ArcGIS Topographic Mapping introduction
License:
Available with an ArcGIS Topographic Mapping license.
Legacy:
Starting with ArcGIS Enterprise 12.0, ArcGIS Defense Mapping and ArcGIS Production Mapping are consolidated into ArcGIS Topographic Mapping. Visit Defense Mapping or Production Mapping if you are using a prior version.
The ArcGIS Topographic Mapping server extension allows you to publish topographic map products using a map service.
As a map service, map products can be shared to an ArcGIS Enterprise deployment and published to your Enterprise organization.
These map products can be used by any client app that uses an ArcGIS Server map service, including existing ArcGIS Desktop web and mobile clients. In addition, web developers can use the ArcGIS Server REST API to develop web maps and apps.
Enable Topographic Mapping
The stand-alone Topographic Mapping server extension installer is no longer necessary in 10.9 or later releases. However, the software must be authorized using a Topographic Mapping server extension license key on each machine on which it is installed.
A full base Enterprise deployment is required.
Authorize the software
Visit My Esri to obtain authorization (by email, fax, phone, or mail), and use your license key to authorize the following:
Topographic Mapping server extension
Map Production System (MPS) web app (enabled with the Topographic Mapping server extension license)
Topographic Production Manager (TPM) web app (enabled with the Topographic Mapping server extension license)
Note:
The MPS and TPM web apps run with Topographic Mapping server extension services published from ArcGIS Pro and must be separately installed and deployed.
Once the Topographic Mapping server extension license is used to authorize each instance of ArcGIS Server, the Topographic Mapping server extension features and services are available to use.
Compatibility with ArcGIS Pro
ArcGIS Pro and Enterprise must be installed to compatible versions as listed below:
