EAEP2201 Exam Questions & Answers

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.

ArcGIS Enterprise -- Choosing the Right Data Store Type for Large Datasets

In ArcGIS Enterprise, the Creator user type includes full privileges for content creation, sharing, and administration. When paired with the Publisher role, it grants the user the ability to publish hosted feature layers, map image layers, and other services, as well as perform editing tasks on existing data. This combination is specifically designed for users who require both publishing and editing capabilities.

The Editor user type is limited to editing and cannot publish content. The GIS Professional user type provides access to ArcGIS Pro but, when assigned the Data Editor role, restricts the user from publishing content. Therefore, only the Creator user type with Publisher role supports both publishing and editing workflows.

The correct solution is to place ArcGIS Enterprise in read-only mode. This is an administrative function designed specifically to prevent changes to content or configuration while still allowing users to view and access existing items.

From the official ArcGIS Enterprise documentation:

''Read-only mode allows an administrator to restrict changes to the portal. When enabled, no users (including administrators) can create, update, or delete items, groups, or users. However, users can still search for and view items, access content, and use apps and services.''

This feature is typically used during maintenance windows or before performing disaster recovery tasks to preserve system state.

Option B is incorrect because changing user roles to Viewer would not prevent content changes by administrators or other roles with publishing privileges.

Option C refers to cloning, which is not a preventive or temporary access control measure, but rather a method for standby deployments or replication.

Option D (disabling the Web Adaptor) would disrupt access entirely, which does not match the requirement to allow viewing.
