Publish services

A list of property owners or occupants can be generated on desktop computers with the Public Notification application. Select a deployment method using ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS for Server or ArcGIS Enterprise and follow the steps below to publish the services required for the Public Notification application.

To publish Public Notification services, complete the following steps:

Publish GeneralPurpose.mxd and ImageryReferenceOverlay.mxd as cached map services using ArcGIS for Server or ArcGIS Enterprise or as tiled services using ArcGIS Online. When publishing, make the following changes in the Service Editor:
- Choose the Best for the Anti-Aliasing parameter in the Parameters tab.
- Choose Force for the Text Anti-Aliasing parameter in the Parameters tab.
- Disable KML in the Capabilities tab if publishing the service using ArcGIS for Server or ArcGIS Enterprise.
- Import the MIXED90CacheSettings.xml cache tiling scheme from your zip file Application folder and extend the Levels of Detail slider across all levels of detail in the Caching tab.
Note:

Add a high-resolution imagery layer to ImageryReferenceOverlay.mxd and save the map document as ImageryHybrid.mxd before publishing the cached map service. Place this imagery below the 144K group layer in the Table of Contents window. Use imagery from ArcGIS Online (imagery is not provided for the City of Naperville in the download) to publish and serve an Imagery Hybrid basemap with the sample data from the City of Naperville.

Note:

If you choose to create tiles on demand, some tiles must be generated before accessing the service in the application.
Publish the TaxParcelQuery.mxd, RoadCenterlineQuery.mxd and AdministrativeAreas.mxd as a hosted feature layer using ArcGIS Online or as a map service using ArcGIS for Server or ArcGIS Enterprise.

Note:

If you're notifying more than 1000 owners\occupants at one time then you'll need to increase the number of records returned by the TaxParcelQuery service. To do this select Parameters and define the Maximum Number of records returned by the server to the maximum number you will notify at one time.
Download and install ReportLab 3.0 for Python 2.7 32-bit (reportlab-3.0.win32-py2.7.exe) on your ArcGIS for Desktop machine and ReportLab 3.0 for Python 2.7 64-bit (reportlab-3.0.win-amd64-py2.7.exe) on your ArcGIS for Server or ArcGIS Enterprise machine.
Open ArcMap and in the Catalog window, browse to the Local Government toolbox, then open the GenerateCSVMailingList tool.
Accept all default values and click OK, then verify the tool has completed successfully by opening the Results window from the Geoprocessing menu.
In the Local Government toolbox, open the GenerateAveryLabels tool.
Accept all default values and click OK, then verify the tool has completed successfully by opening the Results window from the Geoprocessing menu.
Right-click the successful result of the GenerateCSVMailingList tool and click Share As > Geoprocessing Service.
Choose Publish a Service and click Next. Name the service PublicNotification and click Next.
In the Service Editor dialog box, choose Add Result.
Select the successful result of the GenerateAveryLabels tool and click OK, then click Publish.

Note:

If you're notifying more than 1000 owners\occupants at one time then you'll need to increase the number of records returned by the service. To do this select Parameters and define the Maximum Number of records returned by the server to the maximum number you will notify at one time.
Share the services with everyone.
Choose a geometry service. If you are using ArcGIS for Server or ArcGIS Enterprise and the geometry service has not been started, start the geometry service. If you are using ArcGIS Online, you can use the geometry service provided by Esri or a geometry service from another ArcGIS for Server machine.

Note:

The URL for the ArcGIS Online geometry service is http://tasks.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Geometry/GeometryServer.
Open the ArcGIS Services Directory and record the REST endpoints (full URL paths) of each service.

Note:

To find the ArcGIS Services Directory for ArcGIS for Server browse to Start > All Programs > ArcGIS > ArcGIS for Server > Service Directory. In ArcGIS Online, it can be found on the item page by clicking on the listed layers in the Layers section.
