Add databases to an ArcGIS Server site on Microsoft Azure

To store service data, you can add one of the following types of databases to stand-alone or federated ArcGIS Server sites on Microsoft Azure using ArcGIS Enterprise Cloud Builder for Microsoft Azure:

• Microsoft Azure SQL Database
• Microsoft Azure SQL Managed Instance
• Microsoft Azure Database for PostgreSQL
• A Microsoft SQL Server database on Microsoft Azure

The database can serve one of the following roles:

• A managed database—Managed databases store feature service data. When you publish, the data from your data source is copied to the managed database and the feature service reads the data from it. When you delete the feature service, the data is deleted. Managed databases provide a way for you to copy data to Azure so that it is running in the same region as your ArcGIS GIS Server site. An ArcGIS GIS Server site can have only one managed database.
• A registered database—You can register a database to store simple source data on Azure. You can connect to the database from an ArcGIS Pro client running in the same region on Azure to publish services that reference this data.
• A registered database that contains a geodatabase—You can add an enterprise geodatabase to store source data on Azure. To create datasets in the geodatabase, connect to it from an ArcGIS Pro client running in the same region on Azure. Once the geodatabase contains data, you can connect to it from this client and publish services that reference this data.

To move data to a registered database or geodatabase, see the Microsoft Azure documentation for information on loading data to an Azure database as a service or database on a virtual machine.

Лицензия:

Registered databases that use geodatabase functionality and managed databases on Microsoft Azure are only supported with enterprise-level licenses. Managed databases can only be used with ArcGIS GIS Server sites, but registered databases can be used with ArcGIS GIS Server or ArcGIS Image Server sites.

Create and register a database

Follow these steps to create and register a database with an ArcGIS Server site:

1. Start ArcGIS Enterprise Cloud Builder for Microsoft Azure.
2. Sign in to Microsoft Azure.

   If the ArcGIS Server site with which you want to register the database is in the Microsoft Azure Government cloud, check U.S. Government Cloud.

3. Choose an Azure Active Directory tenant, click Next, choose the subscription that contains the ArcGIS Server site to which you will add a registered database, and click Next.
4. Ensure V2 Sites is selected.
5. In the Deployments list, click the Register a database with the site button next to the ArcGIS Server site deployment.
6. Choose the database service or database to use.
   • Microsoft Azure SQL Database
   • Microsoft Azure SQL Managed Instance Database
   • Microsoft Azure Database for PostgreSQL

     Примечание:

     Cloud Builder will only create Microsoft Azure Database for PostgreSQL (Flexible Server) instances. However, if you have an existing single-server instance to use, you can choose it rather than creating an instance in step 11.

   • Microsoft SQL Server
7. Choose what to register:
   • To register a managed database, check both the As a Managed Database and Enable As Geodatabase check boxes. Only one managed database is allowed per ArcGIS Server site.
   • To register an enterprise geodatabase to use as a data source, uncheck the As a Managed Database check box, and check the Enable As Geodatabase check box.
   • To register a database to use as a data source, uncheck both the As a Managed Database and Enable As Geodatabase check boxes.

Use an existing database

If you have an existing database instance in the Azure portal that you want to register with an ArcGIS Server site that you created using Cloud Builder, provide the name of the existing Database Server, Database, and Database Administrator username and password when you register it using Cloud Builder.

To register an existing SQL Server instance on Azure, you must also do the following to allow communication with the instance:

• Change the SQL Server instance's authentication method to SQL Authentication.
• Create or enable a SQL Server-authenticated database administrator account.
• Open port 1433 in the virtual machine's firewall.

See the Microsoft documentation for instructions.
