Hinweis:

If the Maritime Chart Service has never been installed on this machine, see Installing Mapping and Charting Solutions for Server.

  1. Log in to the machine as a user with administrative privileges.
  2. Start the Mapping and Charting Solutions for Server setup program.
  3. Click Next on the Welcome to the Mapping and Charting Solutions for Server Setup Program pane of the installation wizard. The License Agreement dialog box appears.
  4. Review the license agreement and accept it, or exit if you do not agree with the terms.
  5. Click Next.
  6. The Maritime feature should already be selected. If not, click the drop-down arrow and choose This feature will be installed on local hard drive.
  7. Click Next. The Ready to Install the Program dialog box appears.
  8. Click Install to begin installation.
  9. Once the installation is complete click Finish.
  10. Repeat steps 1 through 9 for each machine in a multiple-machine site.
  11. Login as a Server Manager by launching https://localhost:6443/arcgis/manager.
  12. Click Services.
  13. Stop the map service with Maritime Chart Service capabilities configured.
