Portal configuration file updates

Starting at ArcGIS Enterprise 11.0, the update operation can be used to customize advanced portal options, such as configuring a disconnected deployment, using the portalConfigProperties parameter. Previously, administrators who needed to customize their portal's behavior would make updates to the editable version of the portal's configuration file (config.js). Though administrators no longer need to update the configuration file, it is recommended that they make a backup of it prior to upgrading to an 11.0 deployment to preserve the portal's previous customization and settings as a reference. After the upgrade, the properties defined in the configuration file will need to be manually applied to the portalConfigProperties parameter, as the Sharing API will not automatically harvest and apply the information in the file.

ArcGIS Online—April 2021

Table of contents

The sharing API table of contents has been reorganized to make it easier to find information. Topics are now organized by the structure of the URL of the resource or operation.

For example, the previous section, Content - Group Content, has been updated to reflect the URL structure of that resource and its child endpoints as /content/groups/[groupID]. The topics have been sorted by their URL structure to better demonstrate the relationship between endpoints. For example, under the .../[username]/items/[itemID]/proxies section, the topics Delete and Update have been renamed to /[proxyID]/delete and /[proxyID]/update so that the relationship between the topics and its related endpoints can be easily determined.

In addition, endpoints that share the same name (for example, endpoint /register) have been given additional contextual phrases to differentiate among them. For example, the topic for registering a server is called /register (server) with the (server) context appended to differentiate it from other register endpoints, such as registering IDP /register (idp) and registering federation /register (federation).

Also, a new conceptual hierarchy page has been added to group endpoints together based on the conceptual relationship between endpoints.

Topics

Topic information has also been improved. Each topic has had its title updated to reflect both the true endpoint name and its user-friendly alias. For example, the topic name for "Check Service Name" has been updated to "/isServiceNameAvailable: Check Service Name". Also, the URL section, located at the top of each endpoint topic, has been updated to show the full path. Additionally, the example usage sections have been moved to the top of each topic next to the URL section.
