If publishers need to publish web services that reference registered data stores, those data stores must first be added to ArcGIS Enterprise. Organization members with the privilege to register data stores can add the following types of data store items through the portal:
- Folders using paths that have already been registered with ArcGIS Enterprise
- Databases
- Cloud storage
An administrator can add folder data stores using paths that are not already registered with ArcGIS Enterprise. The registration process for new folder paths causes all system services, utility services, and map and feature services running on shared resources to restart. The services cannot be used while they are restarting, which can take up to 15 minutes. For this reason, it is recommended that you register folder data stores when you create the ArcGIS Enterprise organization. After the organization has been created, administrators can register a new folder path through the portal, or they can register persistent volume (PV)-based folder data stores from ArcGIS Enterprise Manager.
Note:
When enforcing the restricted pod security standard, registration of folder data stores is limited to PV-based folder data stores.
After a data store item has been added through the portal, the owner of the item or an organization administrator can use the portal to manage the data store item. After a PV-based folder data store has been added to ArcGIS Enterprise, an administrator can use Enterprise Manager to manage the data store.
