The first book from Esri Press about ArcGIS Enterprise, one of Esri's most important technologies for keeping your organization agile, collaborative, and responsive.

ArcGIS Enterprise is the foundational software system for GIS, powering mapping and visualization, analytics, and data management. Collaboration and flexibility are central to ArcGIS Enterprise, allowing you to organize and share your work on any device, anywhere, at any time. A thorough knowledge and understanding of ArcGIS Enterprise is essential to increasing the ability to work with others and remain responsive and resilient in today's increasingly demanding and changing business environment.

Getting to Know ArcGIS Enterprise covers the essential skills of planning, deploying, administering, using, and maintaining ArcGIS Enterprise. It addresses the most common and vital workflows ArcGIS Enterprise administrators need to understand.

Topics include:
understanding prerequisites and base deployment,
security settings basics,
managing users and content,
publishing ArcGIS manager and user-managed data,
maintaining data flows between the source geodatabase and clients,
consuming web layers for editing and spatial analysis,
sharing your work,
collaborating with other organizations,
troubleshooting,
backups and restoration,
and more.

The book is divided into four sections, each covering a logical part of using ArcGIS Enterprise:
• Implementing ArcGIS Enterprise: This section covers the basics of what is required for a functional ArcGIS Enterprise base deployment. These basics include understanding prerequisites, the anatomy of base deployment, installing and configuring ArcGIS Enterprise, securing ArcGIS Enterprise, and extending the base deployment.
• Administering ArcGIS Enterprise: This section describes how to properly administer ArcGIS Enterprise deployment. We will introduce a way for managing content, users, and groups. Additionally, this section covers how to manage content from different data sources.
• Using Common Workflows in ArcGIS Enterprise: This section is a primer on fundamental workflows that support a wide range of feature service usage. Some workflows covered include how to publish from a geodatabase, consuming web layers for editing and spatial analysis, and how to share your work.
• Maintaining and Troubleshooting in ArcGIS Enterprise: This section is a collection of topics that deal with running ArcGIS Enterprise in a safe configuration. Topics covered in this section include how to back up and restore ArcGIS Enterprise, how to find and apply patches, and how to prepare for a system upgrade.

Portal for ArcGIS and ArcGIS Server include built-in scanning tools that administrators can use to quickly identify any unresolved security issues. These Python script tools are portalScan.py and serverScan.py, respectively. If you have an organization with too many members to manually review, you may want to consider automating the review using the ArcGIS Portal Directory REST API or the ArcGIS API for Python. This article includes important information relating to the requirements to run the tool, pre-requisites including Python, and ArcGIS Enterprise version requirements.

If you publish Python script tools from ArcGIS Pro as web tools to ArcGIS Enterprise, you need to be sure that the Python environment is compatible in both. Each version of ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Server comes with a specific version of Python, and a particular set of Python packages. If these Python environments are different, the web tool may produce different results from the script tool run locally from ArcGIS Pro. Esri publishes documentation for geoprocessing service compatibility.

This book is a great choice for professionals, educators, and students who want to learn or teach modern GIS skills or who may be working to become certified as an ArcGIS Enterprise Administrator through the Esri certification program. Written by experts at Esri, Getting to Know ArcGIS Enterprise provides essential information for modern GIS administrators.
