IServerObjectAdmin Interface

Provides access to members that administer the ArcGIS server.

Product Availability

Description

IServerObjectAdmin provides methods to retrieve server configuration information and to administer the ArcGIS Server.

The IServerObjectAdmin interface can be obtained by a call to GISServerConnection.ServerObjectAdmin.

When To Use

Use the IServerObjectAmin interface when your application connects to the ArcGIS Server to administer the server's set of server object configurations and server object types, and for administering aspects of the server itself, such as the list of machines that may host server objects.

If your application is connecting to the server to make use of objects in the server, use the IServerObjectManager interface.

CoClasses that implement IServerObjectAdmin

Remarks

Any application that runs as a user account in the agsadmin user group on the ArcGIS Server can use the IGISServerConnection interface to connect to the ArcGIS Server and to get a reference to the ServerObjectAdmin. If the user account is not part of the agsadmin user group the ServerObjectAdmin property on IServerConnection will return an error. Applications that are running as accounts that can connect to the server but are not part of the agsadmin user group can use the ServerObjectManager property on IGISServerConnection to get a reference on the ServerObjectManager.

The IServerObjectAdmin interface has the necessary methods for an application to adminstrate both the set of server object configurations and types associated with the server, and to administer aspects of the server itself. The following administration functionality of the ArcGIS Server is exposed by methods and properties on IServerObjectAdmin :

Adminster server object configurations:

• Add and delete server object configurations
• Update a server object configuration's properties
• Start, stop and pause server object configurations
• Report the status of a server object configuration
• Get all server object configurations and their properties
• Get all server object types and their properties

Administer aspects of the server itself:

• Add and remove server container machines
• Get all server container machines
• Add and remove server directories
• Get all server directories
• Configure the server's logging properties
