Managing data stores

What is a data store?

Data stores provide GeoEvent with a list of locations where source data for inputs, outputs, and GeoEvent Services originates. Folders and ArcGIS Server connections are examples of data stores that can be registered with GeoEvent. Register and validate data stores by browsing to the Site > GeoEvent Processor > Data Stores page in GeoEvent Processor Manager.

Use GeoEvent Processor Manager to view and manage data stores.

Registered folders

GeoEvent requires system folders containing GeoEvent Service input or output files to be registered, for example:

When a system folder is successfully registered, a green check mark will appear next to the folder in the Registered Folders window. This indicates that GeoEvent has access to the folder. To validate registered folders, click Validate All on the Data Store page in GeoEvent Processor Manager.

Registered ArcGIS servers

GeoEvent requires connections to ArcGIS Server to be registered. This provides administrators with an opportunity to provide connection credentials (if credentials are required to access secured service folders or services). A local ArcGIS Server site is one example of an ArcGIS Server connection that can be registered with GeoEvent. An ArcGIS Online account is another example of an ArcGIS Server connection that can be registered with GeoEvent.

When an ArcGIS Server connection is successfully registered, a green check mark will appear next to the folder in the Registered ArcGIS Server window. This indicates that GeoEvent has access to ArcGIS Server using the provided credentials. To validate registered folders, click Validate All on the Data Store page in GeoEvent Processor Manager.
