Pass the Esri Technical EAEP2201 Questions and answers with ValidTests

The contractor should publish a hosted feature service. Hosted feature services are managed entirely by the ArcGIS Data Store, not by the ArcGIS Server site directly. This means they consume fewer server resources since they are not managed by a dedicated ArcGIS Server site’s memory or CPU at runtime the way traditional services are.

From ArcGIS documentation:

“Hosted feature layers (services) are stored in and powered by the ArcGIS Data Store, relieving ArcGIS Server from managing service processes. This is ideal for testing, lightweight apps, or non-production workflows when minimizing load on the GIS Server is desired.”

Option B (Non-hosted map service) would require server-side management and is more resource-intensive.

Option C (Scene service) is used for 3D visualization and is not appropriate for 2D hydrant location data.

Option D (Non-hosted feature service) would also consume more ArcGIS Server resources.

When replacing SSL certificates in ArcGIS Enterprise components, ArcGIS Server and Portal for ArcGIS require the root and intermediate (issuing) certificates to be explicitly imported into their trust stores. Unlike the ArcGIS Data Store, which can often rely on the system-level trust store, ArcGIS Server and Portal maintain their own certificate trust management.

From the official ArcGIS Enterprise documentation:

“When using certificates issued by an internal or external CA, it is essential to also import the corresponding root and intermediate certificates into the Portal for ArcGIS and ArcGIS Server trust stores to ensure the certificate chain is validated properly.”

Option B is incorrect. Domain CA certificates are supported and recommended over self-signed certificates for internal deployments.

Option C refers to an acceptable format but does not address the issue, which is about importing the chain of trust.

Option D is incorrect; PKCS#12 (.pfx) certificates are supported but must be paired with the correct chain files.

The Spatiotemporal big data store is designed for massive datasets and optimized for high-speed visualization, time-enabled querying, and big data analytics. It is ideal for storing millions of point features such as sensors or oil rig locations, especially when performance and scalability are critical.

From ArcGIS documentation:

“The spatiotemporal big data store is designed for writing and querying large volumes of spatial and temporal data. It’s optimized for visualizing high-density datasets in web maps.”

Option B (Relational) works for moderate data volumes but may not scale well.

Option C supports cached tiles, not dynamic feature access.

To license the ArcGIS Data Interoperability extension on a federated ArcGIS Server site, the administrator must use the Software Authorization Wizard. This is the officially supported and recommended method provided by Esri for authorizing additional extensions to ArcGIS Server.

According to the ArcGIS Enterprise Installation Guide and Esri’s administration best practices:

The Software Authorization Wizard is the tool used to input license information and authorize software features such as the Data Interoperability extension.

This wizard can be launched after installation or from the ArcGIS Server program group at any time.

Once the license is applied using the wizard, it is necessary to restart the ArcGIS Server service so that the newly authorized extension is loaded properly.

Option A is incorrect because Esri does not support manually modifying license JSON files. Doing so can corrupt the licensing configuration and is not documented or recommended.

Option C is incorrect because the ArcGIS Server installation program does not apply or manage licenses—it is used solely for installing the core server software.

Therefore, the correct method is to use the Software Authorization Wizard, apply the license file, and restart the ArcGIS Server service to activate the extension.

In ArcGIS Enterprise, data store items added via the Portal (such as those using .sde files for SQL Server) are represented as portal items. To allow other users to publish using that data store, the administrator must share the item with them, typically via a group.

From the official documentation:

“To allow other users to publish with a user-maintained data store, share the item with a group to which they belong. Users must have access to the data store item in the portal to publish services using it.”

Option A is not required—users don’t need admin rights to publish.

Option C refers to registering data in Server Manager, not managing access.

Option D is not a valid setting for data store items.

For environments without internet access, the organization can use the patchnotification.bat utility to check for available patches and updates. This utility can be run from the command line and provides information about the current patch status of the ArcGIS Enterprise components. Administrators can then manually download the necessary patches from another machine with internet access and transfer them to the internal environment for installation.​

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.
