Using the ArcGIS Data Appliance with ArcGIS Server Web mapping applications

For ArcGIS users with Internet access, there are some other options for using or developing Web mapping applications using ArcGIS Data Appliance services. This includes ready-to-use, hosted Web Apps that can be used to access Internet accessible GIS services and Web APIs for developing fully customized web applications.

This document includes information on using the locators and routing services included on the ArcGIS Data Appliance with your maps; you can use these services only if you purchased the optional licenses for geocoding and/or routing.

Accessing ArcGIS Data Appliance locators in a Web mapping application

To access an ArcGIS Data Appliance locator in your Web application, you need to make a connection to your ArcGIS Server system:

  1. Open ArcGIS Server Manager, and create a web application or update an existing application.
  2. Click Next until the Create Web Application - Tasks window displays.
  3. Click Add Task to add a new task.
  4. Under Available Tasks, select Find Address, and click OK.
  5. With Find Address selected, click Supporting Services.

  6. Click Add in the Supporting Services dialog box.
  7. Select Add GIS Server.
  8. In the Add Server dialog box, select the service Type and enter the URL for the server where the locators were deployed, for example, http://myserver/arcgis/services. Click Add to add the connection to the ArcGIS Online task server.
  9. In the Available Services dialog box, in the Layers in drop-down menu, select the Locators folder, and select the Geocode Service you want to use in your web application, for example, TA_Address_NA. Click OK.

    The Geocode Service displays in the Supporting Services dialog.

  10. If you want to set a task name, click Configure. Enter a Task Name, Button Text, and a Help Tip if desired. Click OK.

  11. Continue creating your Web application by completing the remaining panels of the ArcGIS Server Manager wizard.

NOTE: You can use the locator services only if you purchased the optional license for geocoding.
