Create Site

URL:: https://<admin-root>/createNewSite
Methods:: GET
Required Capability:: Administrator
Version Introduced:: 10.8

Description

The createNewSite operation is the first operation that you must invoke when you install ArcGIS Mission Server for the first time. Creating a new site involves the following:

Allocating a store to save the site configuration
Configuring the server machine and registering it with the site
Configuring server directories
Deploying the services that are marked to automatically deploy

Because of the number of tasks, it usually takes awhile for this operation to complete. Once a site has been created, you can federate your ArcGIS Mission Server or join other ArcGIS Mission Server server machines to this site.
