Request parameters

Parameter	Details
properties	A JSON object that describes each property to be set. The only available property is: preferSharedInstances: Controls whether new compatible services published from ArcGIS Pro to the server site will use shared or dedicated instances. If set to true, compatible services will use shared instances when first published; if set to false, they will use dedicated instances. Starting at 10.8, this property is true by default for sites that are newly installed. Sites that are upgraded from 10.7 or 10.7.1 will keep their existing setting. Updating this value completely replaces all previous values. It's important that any changes begin with the current object value and modify any properties to their desired state.
