cache folder on the Data Appliance data collection, for example, World_Physical_Map from the World Collection. The name of the service must exactly match the punctuation from its cache folder name.

   Available Map Services by data collection

   Basemap Collection map services	World Imagery Collection map services	World Collection map services
   World_Boundaries_and_Places World_Street_Map World_Topo_Map World_Transportation	World_Imagery USA_Topo_Maps	DeLorme_World_Base_Map Ocean_Basemap World_Boundaries_and_Places World_Boundaries_and_Places_Alternate World_Imagery World_Navigation_Charts World_Physical_Map World_Shaded_Relief World_Street_Map World_Transportation

   Note:

   World Collection map services are not as detailed as the services with the same name in the other data collections. See the Data Appliance for ArcGIS Collections topic for details on the differences.

6. Verify that Type is Map Service and Startup Type is Automatic. Click Next.
7. In the Map Document field, browse to the source_documents_xx\2D_map_documents folder on the Data Appliance data collection, for example, source_documents_wc\2D_map_documents on the World Collection. Choose the map document that you want to publish.
8. In the Server Cache Directory field (or Cache Directory if you are using Java Manager), select the cache directory you added that references the cache_xx directory on the Data Appliance data collection, for example, cache_wc. If you don't see the directory listed, you'll need to revisit the Configuring ArcGIS Server to use the Cache Directory on the Data Appliance topic in this document.
9. You have set all the essential properties for your service, so accept the rest of the default properties and publish the service. If you want to make an adjustment to the services, such as changing the maximum number of instances that can be published, you can edit the properties in ArcGIS Server Manager.
10. If necessary, start the service in ArcGIS Server Manager by checking the box next to the service name and clicking Start.
11. Repeat this process for any other map services you want to configure.
