Configure the VertiGIS Studio Printing Engine

There are two ways you can configure the VertiGIS Studio Printing Engine:

Configure the Printing Engine in ArcGIS

The engine installation process automatically sets default values for the published engine tools. Depending on your hardware resources, you can update these values if required.

For more information, see the Esri Web Tool Settings.

The figure below shows the default values for the Parameter settings.

Select the Synchronous setting when using the engine tools as a replacement for the Esri Printing Tools (for example, in Map Viewer). Esri clients only support synchronous print tools task executions.
Select the Asynchronous setting when using the engine tools with VertiGIS products.

The figure below shows the default settings for the Pooling settings.

Configure the Printing Engine in Printing Designer

You can configure the Printing Engine in Designer only if you have an on-premises installation of the Studio Printing Designer. The Saas Printing Designer does not support creating or editing Gen 2 (.pagx file-based) layouts.

This functionality is available in both scenarios: when the on-premises Printing Designer instance is connected to either an on-premises ArcGIS Portal or to ArcGIS Online.

To configure the Printing Engine in Printing Designer: 

  1. Go to File > Settings.

  2. Configure a VertiGIS Studio Printing Tools endpoint in one of the following ways: 

    1. Enter the service URL of the Printing Engine. An example of the format is:

      https://{host}/{server-webadaptor-name}/rest/services/{service-folder-name}/{service-name}/GPServer

      The Printing Engine must be publicly accessible for this method to work.

      Access to a secured service is not supported. The user credentials cannot be used to access the printing service referenced in the portal item.

    2. Enter the Portal Item URL and the App ID. An example of the format is:

      https://{host}/{portal-webadaptor-name}/home/item.html?id={portal-item-id}

      This method supports secure services. User credentials are used to access the printing service referenced by the portal item.

  3. Enable ArcGIS Pro Layout Mode to convert existing print layouts to ArcGIS Pro layouts.

  4. Click Save.

    The configuration is saved to the primary Portal as a web mapping application portal item and is applied on the next startup.
