Install ArcGIS Data Store

Once you have an ArcGIS Server site that you want to use for your portal's hosting server, install ArcGIS Data Store.

Install ArcGIS Data Store

Run the ArcGIS Data Store installation wizard and complete the steps in the configuration web application to set up a primary machine for a data store and register it with ArcGIS Server. Alternatively, you can run the installation from a command prompt. Follow the instructions in the appropriate section for the method you want to use.

Run the installation wizard

Follow these steps to install ArcGIS Data Store using the installation wizard:

1. Verify that your computer meets the minimum system requirements for ArcGIS Data Store.
2. Modify the firewall of the data store computer to allow communication on ports 2443 and 9876.

   If the firewall on the data store computer blocks communication through these ports, ArcGIS Server can't connect to the data store.

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

   Esri recommends 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 wizard can create the account for you.

4. Run the ArcGIS Data Store installation wizard.
5. The installation wizard will ask you to provide a location for the installation directory. The installation directory contains the ArcGIS Data Store application files. Specify a location on the computer where you want these files to be stored.
6. The installation wizard requires you to provide a login and password for a Windows domain or local account. Provide credentials for an existing account, or allow the wizard to create a local account.

   If you use a local Windows account, you won't be able to define a shared backup location until you change to a domain account.

The ArcGIS Data Store Configuration wizard will open when the installation wizard completes. Use the wizard to create a relational and tile cache data store. To create only a tile cache data store or to create a spatiotemporal big data store, close the wizard and use the configuredatastore utility instead.

Install from a command prompt

You can call the installation file from a command prompt and provide the necessary information to install ArcGIS Data Store.

1. Verify that your computer meets the minimum system requirements for ArcGIS Data Store.
2. Modify the firewall of the data store computer to allow communication on ports 2443 and 9876.

   If the firewall on the data store computer blocks communication through these ports, ArcGIS Server can't connect to the data store.

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

   Esri recommends you use a domain account, so you may need to request this from your IT department.

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

   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 default location of C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\DataStore will be used.

   Use the USER_NAME and PASSWORD options to specify the Windows account to be used for the ArcGIS Data Store account.

   The syntax for this is as follows:

   <path to ArcGIS Data Store setup>\Setup.exe /qb {INSTALLDIR=<directory>} USER_NAME=<account login> PASSWORD=<account password>

   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, you can create a data store.
