Enterprise geodatabase management on AWS
The enterprise geodatabase included when you create a stand-alone ArcGIS Server site using one of the ArcGIS Enterprise tools for Amazon Web Services (AWS) does not require configuration before you can access it.
You can perform some administration tasks—such as creating logins or groups or creating additional geodatabases—if your workflow requires it. However, these must be performed outside the ArcGIS Enterprise tools for AWS and are described below.
Additionally, the ArcGIS Enterprise tools for AWS do not upgrade the enterprise geodatabases in your deployment. You must use tools in ArcGIS Pro or run the UpgradeGeodatabase ArcPy function from an ArcGIS Server instance to upgrade. Always run these tools or function from an EC2 instance in the same region as your database service. See Upgrade a geodatabase in PostgreSQL or Upgrade an enterprise geodatabase in SQL Server in ArcGIS Pro help for upgrade instructions.
Manage logins
The ArcGIS Server sites created using ArcGIS Enterprise Cloud Builder for Amazon Web Services and sample Amazon Web Services CloudFormation templates from Esri come with default roles to administer geodatabases in Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) instances and load spatial data to them. You may require additional login roles to manage spatial data. For example, you may want to add a login that has read-only privileges in the database, require a login with a name other than the default name provided when you created the geodatabase using ArcGIS Enterprise tools for AWS, or want additional data owner logins in the database.
If you require additional logins, use SQL or your database management system tools to create them and assign privileges. If the new users will create data in the geodatabase, you must create schemas for the users. The schema must have the same name as the user name. See Amazon RDS documentation for instructions to create users and schemas.
Create additional geodatabases
If you include an enterprise geodatabase with the ArcGIS Server site you create with ArcGIS Enterprise Cloud Builder for AWS, you have an option to include a geodatabase (named egdb) with the site. To create additional geodatabases—for example, if you need a geodatabase with a different name or you require additional geodatabases for different services or applications to access—or if you want a geodatabase in another supported AWS cloud database offering, you must create the database service and geodatabase yourself, and register it with the ArcGIS Server site. See one of the following in the ArcGIS Pro help for instructions:
