Description

The service manifest resource documents the data and other resources that define the service origins and power the service. This resource will tell you underlying databases and their location along with other supplementary files that make up the service.

This resource was added at ArcGIS 10.1 Service Pack 1.

The JSON representation of the manifest has two sections:

1. Databases
• byReference
Indicates whether the service data is referenced from a registered folder or database (true) or if it was copied to the server at the time the service was published (false)


• onPremiseConnectionString
Path to publisher data location


• onServerConnectionString
Path to data location after publishing completes

When both the server machine and the publisher's machine are using the same folder or database, byReference is true and the onPremiseConnectionString and onServerConnectionString properties have the same value.

When the server machine and the publisher machine are using different folders or databases, byReference is true and the onPremiseConnectionString and onServerConnectionString properties have different values.

When the data is copied to the server automatically at publish time, byReference is false.


2. Resources
• clientName
The machine where ArcGIS for Desktop was used to publish the service.


• onPremisePath
The path, relative to the 'clientName' machine where the source resource (.mxd, .3dd, .tbx files, geodatabases, and so on) originated.


• serverPath
The path to the document after publishing completes.

Note:

• OnPremisePath is not valid for geoprocessing services because the geoprocessing publishing framework creates a in-memory toolbox in the user's profile and that path is what is saved. You cannot use this path to return to a meaningful .tbx file. At the same time, you are able to publish geoprocessing services from the aggregation of multiple results, and the multiple sources for the service are not saved.
