Install ArcGIS Data Store

You can install ArcGIS Data Store using an using an interface or run the installation file from the command line. Specify the type or types of data store to install on each machine.

Note:

• Esri recommends that each type of data store run on a different machine, and that your ArcGIS Server sites run on machines separate from the data stores so that they don't compete for memory and other resources.

  This is especially important for the spatiotemporal big data store, object store, and graph store. Install those on their own machines separate from any ArcGIS Server sites and other data stores; otherwise, resource issues could result in inoperable data stores. See the Disk space and memory considerations in Create a data store for more information.

• The license that you purchase for ArcGIS Knowledge Server dictates the core capacity of the machines where you install the graph store. See the product sales update for ArcGIS Knowledge Server for more information.

Install ArcGIS Data Store

Complete the steps to Prepare to install ArcGIS Data Store, and then install ArcGIS Data Store using the installation interface or from a command prompt.

Prepare to install ArcGIS Data Store

Complete these steps before you install ArcGIS Data Store:

1. Verify that your server meets the minimum system requirements for ArcGIS Data Store and read Considerations before creating a data store.
2. Modify the firewall of the data store server to allow communication on ports needed for the type of data store you will create.

   If the firewall on the data store server blocks communication through these ports, the GIS Server site can't connect to the data store.

3. Create a Microsoft Windows account to be used for the ArcGIS Data Store account.

   It is recommended that you use a domain account, so you may need to request this from your IT department. If you choose to use a local Windows account, the installation interface can create the account for you, but it will not work if you have more than one machine that runs ArcGIS Data Store.

4. Download the ArcGIS Data Store setup packages from My Esri.

   Note:

   Starting with 12.0, there are two ArcGIS Data Store self-extracting files— ArcGIS_DataStore_Windows_<version>_<productID>.exe and ArcGIS_DataStore_Windows_<version>_<productID>.exe.001. Download both files.

5. To extract the setup files, double-click the ArcGIS_DataStore_Windows_<version>_<productID>.exe setup package and specify a folder on the server where you will install ArcGIS Data Store.

   Note:

   The ArcGIS_DataStore_Windows_<version>_<productID>.exe and ArcGIS_DataStore_Windows_<version>_<productID>.exe.001 files must be in the same folder when you extract their contents.

6. Before you begin the installation, read the End User License Agreement (EULA), which is included as a PDF in the \Documentation folder of the ArcGIS Data Store download.

Run the ArcGIS Data Store installation

For an interactive installation experience, follow the steps below:

1. Double-click the Setup.exe file to run the ArcGIS Data Store installation.

   The interface prompts you to provide a location for the installation directory. The installation directory contains the ArcGIS Data Store application files.

2. Choose the type of data store to install on this machine.

   Esri recommends that you install data store types on separate machines to avoid resource contention between data stores. This is especially important in the case of spatiotemporal big data stores, graph stores, and object stores. Do not install these data stores on the same machine as other data stores or ArcGIS Enterprise components.

   If a data store type is already installed on this machine, that option will be disabled.

3. Specify a location on the local machine where you want the data store files to be stored.
4. Provide credentials for the ArcGIS Data Store account you created in the preparation steps, or allow the installer to create a local account.

   You must provide a login and password for a Windows domain or local account.

   If you use a local Windows account, you cannot define a shared backup location until you change to a domain account.

   If you allow the installer to create a local account, the password you provide must adhere to your operating system's local security policy. Read the Microsoft documentation for instructions to determine the password requirements of your Windows machine.

   After installation, you can run the configureserviceaccount utility to change the ArcGIS Data Store account if needed.

The Data Store configuration app opens when the installation completes. Use the configuration app to create a relational data store, object store, spatiotemporal big data store, or graph store and register it with the GIS Server site you will use as the portal's hosting server.

Install from a command prompt

Instead of using an interface, you can call the installation file from a command prompt and provide the necessary information to install ArcGIS Data Store by following the steps below:

1. Open a command prompt using the Run As Administrator option.
2. Run the ArcGIS Data Store setup from the command line.

   The syntax to run the setup file from the command line is as follows:

   <path to ArcGIS Data Store setup>\Setup.exe /qb ACCEPTEULA=<yes | no> {ADDLOCAL=<graph | object | relational | spatiotemporal | ALL} {MSA=<true | false>} {INSTALLDIR=<directory>} USER_NAME=<account login> PASSWORD=<account password>

   Option	Description
   /qb	The /qb option is not required, but it allows you to run the setup without prompts (also called a silent installation). Use this if you script the installation.
   ACCEPTEULA	The ACCEPTEULA option is required to accept the End User License Agreement during a silent installation. Specify yes to agree to the End User License Agreement and install the software. Specifying no or omitting this property will result in a failed installation.
   ADDLOCAL	Use the ADDLOCAL option to specify the type of data store to install on this machine. Esri recommends that you install data store types on separate machines to avoid resource contention between data stores. This is especially important in the case of spatiotemporal big data stores, graph stores, and object stores. Do not install these data stores on the same machine as other data stores or ArcGIS Enterprise components. If you do not specify the ADDLOCAL option, it defaults to relational,object.
   INSTALLDIR	The first time you install ArcGIS Data Store on a machine, you can specify an installation directory for the data store using the INSTALLDIR option. If you do not specify a directory the first time you install ArcGIS Data Store on a machine, the default location of C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\DataStore is used.
   MSA	To use a group managed service account for the ArcGIS Data Store account, specify the MSA option and set it to true. If you do not specify the MSA option, it defaults to false. A managed service account must already exist on your domain if you set the MSA option to true. Do not use the MSA option with a local account or a domain account that requires a password.
   USER_NAME	Use the USER_NAME option to specify the login to be used for the ArcGIS Data Store account. If you set the MSA option to true, use the USER_NAME option to specify the group managed service account. If you did not specify the MSA option or you set it to false, use the USER_NAME option to specify the local or network Windows login to use for the ArcGIS Data Store account. For domain accounts (which include group managed service accounts and Windows network logins), provide the domain and account name; for example, for Windows account myaccount on domain mydomain, specify mydomain\myaccount with the USER_NAME option.
   PASSWORD	Use the PASSWORD option to specify the password of the local or network Windows login that you provided for the USER_NAME option. Do not use the PASSWORD option if you provided a group managed service account for the USER_NAME option.

   In the following example, a domain account is specified when installing ArcGIS Data Store, the relational data store files are installed, and the silent option (/qb) is specified to avoid prompts:

   <path to ArcGIS Data Store setup>\Setup.exe /qb ACCEPTEULA=yes ADDLOCAL=relational INSTALLDIR=c:\arcgisdatastore USER_NAME=mydomain\mylogin PASSWORD=D0mayneAcc0untPw

   In this example, a group-managed service account is used and the files for a spatiotemporal big data store are installed:

   <path to ArcGIS Data Store setup>\Setup.exe /qb ACCEPTEULA=yes ADDLOCAL=spatiotemporal MSA=TRUE INSTALLDIR=c:\arcgisdatastore USER_NAME=mydomain\managedserviceaccount

   Caution:

   If you do not specify the ArcGIS Data Store account during a silent (/qb) installation, or you provide invalid credentials, the setup displays a warning message during installation. The message can be closed by clicking OK. Under these circumstances, the ArcGIS Data Store account is set to the Windows LocalSystem account.

Next step

After you install ArcGIS Data Store, create the data store type (or types) that you installed.
