Configuring ArcGIS Server 10 to use the cache directory on the data appliance

ArcGIS Server 10 maintains a list of directories in which it can find map and globe cache tiles. You need to explicitly add the Data Appliance cache directories to this list.

Steps:

1. Log in to ArcGIS Server using the Data Appliance for ArcGIS data account with administrator privileges.
2. Start ArcGIS Server Manager and log in using your ArcGIS Server account.
3. Click the GIS Server tab.
4. From the View menu on the left, click Server Directories (or Directories if you are using Java Manager).
5. Click Add Directory.
6. For the path to the directory, enter the path to the cache directory on the ArcGIS Data Appliance data collection you made when you created shares (for example, \\ARCGISDATAAPP\cache).
7. From the Type list, choose Cache.
8. For the Virtual Directory, leave it blank. You do not need to specify a Description, Cleaning Mode, or Maximum File Age.
9. Click OK to add the directory. By default, you'll return to the list of output directories. To verify that the cache directory was created successfully, you can select Cache Directories from the Show menu.
