Description
The edit operation allows you to change the path and clean up properties of the directory. This operation updates the GIS service configurations (and points them to the new path) that are using this directory, causing them to restart. It is therefore recommended that any edit to the server directories be performed when the server is not under load. This operation is mostly used when growing a single-machine-site to a multiple-machine-site configuration, which requires that the server directories and configuration store be put on a network-accessible file share.
