Configuring the Batch Validation Manager application

The Batch Validation Manager application allows you to schedule batch jobs to run at regular intervals over the web. You can also view scheduled jobs, and executions of batch jobs that have completed or failed. It relies on your connection to a Reviewer workspace enabled in ArcGIS 10.2 Data Reviewer for Server to store the batch job results.

Once the Batch Validation Manager package downloads, complete a few steps to configure the application for deployment:

• Extract the files to a folder hosted on Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS).
• Optionally, set up the proxy.
• Customize the settings.js file.

Before configuring the application, the following requirements must be met:

• Installation of ArcGIS for Server and ArcGIS 10.2 Data Reviewer for Server.
• Successful completion of the DRS Configuration Utility.
• The ArcGIS account on the web server has read and write access to the Reviewer workspace.

Steps:

1. Using Windows Explorer, navigate to <your directory>\Application.
2. Copy the BatchValidationManager folder to your web server so it can be accessed as a website or virtual directory.
   Note:

   In Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS), the default web server directory is <your directory>\Inetpub\wwwroot\.

3. Navigate to Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
4. Browse to <your server> > Web Sites > Default Web Sites.
5. Right-click the web server directory folder for the application and click Properties.
6. Click the Documents tab and add index.html to the list of default documents, if it is not already defined.
7. Click OK.
8. Update the proxy file based on your server configuration. See Using the proxy for more information.
9. Customize the settings.js file.

   For information on the individual settings, see Batch Validation Manager tag reference.

10. Schedule batch jobs to run immediately to ensure that they run successfully.
11. Modify the scheduling of the batch jobs as needed to accommodate your organization's quality control needs.
12. Share the URL to the web server with the rest of your organization.

    The URL will be http://<servername>/batchvalidationmanager.

13. Open the index.html file and find the text <myserver> and replace it with the hostname of the machine hosting a local version of Data Reviewer API for Javascript.
