There are a few tasks that you need to complete on the ArcGIS Server machine. Your agency must use Accela GIS with the supported version of ArcGIS for Server. The configuration is the same between ArcGIS Server 10.x and a later version. For simplicity, this configuration guide refers to the ArcGIS Server version as 10.x. See the Civic Platform release notes on Accela Community for details about the supported versions of ArcGIS Server. Follow the instructions in this chapter to complete configuration. Note: The machine that hosts the Accela GIS server must install Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6. See the Civic Platform release notes on Accela Community for the latest supported version. Topics Installing ArcGIS Server 10.x Installing ArcGIS 10.x Web Adapter (IIS) Connecting to ArcGIS Server 10.x Registering Your Data with ArcGIS Server 10.x Installing and Configuring Accela GIS Server Object Extensions (SOE) for ArcGIS 10.x Installing ArcGIS Server 10.x As an exclusive 64-bit application, ArcGIS Server 10.x requires a 64-bit Windows computing system, such as Windows Server 2008 R2. Before you install ArcGIS Server 10.x, make sure you have completely removed the earlier version of ArcGIS Server from that machine. See the “Installation Guide” on ESRI’s ArcGIS Server documentation for details about installing ArcGIS Server 10.x. Installing ArcGIS 10.x Web Adapter (IIS) ArcGIS 10.x Web Adapter is a component in ArcGIS 10.x that allows ArcGIS Server 10.x to integrate with your existing web server. If you want users to see the existing port such as 80 instead of the default port 6080, install the web adapter after completing the installation of ArcGIS Server 10.x. Accela GIS for ArcGIS Configuration Guide 2: Configuration Prerequisites 9 See “Installing ArcGIS Web Adapter” on ESRI’s ArcGIS Server documentation for details about installing ArcGIS 10.x Web Adapter (IIS) Connecting to ArcGIS Server 10.x If you want to manage ArcGIS 10.x for Sever and create required GIS services, you must connect to ArcGIS Server 10.x in ArcMap 10.x. The Catalog window in ArcMap 10.x allows three options for connecting to an ArcGIS Server site: Use GIS services: User connection. You can only view and use the services published to the site. Publish GIS services: Publisher connection. You can publish GIS resources to your server, configure and publish draft services, but you cannot edit any properties of the site. Administer GIS server: Administrative connection. You can edit server properties and manage services. Accela recommends that you create an administrative connection to manage GIS services. To connect to ArcGIS Server 10.x 1. Open ArcMap 10.x. 2. In the Catalog window, expand the GIS Servers node and double-click Add ArcGIS Server. ArcMap launches the Add ArcGIS Server wizard. Accela GIS for ArcGIS Configuration Guide 2: Configuration Prerequisites 10 3. Mark the Administer GIS server option and then click the Next button. The wizard displays the General page. 4. Complete these fields: Server URL Enter the URL of the ArcGIS Server site you want to connect to. Server Type Select “ArcGIS Server” from the drop-down list. Staging Folder Mark the Use ArcGIS Desktop’s staging folder option. User Name Enter you user name and password for the ArcGIS Server site you want to connect to. Password You can mark the Save Username/Password option. Accela GIS for ArcGIS Configuration Guide 2: Configuration Prerequisites 11 5. Click the Finish button. ArcMap adds a new ArcGIS Server connection node in the GIS Servers folder. Registering Your Data with ArcGIS Server 10.x Before you publish a service to ArcGIS Server 10.x, you can use ArcMap 10.x to register data directories and databases with the ArcGIS Server. Data registration gives the server a list of locations that the server administrator has verified that the GIS server can access. Data registration also helps the GIS server understand how to adjust data paths when publishing across machines. For details about how to register your data with ArcGIS Server 10.x, see http:// resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.x/index.html#//015400000504000000/. Installing and Configuring Accela GIS Server Object Extensions (SOE) for ArcGIS 10.x This section only applies to Accela Silverlight GIS. ArcGIS Server 10.x does not support local connections from Web ADF applications. If your agency uses Accela GIS 7.2.0 or a later version with ArcGIS Server, you must install Accela GIS Server Object Extensions to migrate the business logic from local connections to HTTP connections. This section provides instructions about how to install and configure Accela GIS Server Object Extensions (SOE) when your agency uses ArcGIS Server 10.x or later. Take ArcGIS Server 10.x for illustration purposes. Topics Software Requirements Installing Accela GIS Server Object Extensions Enabling Capabilities for a Map Service on ArcGIS Server 10.x Accela GIS for ArcGIS Configuration Guide 2: Configuration Prerequisites 12 Setting a Time-out Value for Offline Map Downloading Software Requirements Make sure your operating system meets the software requirements before you install or upgrade to a new version of Accela GIS Server Object Extensions for ArcGIS Server 10.x or later. Table 2: Software Requirements Host Requirements ArcGIS Server • Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.x or later • Internet Explorer 11 • .NET Framework 4.6 • ArcGIS10.x for Server or later (post installed and licensed) Note: See the Civic Platform release notes on Accela Community for the latest supported versions. Installing Accela GIS Server Object Extensions Depending on whether you have installed Accela GIS Server Object Extensions before, the installer provides different options for you to perform a fresh installation, modify an existing instance, and uninstall an existing instance. To deploy Accela GIS Server Object Extensions to ArcGIS Server 10.x 1. Get the latest Accela GIS Server Object Extensions Installer zip file from the CRC: • If ArcGIS Server is hosted on Windows 2012, use the AGIS_Server_Object_Extension_For2012_9.1.0.zip file to deploy Accela GIS Server Object Extensions to ArcGIS Server. • If ArcGIS Server is hosted on Windows 2008 R2, use the AGIS_Server_Object_Extension_For2008R2_9.1.0.zip file to deploy Accela GIS Server Object Extensions to ArcGIS Server. 2. Unzip the file, and make note of the Accela GIS Server Object Extensions install folder location.

Enabling Capabilities for a Map Service on ArcGIS Server 10.x When you install Accela GIS Server Object Extensions, the Accela Editing and Accela Download capabilities are added to map service properties. To enable users to create and edit GIS features on a map service, you must enable the Accela Editing capability for the map service. To allow the Accela GIS server to download a data package from the ArcGIS server for offline maps, you must enable the Accela Download capability for both the map service and the routing service. This section provides instructions about how to enable those capabilities for a map service that the ArcGIS Server 10.x hosts. The process of enabling the Accela Download capability for a routing service is just similar to that for a map service. For offline map downloading, you may also follow the instructions in Setting a Time-out Value for Offline Map Downloading on page 18 to set proper time-out values. To enable capabilities for a map service on ArcGIS Server 10.x 1. Open ArcMap 10.x. 2. In the Catalog window, expand the GIS Servers node and then expand the ArcGIS Server node that you have added as Connecting to ArcGIS Server 10.x on page 9 instructed. 3.

Topics Creating a Feature Dataset Creating Feature Classes in the Feature Dataset Creating an MXD or MSD File Adding Layers to a Map Publishing Services Creating a Feature Dataset For information about how to create a feature dataset, see ESRI’s ArcGIS Server documentation. Creating Feature Classes in the Feature Dataset For information about how to create feature classes in the feature dataset, see ESRI’s ArcGIS Server documentation. Creating an MXD or MSD File To publish a GIS service such as a map service or a geometry service, you must first create a map document (.mxd) or a map service definition (.msd) file. The map service definition (MSD) file is a new file that the fast map service drawing engine uses. Creation of an MSD file always starts with an MXD file. After you finish creating and configuring an MXD map document, you use the Map Service Publishing toolbar to analyze your MXD file in ArcMap. When you have addressed issues returned by the analysis, you can use the same toolbar to save the MXD map document as a map service definition file in any location where the ArcGIS Server administrator can access and publish it. After you save the MSD file, it is no longer connected with its parent MXD. If you edit the MXD, you need to use the Map Service Publishing toolbar to save an updated MSD. When you overwrite the old MSD, remember to restart the map service to register the changes. Accela GIS for ArcGIS Configuration Guide 3: Setting Up Map Functionality 21 For information about creating a map document, see ESRI’s ArcGIS Server documentation. Adding Layers to a Map Each layer references a dataset that is stored in a geodatabase, coverage, shapefile, raster, and so forth. To add layers to a map, you simply click the Add Data button on the ArcMap toolbar and navigate to the desired dataset. Then select and add the dataset to your map. After then, save the map document. Figure 1: Add a Dataset to a Map on page 21 shows how to add a dataset to a map. Figure 1: Add a Dataset to a Map For other ways to add map layers, see ESRI’s ArcGIS Server documentation. Publishing Services You can use ArcMap 10.x or later to publish services to the ArcGIS Server. Table 3: Accela GIS Supported Services on page 22 lists the service types that Accela GIS supports. Accela GIS for ArcGIS Configuration Guide 3: Setting Up Map Functionality 22 Table 3: Accela GIS Supported Services Service Type Description Map service Publish a map service if you want to make the map available to Accela GIS users. (including map service for routing) The procedure of publishing a map service for routing is the same as that of publishing a map service. The only difference is that the GIS resource for a routing service contains the data sources with the routing layer information while a map service does not have routing layers. See Chapter 6: Setting Up Routing Functionality on page 36 for more information. After publishing map services, you can retrieve them from the ArcGIS Server through the Accela GIS Administration site. If you choose Esri ArcGIS Server as the GIS provider, the Map Service drop-down list in the GIS Server Settings section on the Map Service Connection page contains all the map services that your agency published either to the root folder or its subfolders. And the Routing Service drop-down list in the Routing Service Settings section contains all the routing services published either to the root folder or its subfolders. For more information about how to retrieve services, see the “Setting up a Connection to a Map Service” section in the “Setting up a Map Service Connection” chapter of the Accela GIS Administrator Guide. Geocode service Publish a geocode service if you want to enable the geocoding functionality for Accela GIS users. See Chapter 5: Setting Up Geocoding Functionality on page 34 for more information. After publishing geocode services you can retrieve them from the ArcGIS Server through the Accela GIS Administration site. If you choose Esri ArcGIS Server as the GIS provider, the Geocoding Service drop-down list in the Geocoding Service Settings section on the Map Service Connection page contains all the geocode services that your agency published either to the root folder or its subfolders. For more information about how to retrieve services, see the “Setting up a Connection to a Map Service” section in the “Setting up a Map Service Connection” chapter of the Accela GIS Administrator Guide. Geodata service Publish a map service at first, and then publish a geodata service with the same name as the map service, if you want to enable the Accela Mobile Office Offline Mapping functionality for Accela GIS users. See Chapter 7: Setting Up Accela Mobile Office Offline Mapping on page 51 for more information. Accela GIS for ArcGIS Configuration Guide 3: Setting Up Map Functionality 23 Table 3: Accela GIS Supported Services (Continued) Service Type Description Geometry service The geometry service helps applications do geometric calculations such as buffering, simplifying, calculating areas and lengths, and projecting. To make the buffer tool in Accela GIS work, this service is always required. In ArcGIS 10.x or later, you just need to start the geometry service because it is automatically created for you in the Utilities folder when you install ArcGIS for Server. Image service Publish an image service if you want to make Esri’s world street and imagery maps available to Accela GIS users. After publishing image services, you can retrieve them from Esri Image Server through the Accela GIS Administration site. When you choose Esri Image Server as the GIS provider, the Map Service drop-down list in the GIS Server Settings section on the Map Service Connection page populates with all the image services that your agency published either to the root folder or its subfolders. For more information about how to retrieve services, see the “Setting up a Connection to a Map Service” section in the “Setting up a Map Service Connection” chapter of the Accela GIS Administrator Guide. This section provides you with instructions about publish a map service, a geocode service, a geodata service, a geometry service, and an image service to ArcGIS Server 10.x or later. The process of publishing a service with ArcGIS Server 10.x is the same as that with a later version of ArcGIS for Server so this section takes ArcGIS Server 10.x for illustration purposes. Topics Publishing a Map Service to ArcGIS Server 10.x Publishing a Geocode Service to ArcGIS Server 10.x Publishing a Geodata Service to ArcGIS Server 10.x Administering the Geometry Service on ArcGIS Server 10.x Publishing an Image Service to ArcGIS Server 10.x Publishing a Map Service to ArcGIS Server 10.x You can publish a map document as a map service or as a map service for routing to ArcGIS Server 10.x.

For complete information about publishing a geocode service to ArcGIS Server 10.x, see http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.x/index.html#//00250000004p000000. Publishing a Geodata Service to ArcGIS Server 10.x This section only applies to Accela Mobile Office. In ArcGIS 10.x, the Geodata Access capability is no longer available and you must follow the steps in this topic if you want to access the Distributed Geodatabase toolbar through a geodata service. Accela GIS for ArcGIS Configuration Guide 3: Setting Up Map Functionality 28 Note: Pay attention to the following things when you publish a geodata service: • • There must be a map service with the same name as the geodata service you are about to publish. If there is no such a map service, publish it at first and then publish the geodata service. See Publishing a Map Service to ArcGIS Server 10.x on page 23 for more information. The dataset names in the geodatabase for the geodata service must match the layer names in the map document for the map service. For example, if the map document have a layer named “Streets”, the geodatabase must have a dataset exactly named “Streets”.Open the map document in ArcMap and go to the Table of Contents window to check the layer names. To publish a geodata service to ArcGIS Server 10.x 1. Open ArcMap 10.x. 2. In the Catalog window, right-click the geodatabase that you want to publish. Accela GIS for ArcGIS Configuration Guide 3: Setting Up Map Functionality 29 3. From the right-click menu, click Share as Geodata Service. ArcMap displays the Share as Service window. 4. Follow step 4 to step 11 to publish the geodatabase as a geodata service. For information about publishing a geodata service to ArcGIS Server, see http:// resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.x/index.html#//015400000378000000/. Administering the Geometry Service on ArcGIS Server 10.x The geometry service is automatically created for you in the Utilities folder when you install ArcGIS Server 10.x. By default, the geometry service is not started after you complete your ArcGIS for Server installation. Before you can use the geometry service to do geometric calculations, you need to start it in ArcGIS for Desktop. For complete information about starting a geometry service, see ESRI’s ArcGIS Server documentation. Note: Please do not move the geometry service from the Utilities folder to another folder on the server. ArcGIS for Server may not find the geometry service if you have ever moved it. Publishing an Image Service to ArcGIS Server 10.x To publish an image service to ArcGIS Server 10.x 1. Open ArcMap 10.x. 2. From the Catalog window, right-click the dataset or layer that you want to work with. Accela GIS for ArcGIS Configuration Guide 3: Setting Up Map Functionality 30 3. From the right-click menu, click Share As Image Service. ArcMap displays the Share as Service window. 4. Follow step 4 to step 11 to publish the dataset or layer as an image service. For information about publishing an image service to ArcGIS Server 10.x, see ESRI’s ArcGIS Server documentation. 31 C HAPTER 4: CREATING A CACHED MAP SERVICE A cached map service is a regular map service that is enhanced to serve maps very quickly using a cache of static images. You can create a cache from any existing map service using ArcMap. After you create the map cache, ArcGIS Server can use the tiles and does not have to dynamically render the map again. For complete information about how to plan, create, and use a cached map service, see ESRI’s ArcGIS Server documentation. Cached map services support all the other functionality as dynamic map services do, except the Creating and Editing GIS Features, Dynamic Themes, and Accela Mobile Office Offline Mapping functionality. To enable users to use the cached map service in Accela GIS, follow the instructions in this chapter to configure the ArcGIS Server. Topics Creating an MXD or MSD File Verifying the Scale Range Settings for Each Map Layer Publishing a Map Service Creating a Map Cache Creating an MXD or MSD File You can publish either an MSD or an MXD map document as a map service. However, cache tiles get created more quickly with an MSD-based service. For more information, see Creating an MXD or MSD File on page 20. Verifying the Scale Range Settings for Each Map Layer Open the map in ArcMap and examine the layer properties to determine if there are any scaledependent layers and at which scales they turn on and off. If a layer does have a scale dependency, include a scale level in your tiling scheme at which the layer is visible. For more information about adding scale levels in your tiling scheme, see Creating a Map Cache on page 32. For example, if a layer is set to be visible between the scales 1:15,000 and 1:25,000, you can include 1:20,000 as a scale in your tiling scheme to ensure the layer appears in your cache. See Figure 2: Scale Range Example as an illustrative example of a correct scale range. Accela GIS for ArcGIS Configuration Guide 4: Creating a Cached Map Service 32 Figure 2: Scale Range Example Publishing a Map Service Before creating a map cache, you have to publish a dynamic map service to ArcGIS Server 10.x or later. For more information, see Publishing Services on page 21. Creating a Map Cache You can use ArcGIS 10.x or later to create a map cache based on the dynamic map service you just published. After creating the map cache, you can configure it through the Accela GIS administration site. For more information about configuring a cached map service, see the “Setting up a Connection to a Map Service” section in the “Modifying Map Integration Settings” chapter of the Accela GIS Administrator Guide.

To use Accela Mobile Office offline mapping, you must download the GIS data and the Map document to the local Accela Mobile Office client machine. Accela Mobile Office uses ArcGIS Engine software and locally downloaded map document and data to provide offline mapping functionality. Topics Ensuring GIS Data Sources Are in the ArcSDE Geodatabase Ensuring ArcGIS Engine Is Installed and Licensed Properly Verifying the SDE Server Name Entering the IP Address as the ArcGIS Server Name Verifying the User Access Creating a Map Service and a Geodata Service Configuring the MIME Type and Request Filtering in IIS Updating the Map Integration Environment Ensuring GIS Data Sources Are in the ArcSDE Geodatabase Ensure that all the GIS data sources used for Mapping and Routing, including Imagery data, are in the ArcSDE geodatabase. If GIS data is stored in a file or personal geodatabase, use the geodatabase to create a geodata service. Typically, the MXD file is used to create a geodata service. If the MXD file is used to create a geodata service, the data cannot be downloaded for offline use from the file or personal geodatabase. Ensuring ArcGIS Engine Is Installed and Licensed Properly Ensure ArcGIS Engine Runtime for Windows is installed and licensed on each Accela Mobile Office client machine. ArcGIS Engine is a subset of ESRI ArcMap desktop software. If you have ArcMap installed, ArcGIS Engine needs not be installed. Accela GIS for ArcGIS Configuration Guide 7: Setting Up Accela Mobile Office Offline Mapping 52 Verifying the SDE Server Name Use the computer name or domain name as the SDE Server name. Accela recommends using the computer name or domain name as the SDE Server name in the SDE Connection file. The MXD file including connection information is downloaded to the Accela Mobile Office client machine using ArcGIS Engine. After the MXD file is downloaded to the Accela Mobile Office client, ArcGIS Engine API changes the MXD data source from SDE to the local data. While changing the data source, ArcGIS Engine opens the MXD file. If the name is used, ArcGIS Engine API attempts to resolve name; if the name cannot be reached, it times out immediately and successfully changes the MXD data source to use the local data. Entering the IP Address as the ArcGIS Server Name When you configure Accela GIS, Accela recommends entering the IP Address as the ArcGIS Server name. If you use the Domain Name System (DNS) as the ArcGIS Server name but the ESRI API cannot resolve the DNS to retrieve services, then you must enter the IP address as the ArcGIS Server name on the Map Service Connection page. For more information on how to configure Accela GIS, refer to the Accela GIS Administrator Guide. Verifying the User Access In order for ArcGIS Server to package data, you must verify if the user has proper access to the directories where the related data reside, as shown in Table 4: User Access Verification on page 52. Table 4: User Access Verification User Modify access to these directories Read access to these directories • The directory where the MXD files used by Map and Route map services reside. • ArcGISServer\config-store arcgis Typically, the ESRI ArcGIS Server installer sets directory permissions. • The directory where the SDE connection file resides. The SDE connection file used by MXD is typically available in ArcCatalog directory under the User Profile, for example, C:\Documents and Settings\alakkyreddy\Application Data\ESRI\ArcCatalog. Creating a Map Service and a Geodata Service Use the same MXD file to create a map service and a Geodata service and ensure the Geodata service name is the same as the map service name. For complete information about publishing a geodata service, see Publishing Services on page 21. Note: To allow the Accela GIS server to download a data package from the ArcGIS Server for offline maps, you must enable the Accela Download capability for the map service and the routing service and set proper time-out values for offline map downloading. For more information, see Enabling Capabilities for a Map Service on ArcGIS Server 10.x on page 15. Accela GIS for ArcGIS Configuration Guide 7: Setting Up Accela Mobile Office Offline Mapping 53 Configuring the MIME Type and Request Filtering in IIS You must manually add the MIME type .mxd into the “arcgisoutput” virtual directory on the ArcGIS Server machine, if it is not available. And you must update the “Request Filtering” setting to allow the access to the “.mxd” file name extension. To configure the MIME type and request filtering 1. Open Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager. 2. In the Connections pane, navigate to the “arcgisoutput” directory and click it. Note: The ArcGIS installer usually creates the “arcgisoutput” directory and displays it in IIS on the ArcGIS Server machine. If the directory is not available in IIS, you need to manually add an application for it in IIS. Select the correct physical path of the “arcgisoutput” directory that is used by the ArcGIS Server. 3. In the arcgisoutput Home page, do all of the following: • To add the MIME type, if necessary. 1) Double-click MIME Types. 2) In the Actions pane, click the Add button. 3) Complete the fields in the Add MIME Type dialog box: File name extension .mxd MIME type application/octet-stream 4) Click OK. • To allow access to the “.mxd” file name extension 1) Double-click Request Filtering. 2) In the Request Filtering pane, click the File Name Extensions tab. 3) Right-click the “.mxd” file name extension and click Allow File Name Extension. Updating the Map Integration Environment If you have already set up a map integration environment for Accela Mobile Office offline mapping, open the Accela GIS Administration site and create a map data package for Accela Mobile Office clients to download and use for offline mapping. For more information on how to edit an existing map integration environment, see the “Editing a Map Integration Environment” section in the “Modifying Map Integration Settings” chapter of the Accela GIS Administrator Guide. To allow the Accela GIS server to download offline maps with geocoding data, you must provide the name and the physical location of the address locator that is published as the geocoding Accela GIS for ArcGIS Configuration Guide 7: Setting Up Accela Mobile Office Offline Mapping 54 service in ArcGIS Server when updating the map integration through the Accela GIS Administration site. For more information, see the “Retrieving and Selecting a Geocoding Service” section in the “Setting up a Map Service Connection” chapter of the Accela GIS Administrator Guide. 55 C HAPTER 8: ENABLING USERS TO CREATE GIS FEATURES This chapter applies only to Accela Silverlight GIS, and explains the tasks that you must complete to enable users to create or edit GIS features on a map. Topics Creating an ArcGIS Map Service with Non-Shapefile Source Applying Geodatabase Attribute Domains to Attributes (Optional) Creating an ArcGIS Map Service with Non-Shapefile Source You can only use SDE data source to create an ArcGIS map service. Note: To enable users to create and edit GIS features on a map service, you must enable the Accela Editing capability for the map service. For more information, see Enabling Capabilities for a Map Service on ArcGIS Server 10.x on page 15. Applying Geodatabase Attribute Domains to Attributes (Optional) To ensure that users enter valid attribute values when creating or editing a GIS feature in Accela Silverlight GIS, you can create attribute domains for the geodatabase and apply them to the attribute fields of map layers in ArcCatalog. A geodatabase attribute domain defines a set of acceptable attribute values for a field type. An attribute domain is a property of the geodatabase, it can be shared by fields across feature classes (map layers), tables, and subtypes in the geodatabase. You can create either a coded value domain or a range domain. For more information about creating a range domain, see ESRI’s ArcGIS Server documentation. For more information about creating a coded value domain, see ESRI’s ArcGIS Server documentation. Accela GIS for ArcGIS Configuration Guide 8: Enabling Users to Create GIS Features 56 To apply a geodatabase attribute domain to an attribute field of a map layer 1. In ArcMap, right-click the feature class (map layer) that you want to apply the attribute domain to and click Properties in the context menu. ArcMap displays the Feature Class Properties dialog box. 2. Click the Fields tab. 3. In the Field Name column, click the field that you want to modify. ArcMap displays the properties of the field in the Field Properties area. 4. In the Field Properties area, click the Domain field. ArcMap displays a drop-down list with all the attribute domains defined for the geodatabase. 5. Select an attribute domain and then click the Apply button. ArcMap applies the attribute domain to the selected field. Accela Silverlight GIS then displays the attribute fields accordingly when users create or edit a GIS feature. If a coded value domain is applied to the attribute field, the attribute field displays a drop-down list of valid attribute values in Accela Silverlight GIS. If a range domain is applied to the attribute field, Accela users can enter a numeric attribute value only within the specified range. 57 C HAPTER 9: ARCGIS ONLINE WEB MAP CONFIGURATION This chapter is a quick guide for configuring and publishing an ArcGIS Online Web Map service.
