Administration of Visio
Services
This chapter covers common adminstrative tasks for Visio. Commands for both
Central Administration (CA) and PowerShell (PS) are included. We will also look at some
of the factors affecting the performance of Visio Services. Note that these tasks apply to
the on premises version of SharePoint. You have much less flexibility in Office 365.
Administering Visio Services can be done using either Central Administration (CA)
or PowerShell (PS).
■
To access PowerShell, simply click on Start ➤ All programs ➤ Microsoft
SharePoint 2010 Products ➤ SharePoint 2013 Management Shell.
Tip
Best Practice:
1. Set up an application pool and a managed account before you begin. Most of the settings
and configurations require both application pool accounts and managed accounts and you
really don't want to go back to create them in the middle of operation. Plan ahead and make
a list of all these accounts before you begin setting up your farm/application.
2. Make sure that you are member of the Administrators group. Again, you definitely need to
be the local administrator for many obvious reasons. You don't want to start your application
with a low privilege account and get access denied for an administration job.
Create a New Visio Graphics Service Application
From CA: from Application Management
➤
Manage Service Applications, click New
and choose Visio Graphics Service. Provide the application name, choose application
pool or create a new one, and choose or not to create an application proxy (add to default
group) and click OK.
