System requirements

ArcGIS Workflow Manager Server has the same hardware and operating system requirements as the ArcGIS Server software component in ArcGIS Enterprise.

Software

Workflow Manager Server requires an ArcGIS Enterprise deployment.

You can install Workflow Manager Server on its own machine, separate from the hosting server machine, or on the hosting server machine. For production deployments, it is recommended that you install Workflow Manager Server on its own machine. In this scenario, ArcGIS Server must be installed but does not need to be licensed as a GIS server.

Port availability

To communicate with ArcGIS Enterprise, Workflow Manager needs access to the following ports where base deployment components are installed:

Port numberProtocolComponent

13443

Used by Workflow Manager. This port must be opened before installing the software.

If there is a firewall between ArcGIS Web Adaptor and Workflow Manager, port 13443 must be open between the machine hosting ArcGIS Web Adaptor and Workflow Manager.

7443

HTTPS

Used by Portal for ArcGIS.

6443

HTTPS

Used by ArcGIS Server and any hosted or federated server machines that will be used to run tools.

13820

13830

13840

Note:

This component is only one part of an ArcGIS Enterprise deployment. For information about requirements for other components, review ArcGIS Enterprise system requirements.

Supported web browsers

Workflow Manager requires one of the following web browsers:

  • Google Chrome
  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Microsoft Edge
Note:

Use Chrome or Firefox for the best experience.

SSL certificates

Workflow Manager Server is preconfigured with a self-signed certificate that allows you to verify that the installation was successful.

You must request a certificate from a trusted certificate authority (CA) and configure Workflow Manager Server to use it. This can be a domain certificate issued by your organization or a CA-signed certificate.

Portal for ArcGIS also includes a preconfigured self-signed certificate. Because you will federate Workflow Manager Server with an ArcGIS Enterprise portal, request a certificate from a trusted CA and configure the portal to use it.
