-
Create a new virtual directory for your application. For example:
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\<Widget Virtual Directory>
- Copy the widget files from your source installation files and paste them your new directory. By default, the files are located in the ..\GIS\WebClients\Widget directory of your source files.
-
Open the config.json file using a text editor such as Notepad.
CAUTION: Be very careful when updating the JSON configuration files. If a copy exists with a similar naming scheme (for example, appsettings.backup.json), and that copy is not deleted, the incorrect JSON configuration file may be used. Configuration files are read in lexicographic order, or the order in which they are loaded. This means that the last file saved is the first file loaded. The order of precedence for the loading of the configuration sources is: 1) appsettings.json file, 2) appsettings.{AltName}.json file, 3) Key-per-file directories, 4) Environment variables, and 5) Command Line arguments. As a result, if a JSON configuration file is configured with an alternate name, and is the most recently saved version of the JSON configuration file, the file with the alternate name will take precedence, which causes major errors during login.
- Set the obServiceUrl setting to the URL of your GIS Service.
- Set the portalWidgetUrl setting to the URL of your Portal for ArcGIS widget. For example: http://[MachineName/[WidgetDirectoryName]
- Edit the other settings in the config.json file as needed. See Modifying the Web AppBuilder Widget config.json File for more information on the available settings.
- Save and close the config.json file.
- In IIS, convert the widget directory into an application. Refer to your IIS documentation for information on converting directories into applications.
