Connect to OpenSearch from ArcGIS

You can connect from ArcGIS Pro to an OpenSearch cluster to add spatial data to a map. To publish a map image layer or web feature layer that references the data, register the connection file with one of your ArcGIS Enterprise organization's federated servers.

Create a connection file

To create a connection file (.dbconn) that accesses an OpenSearch cluster, you must use the Database Connection dialog box in ArcGIS Pro. See Connect to OpenSearch from ArcGIS in the ArcGIS Pro help for instructions.

Ensure that the account you use for the connection has the required privileges to access content in the OpenSearch cluster.

Register the connection file

To publish a map image layer or web feature layer that references data in OpenSearch, use ArcGIS Pro to register the OpenSearch cluster with an ArcGIS Server site that is federated with the active portal. This creates a database data store item in that ArcGIS Enterprise organization.
