2. Click services > createService.

   

3. On the Create Service page, copy and paste the following JSON into the Service (in JSON format) text box.

4. Provide values for the dataProviderHost and dataProviderID fields if your custom data provider uses them.

5. Click the Create button.

6. Verify that a feature service was created by navigating to the ArcGIS Server Services Directory, and ensure the service is listed.

You will be able to use the URL ( https://<domain_name_or_machine_name>/<webadaptor_name>/rest/services/<provider_name>/FeatureServer) of this feature service in ArcGIS clients like ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online, and ArcGIS Enterprise.
