Server directories are used by GIS services as a location
to output items such as map images, tile caches, and geoprocessing results. In addition, some directories
contain configurations that power the GIS services.
In a Site with more than one server machine
these directories must be available on network shares, accessible to every machine in the site.
The following directory types can be registered with the server:
Server directories that contain output of various GIS services can be periodically cleaned
to remove old unused files. By using the cleanup mode and maximum file age parameters, you control
when when you would like the files in these directories to be cleaned.
All the output server directories are automatically virtualized (they can be accessed over a URL) for you
through the ArcGIS Server REST API.
