Scene Service

URL:

Methods:
GET
Version Introduced:
10.3.1

Description

A scene service is an ArcGIS Server web service that originates from a 3D scene in ArcGIS Pro. Scene services (also known as web scene layers) allow you to share 3D content via web scenes to your ArcGIS Enterprise organization. Web scenes are similar in concept to web maps. However, instead of displaying a 2D map or feature services, they use 3D scene services and give you access to 3D content originally created in ArcGIS Pro.

To share a scene service, you need to install and configure ArcGIS Pro and an base ArcGIS Enterprise deployment.

When configuring your ArcGIS Enterprise environment, you must determine how you want to store vector data.

  • If you want to store your scene vector data (points, lines, and polygons) in ArcGIS Data Store, register it with ArcGIS Server as the managed database.
  • If you want to use an enterprise geodatabase to store the vector data, register the enterprise geodatabase as the managed database and run the configuredatastore command line utility in ArcGIS Data Store with the --nosql-only option set to true. For instructions, open the command utility reference in the ArcGIS Data Store help.

In both scenarios, ArcGIS Data Store is required, as it stores cached elevation surface data used in the scene service. See Configure a hosting server to learn how to register a managed database.

See Publish hosted scene layers for more information.
