The following sections describe new functionality and changes for ArcGIS Data Store 11.4.
ArcGIS Data Store upgrades
You cannot upgrade to ArcGIS Data Store 11.4 from version 10.7.1 or earlier. To upgrade these versions to 11.4, first upgrade to an interim version, as shown below, and then upgrade that version to 11.4. Read the upgrade documentation for the interim version to perform the interim upgrade.
| Starting version | Interim version |
|---|---|
10.7 or 10.7.1 | 10.8.0 – 11.3 |
10.6.1 or earlier | 10.8.0 – 10.9.1 |
After you upgrade, you are encouraged to configure an object store if you have not already included one in your ArcGIS Enterprise deployment to allow members of the organization to publish hosted scene and 3D tiles layers. For more information, see the next two sections.
Migration of hosted scene layer caches from tile cache data store to object store
As of the 11.4 release, the tile cache data store is deprecated. In a future release, it will no longer be supported. That means the following for ArcGIS Data Store 11.4:
- When you upgrade an ArcGIS Enterprise deployment that includes a tile cache data store, you will also upgrade the tile cache data store. Use the configuredatastore utility to complete the upgrade, not the Data Store Configuration wizard. Existing hosted scene layers will still function.
- To publish hosted scene layers in an upgraded or new ArcGIS Enterprise deployment, you must configure an object store.
If you upgrade and have existing hosted scene layers, you are encouraged to migrate their caches from the tile cache data store to the object store. The administrator of the hosting server can run the MigrateSceneService utility that is installed with ArcGIS Server to move hosted scene layer caches.
Configure an object store for hosted 3D tiles layers and scene layers
Before the members of the ArcGIS Enterprise organization can publish hosted 3D tiles layers or publish hosted scene layers, you must configure an object store. If the ArcGIS Enterprise deployment already contains an ArcGIS Data Store object store, it will be used.
Evaluate the capacity of the existing machines in the ArcGIS Data Store object store. If organization members will publish large 3D tiles layers or scene layers, or a large number of these types of layers, consider adding disk space to the object store machine if it was deployed in single instance mode. If the object store was deployed in cluster mode, you can add disk space to the existing machines or add machines to the object store to account for additional data storage needs.
Additional changes for the ArcGIS Data Store object store
The following are more changes related to the object store at this release:
- When the machine where the object store is running has only 5 GB of free disk space remaining, ArcGIS Data Store will place the object store in read-only mode to avoid data corruption.
- The webgisdr utility installed with Portal for ArcGIS can include the object store in the deployment backup files that it creates.
Changes and additions to ArcGIS Data Store utilities
The following are changes and additions to ArcGIS Data Store utilities:
- You can now use the changedatastoremode utility to place the object store in read-only mode and return it to read-write mode.
- You can use the heap-size configuration option of the changedbproperties utility to alter the amount of heap-size memory used by the object store when it starts.
- The new changewebserverconfig utility allows you to enforce HTTP Strict Transport Security for the ArcGIS Data Store web server.
- You can now use the removemachine utility to remove a machine from an object store cluster.
- The new disabledatastore utility allows you to stop the tile cache data store without affecting other ArcGIS Data Store types that are running on the same machine. Use this utility after you migrate all hosted scene layer caches to the object store and complete testing.
