Configuring ArcGIS 10.1 for Server to use the cache directory on the data appliance

ArcGIS 10.1 for Server maintains a list of folders in which it can find map and globe cache tiles. You need to explicitly add the Data Appliance cache folder 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 Site tab.
4. From the View menu on the left, click Directories.
5. Click Add Directory on the right below the Directories description.
6. Enter a Name, for example, Cache. From the Type list, choose Cache.
7. For Location, enter the path to the cache folder on the ArcGIS Data Appliance data collection you made when you created shares, for example, \\ARCGISDATAAPP\cache.
8. You do not need to specify a Description, Cleaning Mode, or Maximum File Age.
9. Click Add to add the directory.
