Health Check
Administrators can check the health of the missions on their ArcGIS Enterprise by performing a data health check.

If there are upgrades required, the administrator will have the option to Upgrade, where all missions will be batch upgraded to the current version, or Cancel, which will make no changes.

Note:
It is recommended that a Mission Data Health Check and Batch Upgrade be completed immediately after ArcGIS Enterprise and ArcGIS Mission have been upgraded.
ArcGIS Mission Server WebSocket URL
If a mission starts to exhibit issues that may point to a web socket connection, an administrator can test the connection to the mission server. Examples of a WebSocket connection error could be degraded behavior with chat, task, or report functionality. If testing the connection returns a success message there may be other issues to investigate. If however, testing resolves in a connection error, a modal is provided to allow the administrator to adjust the WebSocket Context URL.
To test the Mission Server WebSocket URL, an administrator should complete the following steps:
- Select your user profile.
- Select Admin Settings.
- Click Mission Server WebSocket URL.
- Click Test Connection.
If Connection working as expected appears, the test is complete. If An error occurred appears, an additional modal will display.
- To adjust the WebSocket Context URL, select Edit.
- Enter the proper WebSocket Context URL and click the check to save, or the X to cancel and revert to the original value.
Note:
This value should only be changed under very careful consideration.
Request Timeout
Administrators can adjust the request timeout duration property to address situations where a connection to the server could be lost due to a request taking longer than normal to return a response. This could be for any number of reasons to include networks or robust security configurations. Adjusting this property could result in improved Mission performance.
To adjust the Request Time Out parameter, an administrator should complete the following steps:
- Select your user profile.
- Select Admin Settings.
- Locate the Request Timeout modal.
- Click Edit.
- Adjust the interval by typing in a value or using the adjustment arrows on the input. The default value is 60 seconds.
- Select the check to save, or the X to cancel.
Mission Server License
Administrators can see when their Mission Server license expires. This can help mitigate a Server falling out of license scope and disrupting an organizations operational environment.
