About sharing your address locator as a geocode service

  • Publishing your address locators
  • Accessing the geocode services

The geocode service is the way that you make geocoding available to the web using ArcGIS. Once an address locator is created, the locator can be shared or published as a geocode service on ArcGIS for Server. Internet or intranet users can then use the geocode service in web applications, ArcGIS for Desktop, ArcGIS Online, and other client applications.

Publishing your address locators

Address locators and composite locators can be published using ArcGIS for Server. An address locator is a GIS resource. You can publish it as a service and use the service through a client application. See Publishing a geocode service to learn how to publish a geocode service in ArcCatalog.

Learn more about working with ArcGIS for Server

Prior to publishing your locators, there are a few options on managing the locator data in the server. Click the following topics to learn more about managing the service data.

About registering your data with ArcGIS Server

Note:

Publishing a locator that contains a place-name alias table is not supported. Remove the place-name alias table in the Address Locator Properties dialog box prior to publishing the locator.

License:

Publishing an address locator as a geocode service requires an ArcGIS for Server license.

Accessing the geocode services

Once an address locator is published as a geocode service, it can be accessed by connecting to ArcGIS for Server. The geocode services available in the connected GIS Server can then be used for geocoding in ArcMap or ArcCatalog.

A geocode service can also be consumed in a web application. See Using the geocode services to learn more about which web applications you can use to consume the geocode services.
