This downloaded application can be configured to use your own utility services. Additionally, any other externally facing URLs can be customized to point to URLs within your network, except where otherwise noted. The instructions below detail the steps necessary to configure your application in a disconnected environment.

  • Specify a custom print service. In commonConfig.js, replace the URL value in quotes for the printTask property with your custom print service. For example: printTask:{ url: location + protocol + "//MyServer/../rest/services/Utilities/PrintingTools/GPServer/Export%20Web%20Map%20Task" } Note: If a custom print service is not configured, the application uses the ArcGIS.com default print service.

  • Specify a custom geometry service. In commonConfig.js, replace the URL value in quotes for the geometry property with your custom print service. For example: geometry:{ url: location + protocol + "//MyServer/../rest/services/Geometry/GeometryServer" } Note: If a custom geometry service is not configured, the application uses the ArcGIS.com default geometry service.

  • Specify a custom geocode service. In commonConfig.js, replace the URL value in quotes for the geocode property with your custom print service. For example: geocode:{ url: location + protocol + "//MyServer/../rest/services/World/GeocodeServer" } Note: If a custom geocode service is not configured, the application uses the ArcGIS.com World geocode service by default.

  • Search and replace Javascript API (JSAPI) references. In index.html, use a text search to find all instances of "//js.arcgis.com/. Replace these references with your internally hosted JSAPI. Be aware you may need to modify the search and replace text strings to correctly update the references to point to your hosted JSAPI. If you are using Portal for ArcGIS, you can update the references to use the portal's internally hosted JSAPI, for example:

Search for: //js.arcgis.com/ Replace with: //MyPortalServer.domain.com/arcgis/jsapi/jsapi

Confirm the update was successful by opening one of the updated references in a web browser. If the file contents are displayed properly in the web browser, the update was succesful. For example:

Open in web browser: "http://MyPortalServer.domain.com/arcgis/jsapi/jsapi/js/dojo/dojox/layout/resources/FloatingPane.css"

Note: If JSAPI references are not updated, the application uses the JSAPI hosted by ArcGIS.com.

External URLs that cannot be modified

The application may not function correctly if the references below are modified. However, the application can be configured to disable functionality that uses these external references, detailed as necessary below.
