2. Install Data Reviewer for Server.

   Remarque :

   After the software installation wizard has completed, restart ArcGIS Server. This will ensure that the ArcGIS Server account can access your newly installed features.

Configuring the Map Service using the DRS Configuration Utility

Next, you must configure the Reviewer map service using a configuration utility. This utility will also add the Data Reviewer for Server extension to your ArcGIS Server site.

1. Click Start > All Programs > ArcGIS > ArcGIS Data Reviewer for Server > DRS Configuration Utility.
2. Verify that the URL listed in the URL text box points to the ArcGIS Server Administrator Directory. The format of this service directory is http://localhost:6080/arcgis/admin.

   Remarque :

   If you have installed Data Reviewer for Server in a cluster, you only need to run the DRS Configuration Utility against one machine in the cluster. The configuration changes will be automatically applied to each machine in the cluster.

3. In the Username and Password text boxes, type your ArcGIS Server primary site administrator user name and password. This is the account you use to log in to ArcGIS Server Manager.
4. Click Connect.
5. In the Add DRS extension area, click Browse.
6. Navigate to the location that contains the ESRI.ReviewerServer.soe file and click Open.

   Remarque :

   This file will be located in <ArcGIS Server installation folder>\ArcGISDataReviewerServer\Server<version>\Bin.

7. Click Add.
8. Click the drop-down arrow next to Select Map Service and choose reviewer.MapServer from the list.
9. Click Browse next to the Select New Reviewer Workspace text box.
10. Navigate to the location of the Reviewer workspace and click OK.

    Remarque :

    The ArcGIS Server account must have at least read access to the folder containing the .sde connection file that points to a Reviewer workspace. Do not choose a file geodatabase unless you will only use the Dashboard services.

    Remarque :

    If you have installed Data Reviewer for Server in a multimachine deployment, the Reviewer workspace path must be a UNC path and accessible to all machines in the deployment.

11. Click Apply.

    Remarque :

    If the Reviewer map service fails to start, you can restart the service from within the ArcGIS Server Manager.

12. Click Close to close the DRS configuration utility.
13. Test your configuration by browsing to the Data Reviewer Server services directory URL:

    http://<server name>:6080/arcgis/rest/services/reviewer/MapServer/exts/DataReviewerServer

    For a multimachine deployment, browse to the services directory URL through the ArcGIS Web Adaptor:

    https://<web adaptor url>/arcgis/rest/services/reviewer/MapServer/exts/DataReviewerServer

    The Data Reviewer services directory page displays the location and spatialReference of the Reviewer workspace and four Child Resources: Batch Validation, Dashboard, ReviewerResults, and Utilities.

The Data Reviewer for Server setup is complete. Next, you can configure web clients to enable web-based data quality workflows or change the batch validation scheduler database to an enterprise database.
