Edit (Service)

URL:: https://<root>/services/<serviceName.serviceType>/edit
Methods:: POST
Version Introduced:: 10.9

Description

This operation edits the properties of a service. To edit a service, you need to submit the complete JSON representation of the service, which includes the updates to the service properties. Editing a service can cause the service to be restarted with updated properties.

The JSON representation of a service contains the following four sections:

Service description properties—Common properties that are shared by all services. These properties typically identify a specific service.
Service framework properties—Properties targeted toward the framework that hosts the GIS service. They define the life cycle and load balancing of the service.
Service type properties—Properties targeted toward the core service type as seen by the server administrator. Since these properties are associated with a server object, they vary across the service types.
Extension properties—Represent the extensions that are enabled on the service.
