A client requires an ArcGIS Server site that provides the following capabilities
* Serve several cached image services Each service is published from a single raster and updated once a year with new imagery from which a new cache is generated offline before publishing
* Serve a dynamic feature class of 1.000 points coming from a PostgreSQL enterprise geodatabase
Which licensing role does the client need for this ArcGIS Server site?
Answer : B
Users are reporting service timeouts and performance issues. The administrator notices that only the minimum number of instances are running during performance spikes. They want to monitor usage trends before adjusting instance settings.
Which action should the administrator perform?
Answer : C
To monitor usage patterns, including the number of requests and instances in use, ArcGIS Server provides statistics reports in Server Manager. These reports show peak and average service usage, helping administrators decide how to scale service instance counts.
From ArcGIS Server documentation:
''Use the ArcGIS Server Manager statistics reporting tool to monitor service usage trends over time. This data helps inform adjustments to instance counts.''
Option A gives only raw system metrics, not service-specific insights.
Option B (Debug logs) causes overhead and isn't appropriate for monitoring trends.

An ArcGIS Enterprise deployment is expanding one of its ArcGIS Server sites from one to three machines because some services now require additional resources. Half the services use a shared instance, and the other half includes dedicated instances.
What will happen to the minimum number of ArcSOCs running on the site?
Answer : A
When expanding an ArcGIS Server site from one to three machines, the number of ArcSOC processes (service instances) will increase proportionally. For dedicated instances, each service's minimum and maximum instances are configured per machine, so tripling the number of machines will triple the number of dedicated ArcSOCs. For shared instances, the shared instance pool runs on each machine, and the number of shared instances is configured per machine. Therefore, the total number of ArcSOCs (both dedicated and shared) will be approximately three times greater after the expansion
A single Linux machine deployment of ArcGIS Enterprise has a home partition of 20 GB, a /data partition of 150 GB, and an /opt partition of 75 GB.
Where should the configuration store and directories be located?
Answer : B
The configuration store and server directories for ArcGIS Enterprise should be placed in a partition with ample disk space and stable read/write performance, as these directories store logs, cache, uploads, and critical site configuration information.
In this scenario:
The /home partition (20 GB) is insufficient for growth and operational overhead.
The /opt partition (75 GB) is moderately sized but still smaller than the /data partition.
The /data partition (150 GB) provides the most space, making it the best choice to ensure scalability and system reliability.
Best practice from ArcGIS Enterprise documentation recommends placing server directories and configuration stores on high-capacity partitions like /data when available.

An organization is configuring ArcGIS Enterprise. They want to enable a single sign-on experience for users using their existing SAML identity provider.
What action should the organization perform?
Answer : B
To enable SAML-based SSO, the ArcGIS Enterprise portal acts as the Service Provider (SP). To link it to an Identity Provider (IdP), you must register the portal's SP metadata with the IdP and configure the portal to trust it.
From Esri's documentation:
''To complete SAML configuration, register the portal's SAML service provider metadata with your organization's identity provider, then configure the portal with the IdP metadata.''
Option A is for IWA (Kerberos), not SAML.
Option C refers to LDAP but doesn't configure SAML or SSO.
Option D is not a valid standalone action for SAML integration.

A GIS administrator receives reports of slow-performing services and notices that disk space is filling up after recent troubleshooting sessions.
In those sessions, the following tasks were performed:
Services added to the shared instance pool
Log retention settings reduced
Log level set to Debug
ArcGIS Server machine restarted
An additional ArcGIS Server site federated
What is causing this slow performance?
Answer : A
An organization is implementing a disaster recovery strategy for an ArcGIS Enterprise deployment for custom cached basemaps.
Which action should the organization perform?
Answer : B
Custom cached basemaps are stored as tile cache files on disk and are not included in backups created by the webgisdr tool or the ArcGIS Data Store backup utility. Therefore, to ensure these basemaps can be restored in the event of a disaster, it's essential to manually back up the cache directories where these tiles are stored. This involves copying the cache folders to a secure backup location and ensuring they are kept in sync with any updates made to the basemaps.
The webgisdr tool (Option A) is used for backing up and restoring the ArcGIS Enterprise configuration and content but does not include custom tile caches. The ArcGIS Data Store backup utility (Option C) is used for backing up hosted feature layers and other data managed by the ArcGIS Data Store, not custom cached basemaps.
