Publishing raster data with WCS
The WCS option is always present in the panel to configure services. As we already noted, WCS is used to publish raster data, so this may sound odd to you. Indeed, ArcGIS for Server lets you enable the WCS option, only if the map project for the service contains one of the following:
- A map containing raster or mosaic layers
- A raster or mosaic dataset
- A layer file referencing a raster or mosaic dataset
- A geodatabase that contains raster data
If you try to enable the WCS option on SampleWorldCities, you won't get an error. Then, try to ask for the capabilities:
$ curl -XGET "http://localhost/arcgis/services/SampleWorldCities/MapServer/WCSServer?SERVICE=WCS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetCapabilities" -o capabilitiesArcGISWCS.xml ...Get GeoServer Cookbook now with the O’Reilly learning platform.
