WebOffice > Installation > ArcGIS for Server Object Extension for WebOffice (GIS Server)

With the ArcGIS for Server Object Extension for WebOffice installed, first it is necessary to prepare the WebOffice plotten templates (and optionally the WebOffice ePaper templates) and to share SynOutputService as a service.

Therefore, you have to copy some files first. Go to WebOffice10.2-DVD\Software\WebOffice directories\ and copy the following folders to <ArcGIS Server location>\directories\. By using a subdirectory of the <ArcGIS Server location>\directories it is ensured that the file system rights for accessing the folders are correctly set.:

Mandatory:

•	ServiceDocuments - used for saving your MXD documents. This way, you always know where to find your work documents.

•	WebOfficePlotTemplates - used for saving your plot templates (file extension .layout) and the SynPlotService.mxd that is used in the printing process.

•	WebOfficeDataShare - used for saving data which has to be processed by the SOE in order to avoid memory heaps. Skip copying this folder it it was already created during Configure WebOfficeDataShare.

Optional:

•	WebOfficeePaperTemplates - used for saving your WebOffice ePaper templates and the SynePaperService.mxd that is used in the ePaper generating process.

•	WebOfficeExport - used for saving all data relevant to WebOffice extract server. Copy it if you plan to use WebOffice extract server.

Note: If the resources for the WebOffice extensions 10.2 reside on a network share, please consider the hints for adapting the COM+ applications.

In the next step, copy the file SynOutputService.zip from WebOffice10.2-DVD\Software\WebOffice extensions\ to your ServiceDocuments directory and unzip it with a right mouse-click > Extract Here.

Extract the SynOutputService.zip

The ZIP file contains the SynOutputService.mxd and a folder SynOutputService with eight file geodatabases and another folder:

•	syn_markup_01.gdb

•	syn_markup_02.gdb

•	syn_markup_03.gdb

•	syn_markup_04.gdb

•	syn_upload_01.gdb

•	syn_upload_02.gdb

•	syn_upload_03.gdb

•	syn_upload_04.gdb

•	syn_upload_raster

You can delete the ZIP file after extraction.

Note: Make sure that either the Authenticated User or the user that runs ArcGIS Server has full rights for all syn_markup geodatabases. Otherwise there might be problems with displaying selections in WebOffice map widget or measure drawings won't be visible when printing the maps.

Note: Make also sure, that the attribute read-only of the folder SynOutputService (including subfolders) is NOT checked.

Note: Be sure that the user that runs ArcGIS Server has full rights for the file geodatabases! Otherwise, the Upload Local Geodata tool will not be available.

SynOutputService file structure

SynOutputService - Security settings for gdb

Now add the SynOutputService.mxd into ArcMap and if necessary set correct data source pointing to the geodatabases in the SynOutputService directory and save the MXD. Now it is necessary to register the file geodatabases of folder SynOutputService at the server so they will not be copied to the server during the publishing process. Right-click on your ArcGIS Server connection and press Server Properties.

Open server properties

Press the + button at Registered Folders, browse to the SynOutputService folder (e.g. <ArcGIS Server location>\directories\ServiceDocuments\SynOutputService) and enter a name. Confirm with OK.
