Configure system managed data stores

In ArcGIS Enterprise Manager, administrators can register system managed storage to support raster analytics in their organization and update the credentials of object stores configured with cloud service providers.

Add a raster store

To register a raster store, complete the following steps:

1. Sign in to ArcGIS Enterprise Manager as an administrator.
2. Click the Data stores button in the sidebar.

   The data stores page appears.

3. In the Raster stores section, click Add store.
4. Enter a name for the raster store.
5. Select a storage service for the raster store.
   • Amazon S3
   • Azure Blob
   • Google Cloud Storage
   • Relational store
   1. If using Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3), provide the following information:
      • Bucket name—The name of the bucket created in Amazon S3.
      • Region—The region where the bucket was created.
      • Folder (optional)—The name of an existing or non-existing root directory in Amazon S3 that can be used for the object store. The root directory should not contain files created or used by an existing organization. If no value is specified, the default arcgis is used. If there is already a root directory named arcgis in the bucket, you must specify a new and unique root directory name.
      • Authentication type—Choose either Access key or IAM role.
      • If using access key as the authentication type, provide the following information:
        • Access key—Paste or type the access key for the IAM user.

      • Storage account—The name of the parent storage account the container exists under.
      • Folder (optional)—The name of an existing or non-existing root directory in Azure Blob that can be used for the object store. The root directory should not contain files created or used by an existing organization. If no value is specified, the default arcgis is used. If there is already a root directory named arcgis in the bucket, you must specify a new and unique root directory name.
      • Authentication type—Choose either Shared key or Azure active directory.
      • If you selected Shared key, paste or type the primary or secondary account key for the associated storage account.
      • If you selected Azure active directory, paste or type the client ID.
   3. If using Google Cloud Storage, provide the following information:
      • Bucket name—The name of the bucket created in Google Cloud Storage.
      • Folder (optional)—The name of an existing or non-existing root directory in Google Cloud Storage that can be used for the object store. The root directory should not contain files created or used by an existing organization. If no value is specified, the default arcgis is used. If there is already a root directory named arcgis in the bucket, you must specify a new and unique root directory name.
      • Access key—Paste or type the access key for the service account.
      • Secret key—Paste or type the secret key for the service account.
   4. If using a relational store, choose a database connection file.
6. Click Add store.
