ArcGIS Enterprise - How Services and Items REALLY Work, and administrative GUI Tour

Following up with my Basics Tour, this ArcGIS Enterprise video goes through how items really work, the components that make up the Portal, and shows the connections between the different components that make up the "Base Deployment".

Hi Shawn, Thank you for the videos! I really like them. I only wanted to ask: "How they estimate the necessary number of license cores needed for Enterprise Server?" Thank you for your time

[@shawnsspotlightongis]

There is no easy way to do this. Too many variables for each condition. I can help estimate this as a consultant if you want to reach out as it would involve an assessment of needs/etc.

@@shawnsspotlightongis Thank you for the answer! Unfortunately, I don't have necessity now. Just curious how they do it.

[@rajgihanify]

These videos are very good. I watched the first one for Enterprise as well. Do you have a full course on Enterprise ?

[@shawnsspotlightongis]

Not a formal course, but do provide consulting through simplyhelp.ca on Enterprise.

Hi Shawn, Is there a demo version of ArcGIS Enterprise to try out like a trial version ? Also where did you install the enterprise server in this video? is it on your desktop or some other server?

[@shawnsspotlightongis]

You must be licensed to install it. You can purchase a developers license to get the licenses for what you suggest, or perhaps join a college to learn and gain access to their licensing. My college (Fleming College) does have post-graduate GIS programs you can take from anywhere and would give you access. This is a demo machine for development.

Your courses and videos are so good, however I fail to trutly apply all of this to my job (most likely my fault) I have so many questions, how to create an enterprise geodatabase based on a UML model, how to ensure my firewall connections are properly set up in my company to access them correctly, just about everything else really of the application aspect of all of this. Do you think there's a course of some kind that can help me from the basics to build up from there? I'm really used to just the basic aspect of GIS (digitizing and basic use of tools already created) but I wanna make the next step in trutly becoming a gis analyst. Thank you for your content

Great questions! As a GIS professional we need to know IT, Geography and database industries together. Here are some simple answers: Why are you trying to use UML with an Enterprise Geodatabase, it is its own "Schema" so you can't really do that. But you can design it using tools like UML but likely need to manually create the feature layers. Applications are another area of expertise. What I recommend is either taking a GIS Program (my college has a great one at flemingcollege.ca/programs/geographic-information-systems-for-analytics) or hiring a consultant (reach out to me using the links at simplyhelp.ca/ if that is what you wish).
