Define Layer Mapping

[About GIS Integration] [GIS Concepts] [GIS Customizations] [GIS Integration]

Explanation

This activity is the first step to enable content to be shown in GIS Map window. This activity should be performed by a system administrator or equivalent person.

Prerequisites

A service should have been created and made public by the GIS system:

• Editable layers should have the URL format: http://<host>/<instance>/rest/services/<serviceName>/FeatureServer
• Read only layers and background maps (basemaps) should have the URL format: http://<host>/<instance>/rest/services/<serviceName>/MapServer

Logical units (LU) should have been defined with value GisintConnections as a service name in Solution Manager/Configuration/Object Connections. This enables LU to be shown and selected from List of Value in GIS Object Configuration window.

User should be have been assigned with DEFINE_SQL system privilege in order to enable values to be entered in Condition field.

System Effects

The following geographical information will be made possible to show in GIS Map window:

• GIS objects using editable layers and where business object connections can be made.
• GIS objects using read only layers.
• Background map (basemap).

Note! Geographical information in GIS Map window is not shown until GIS layer group configuration is done.

Enter a value for sort order on layers to control order in layer navigator and in which order layers are loaded in GIS Map. Try changing sort order if a point feature is hidden by a polygon feature or a line.

Procedure

Enable GIS objects using and editable layer to be shown in GIS Map window.

1. Open the Layer Mapping window.
2. Click New and enter a service URL in Map Service URL field. The service URL entered here should enable editing e.g. feature service.
3. Enter a Layer ID number for the layer. (Open the service URL in a web browser to see available layer IDs.)
4. Enter a value for Layer Display Name.
5. Select LU Name from the List of Values.
6. Optionally, enter a SQL Condition. The value in the condition field must follow the format: column_name, value and operators. Example for logical unit LinastLinearAsset with database view LINAST_LINEAR_ASSET_UIV: REVISION_STATUS_DB in ('Preliminary','Active') and LINEAR_ASSET_TYPE = 'ROAD-TRUNK'.
7. Select Layer Type with value Editable.
8. Optionally, select a Sort Order. This controls the order in which layers are shown in layer navigator and in which order layers are loaded in GIS Map.
9. Click Save.

Enable GIS Objects using a read only layer to be shown in GIS Map window.

1. Open the Layer Mapping window.
2. Click New and enter a service URL in Map Service URL field. The service URL entered here should direct to a read only map service.
3. Enter a Layer ID number for the layer. (Open the service URL in a web browser to see available layer IDs.)
4. Enter a value for Layer Display Name.
5. Select Layer Type with value Read Only.
6. Click Save.

Enable background maps to be shown in GIS Map window.

1. Open the Layer Mapping window.
2. Click New and enter a service URL in Map Service URL field. The service URL entered here should direct to a read only map service.
3. Enter a value for Layer Display Name.
4. Select Layer Type with value Basemap.
5. Click Save.
