Re-create the geometry service

If you want to move the geometry service from the Utilities folder of your ArcGIS Server site to another folder, you'll need to delete the service and re-create it in the desired folder using the ArcGIS Server Administrator Directory.

To re-create the geometry service, follow these steps:

1. In a web browser, open the Administrator Directory and log in. The URL is formatted https://gisserver.example.com:6443/arcgis/admin.

2. In the Administrator Directory, click services.

3. Click Utilities > Geometry and under Supported Operations, click stop.

4. Under Supported Operations, click edit.

5. On the Edit GeometryServer page, in the Service (in JSON format):* text box, change the isDefault parameter value to false.

6. Click Save Edits.

7. On the Service - Geometry (GeometryServer) page, click delete to delete the service.

8. Return back to the services page. In the folders list, select the folder that will contain the new geometry service. If you don't see an appropriate folder, you can create one by choosing createFolder.

9. Click createService.

10. On the Operation - createService page, paste the following JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) into the Service Properties text box:

    {
      "serviceName": "Geometry",
      "type": "GeometryServer",
      "description": "The Geometry service is used by application developers to assist with geometric operations such as projecting, generalizing, and intersecting geometry.",
      "capabilities": "null",
      "minInstancesPerNode": 1,
      "maxInstancesPerNode": 2,
      "instancesPerContainer": 1,
      "maxWaitTime": 60,
      "maxStartupTime": 300,
      "maxIdleTime": 1800,
      "maxUsageTime": 600,
      "loadBalancing": "ROUND_ROBIN",
      "isolationLevel": "HIGH",
      "configuredState": "STOPPED",
      "recycleInterval": 24,
      "recycleStartTime": "00:00",
      "keepAliveInterval": -1,
      "private": false,
      "isDefault": true,
      "maxUploadFileSize": -1,
      "allowedUploadFileTypes": "",
      "properties": {},
      "extensions": [],
      "datasets": []
    }
    

Caution:

Do not change the value for serviceName. Clients will be unable to consume your geometry service if it is named something other than Geometry.

1. Click Create.

   Your geometry service is created and appears in the Services list.

2. Start the geometry service by clicking Geometry and clicking start on the Service - Geometry (GeometryServer) page.
