Change Provider

Description

The changeProvider operation updates an individual service to use either a dedicated or a shared instance type. When a qualified service is published, the service is automatically set to use shared instances.

When using this operation, services may populate other provider types as values for the provider parameter, such as ArcObjects and SDS. While these are valid provider types, this operation does not support changing the provider of such services to either ArcObjects11 or DMaps. Services with ArcObjects or SDS as their provider cannot change their instance type.
