Configure WebOfficeDataShare

CAUTION:

With version WebOffice 10.7, WebOffice author (ArcMap) will be officially deprecated; i.e. will be delivered with WebOffice 10.7 for the last time. New features of WebOffice from version 10.7 will mostly only be implemented in WebOffice author standalone. WebOffice author (ArcMap) is no longer delivered with WebOffice 10.9 R4.

Please install WebOffice author standalone!

 

In some scenarios (especially WebOffice plot extension and WebOffice ePaper) there may occur memory heaps if the Server Object Extension has to process too much data. In order to avoid these peaks, a data share directory has to be configured.

 

Take the following steps to configure the WebOfficeDataShare:

Open the Application Configuration

 

Open the application configuration

Open the application configuration

 

In the subelement WebOffice add a List of Data Share Directories.

 

Add a list of data share directories

Add a list of data share directories

 

Add the element Data exchange path.

 

Add a data exchange path

Add a data exchange path

 

Configure the necessary parameters

Note: The actual folder will be copied to the server in chapter Publish the SynOutputService. It is also possible to create a new folder within this step and to skip copying this particular folder in the other chapter.

Property

Description

Server

Host name of the ArcGIS Server.

e.g. http://<server name>:6080/arcgis

Access path from  App Server

Access path from Application Server.

Specifies the path for accessing the datashare directory from the WebOffice 10.9 R4 application server. Define a local server drive for Single Server installation scenario or an UNC path for distributed installation scenario.

Notes:

It is recommended to create the datashare directory on the GIS Server (e.g. C:\arcgisserver\directories)

The directory must have the name WebOfficeDataShare, otherwise no Directory Cleanup will be performed (see: Cleanup of Directories)

The same directory, that is configured Access path from GIS Server, must be referenced!

The Windows user account(s) used for running ArcGIS Server and Apache Tomcat must have read and write rights on this directory.

If WebOffice 10.9 R4 application server and ArcGIS Server reside on same machine, you can specify the same path like for Access path from GIS Server attribute.
