Data Storage Requirements

The data needs to be stored in a way that the Server Object Container (SOC) machine for ArcGIS Server can access it. What this means is that the when a map document is published as a service, both the map document and all its layers in the map document needs to be accessible by the SOC machine.

Use Universal System Convention (UNC) paths instead of mapped paths for network data. If the data is stored in a local hard drive, then use a mapped path. If your shape files are stored in a shared directory, then use UNC paths so that the SOC machine can access it.

Permission Requirements

In order for the SOC machine to access the data, grant SOC account (ArcGISSOC) permissions to use the data. This is the SOC user account you specified during ArcGIS Server Post Install. Grant the account read access to your data.
