There are multiple ways to publish web layers that reference registered data to federated servers in an ArcGIS Enterprise deployment.
- You can publish from ArcGIS Pro.
- You can place prebuilt caches in a folder or cloud storage data store and create a 3D tiles layer, scene layer, tile layer, or vector tile layer in the portal that references the caches.
- If you own a database data store item that references a relational database, you can publish all accessible feature classes and tables from the data store item in the portal.
Once published, you can use the layers described in the next sections in the maps and apps you create.
What you can publish to federated servers from ArcGIS Pro
To publish layers from ArcGIS Pro that reference your source data, you must register the folder or database that contains the data with the federated server. You can register the data source in ArcGIS Pro or add the data source as a data store item in the portal. You can then publish to one of the federated servers with which you registered your data source.ArcGIS Pro 2.7 is the minimum supported version you can use to publish to ArcGIS Enterprise on Kubernetes.
For instructions to publish from ArcGIS Pro, see Introduction to sharing web layers and its related pages in the ArcGIS Pro help.
What you can publish from a data store item
When you add a database data store item to your organization, it registers the database with the servers you specify. When you publish content from a database data store item in the portal, you publish map services with feature access enabled to one of those federated servers.
Item and service dependencies
How an item is created affects the relationship between the portal item and the underlying service, which, in turn, affects how you manage the portal item. See Services and portal items for information on item and service dependencies and the impact on editing and deleting items.
