- URL:https://<admin-root>/createNewSite
- Required Capability:Administrator
- Version Introduced:10.8
Description
The createNewSite operation is the first operation that you must invoke when you install ArcGIS Mission Server for the first time. Creating a new site involves the following:
- Allocating a store to save the site configuration
- Configuring the server machine and registering it with the site
- Configuring server directories
- Deploying the services that are marked to automatically deploy
Because of the number of tasks, it usually takes awhile for this operation to complete. Once a site has been created, you can federate your ArcGIS Mission Server or join other ArcGIS Mission Server server machines to this site.
Note:
This operation is available only when a server machine is not participating in a site.
