Validate Datastore

• URL:https://<datastores-url>/validate
  
• Version Introduced:10.7.1

Description

The validate operation ensures that your ArcGIS Server can connect and use the datasets stored within a given data store. While this operation can be called before or after the data store has been registered with your server, it is recommended that the validate operation is performed beforehand. A data store can be validated by using either its datastoreId or the JSON for an unregistered data store. The serverId can be found on the Servers resource page.

JSON Request example

The following example uses the datastoreId and serverId parameters:

<self-url>/datastores/validate?datastoreId=55d87f404a7e420bb969ccb70254bfec&serverId=9sQswqEpB31ymiCD

Alternatively, you can call the operation using the datastore and serverId parameters:

<self-url>/datastores/validate?datastore={"path":"/enterpriseDatabases/explorationDB","type":"egdb","info":{"dataStoreConnectionType":"shared","isManaged":false,"connectionString":"SERVER=expDB.acme.com;INSTANCE=sde:postgresql:expDB.acme.com,9876;DBCLIENT=postgresql;DB_CONNECTION_PROPERTIES=dev003201.esri.com,9876;DATABASE=db2;USER=thatUser;VERSION=sde.DEFAULT;AUTHENTICATION_MODE=DBMS;ENCRYPTED_PASSWORD=00022e686e3264"}}&serverId=9sQswqEpB31ymiCD

JSON Response example

If either of the requests above is successful, validate will return the following success message:

{"status": "success"}

If the operation fails, validate will return an error similar to the message below:

{"machines" : [
    {
      "machine" : <machine name>,
      "status" : "error",
      "dataItems" : [
