Support for Kubernetes
Custom data feeds is now supported on ArcGIS Enterprise for Kubernetes with the release of ArcGIS Enterprise 11.5. The steps for registering custom data providers and creating services are the same as in Windows and Linux but with the added option to manage custom data providers in ArcGIS Enterprise Manager. See the ArcGIS Enterprise Manager documentation for details on managing custom data providers.
Improved access to custom data feeds logs
Custom data feeds logs are now combined with ArcGIS Server logs. Access to the ArcGIS Server directories on the host machine is no longer needed. Custom data feeds logs are viewable in ArcGIS Server Manager and ArcGIS Server Administrator. Refer to the Troubleshooting topic for more information on how to work with custom data feeds logs.
Customizable service parameters
The host and id parameters are deprecated in ArcGIS Enterprise 11.5. Users now have the option to create their own service parameters that can increase the reusability of their custom data provider. See Create a Custom Data Provider for more details on how to use service parameters. Publishing a custom data feature service that makes use of service parameters must be done in Portal for ArcGIS or through the ArcGIS Server Administrator Directory.
Authorization
A new method - authorize() - is available for use in the custom data provider's model.js file allowing for finer-grained access control. A custom data feature service can be optionally configured to forward select user identity attributes along with the service request. See Create a Custom Data Provider for more details on how to use the authorize() method.
Support for oriented imagery layers
By providing the appropriate oriented metatdata in your custom data provider, the oriented imagery layer type will be recognized. See the oriented imagery provider sample for information on how to create oriented imagery layers.
