An overview of ArcGIS Data Store configuration

Follow these steps to configure ArcGIS Data Store for use with an ArcGIS Enterprise portal.

Note that you must create an ArcGIS GIS Server site before you can create a data store.

1. Configure ArcGIS Server and Portal for ArcGIS.
2. Install ArcGIS Data Store.
3. If you require communication with ArcGIS Data Store to always authenticate through SSL using a certificate from a certifying authority, replace the default ArcGIS Data Store certificate.
4. Create a relational data store.
5. If you require high availability for your data store, add a data store machine.
6. Specify a shared location for backups.
7. If you require different types of data stores be used with your portal's hosting server, repeat steps 2 through 6 on additional machines.

Tip:

See Esri technical article 25639, which includes links to technical papers to help you deploy a tile cache data store to meet your scene layer needs.
