Lab 5: ArcGIS Server
Due Sep 25
14. Guides and Help
Virtual Machine for ArcGIS Server will be used in this lab. Use the username of DELETE ME and
password of 123456 to login to the VM. Use ESRI documentation as a main source; remember
Google is your friend; ask TA for help if nothing works.
15. Create a Static Map
15.1. Author GIS Service Content in ArcMap
From data folder in drive C:
 Add some layers (as least three layers with polygon, polyline, and point)
 Modify the symbols to make a nice map
 Save the project as yourname.mxd
15.2. Publish a Map Service
Use Map Service Publishing from ArcMap (also feel free to use Map Service Publishing toolbar,
ArcCatalog, or ArcGIS Server Manager), search ArcGIS Desktop help for “Publishing map
services” and follow the appropriate search result.
15.3. Create a Web Mapping Application
Consult ArcGIS server help to web application using the map service you have created in step 2.
 Start ArcGIS Server Manager through web browser
 Login by user name (arcserver\DELETE ME) and password (123456)
 Click the Service tab
 Click Publish a GIS Resource
 Navigate the yourname.mxd map document
 In the name field, name a new service name
 Choose the option to publish it to existing folder
 Click Next and keep default all options
 Click Next and then Finish
OBS
1. Now the service is in the Service tab, click Start to start or Stop to stop the service.
2. With ESRI ArcGIS solution, you can connect to ArcGIS server and publish a map service with
ArcCatalog, but NOT to create a web mapping application with ArcCatalog
