Configure Hybrid Connection Manager

Your Schneider Electric implementation team handles this preparation step.

In most cases, Microsoft’s Hybrid Connection Manager (HCM) is required for an open channel of communication between the Session Manager service, the Editor service, the Proxy service, and any Workflow services (all of which reside in Schneider Electric’s Azure portal) and your client-hosted services like Portal for ArcGIS. To enable this open channel, the HCM service must be installed on the same server as ArcGIS Server. Most likely, this is the same server where the Editor XI network feature services are running. Depending upon your environment and organization, it might make sense to install HCM on a different server, but that server must have access to the server on which the ArcGIS Server instance is running.

Good to Know

The following information is good to know during this process:

• HCM is configured in Solution Center. See the help topic Hybrid Connections for more information.

• As stated above, the HCM service must be installed on the same server as ArcGIS Server. If the implementation team is granted the appropriate permissions, they can perform this step. If permissions cannot be granted to the implementation team, somebody at your company with the appropriate permissions needs to perform this installation. Further, the same people responsible for installing HCM need to configure it with the appropriate connection strings once those strings are made available.
