Description
When ArcGIS Server is installed on a server machine, you must create a new site. A site is a collection of server resources, such as server machines that have ArcGIS Server installed with GIS services, data, and so on.
Subsequently, newer server machines can join a site and increase its computing power. Once a site is no longer required, it can be deleted, which releases its resources.
Note:
The configuration and meta information for the site is maintained on disk in a set of files that comprise the configuration store.
Once a site has been created, the result is a root resource for administering an ArcGIS Server deployment. The root resource returns a collection of hierarchically organized, top-level resources that provide access to additional resources and operations: machines, services, security, system, data, uploads, logs, kml, info, mode, and usage reports.
Alternative views of the root resource page, such as the json and pjson response formats, return the site's current licensing and language information.
