You must update the database for maps visualization component by running the MapsInstall.sql located in prodfixsql/maps directory.

You can predefine available map data sources in the Map Visualization Component Configuration page.

To define the map data source:

1. Log in to Map Visualization Component Administration Console by entering the following URL in a Web browser:

   http://ServerName:PortNumber/mapviewer

   where ServerName is the application server and PortNumber is the port used by MSS.

   The Log In page is displayed.

2. Enter the user name and password that you used for installing the WebLogic Server and then click Log In.

   The Map Visualization Component Home page is displayed.

3. Click the Configuration tab.

   The mapViewerConfig.xml file is displayed.

4. Scroll down to the Predefined Data Sources section within the file.

5. Copy the contents starting from the map_data_source element to the end and paste the copied information after the existing predefined data source information within the Predefined Data Sources section.

6. (Optional) If you are using any user other than ASAP, do the following:

   1. Locate the grants.sql in the prodfixsql directory.

   2. Modify the grants.sql and replace user_id with the user ID other than ASAP user to connect to the data source.

   3. Run the updated grants.sql using sysdba privileges.

   4. Run the load_user_sdo_tables.sql in the prodfixsql directory using the user ID that you replaced in grants.sql.

7. Enter the details according to your settings to map the Map Visualization Component data source to the data source that MSS appserver is pointing to. For example:

   <!--***************************************************************************-->
   <!--**************************Predefined Data Sources**************************-->
   <!--***************************************************************************-->
   <map_data_source name="MSSDATA"               
         jdbc_host="db.example.com"                  
         jdbc_sid="orcl"                  
         jdbc_port="1521"                  
         jdbc_user="user"                  
         jdbc_password="!password"                   
         jdbc_mode="thin"                  
         number_of_mappers="3"                  
         allow_jdbc_theme_based_foi="false"                  
         editable="false"/>

8. Find <mds_config> element under Map Data Server Configs section and add the following datasource within the <mds_config> element:

   <!-- ****************************************************************** -->
     <!-- ******************** Map Data Server configs  ******************** -->
     <!-- ****************************************************************** -->
   <data_source name="MSSDATA"> 
          <allow_predefined_themes>true</allow_predefined_themes> 
          <allow_dynamic_themes>true</allow_dynamic_themes>   
       </data_source>

9. Click Save & Restart.

   The File mapViewerConfig.xml has been saved and MapViewer has been restarted messages are displayed above the Config area. The encrypted jdbc_password is displayed.

10. Select Admin tab.

    The MSSDATA data source that is configured in step 6 should appear in the existing Data Sources table.

11. Select Datasources and verify if the corresponding value (for example, MSSDATA) is displayed in the Existing data sources table.

You can use an existing world map as the base map.

To define base maps:

1. In the Map Visualization Component Administration Console, click the Admin tab.

2. Click Create tile layer link.

3. From Tile layer type, select Oracle Maps and click Next.

   The Tile Layer Properties page appears.

4. Under the External tile layer section, enter the Name as ELOCATION_MAP.

5. From Data source, select MSSDATA and click Next.

   The Tile Layer XML page appears.

6. Click Submit.

   The system saves the configuration changes.

7. Verify that the map is set up with the changes from the Existing map tile layers section in the Manage tile layers page.

The map tile layer is the link between MSS and Map Visualization Component.

There is no limit to the number of map tile layers that you can set up.

MSS uses Oracle Maps APIs to display and use map operations such as the initial center, zoom levels, and map controls. Oracle Maps applications require HTML5 support. To emulate the web browser to Microsoft Edge which supports HTML5, edit the Windows Registry settings for MSS.

To set up the web browser to Microsoft Edge:

1. Open the Windows Registry Editor.

2. Navigate to

   HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION

3. Create a new DWORD(32-bit) value entry. Enter the value as tbs.exe and Value Data as 2ee0 with base Hexadecimal.

   The entered value is saved for tbs.exe

4. Navigate to

   HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\BrowserEmulation

5. Edit the IntranetCompatibilityMode DWORD and modify the Value Data to 1.

   Note:

   Modify IntranetCompatibilityMode DWORD to 1 only if it is already displayed and the value data is 0. Do not add a new DWORD value entry.
6. Close the Windows Registry Editor.

To set up map view preferences in MSS:

1. Log in to MSS Application.
2. Navigate to Preferences and expand System Information folder.
3. Double-click the system preference named Engineering Maps View.
4. In the System Preference - Engineering Maps View window, enter the environment details specified in Table 11-1.
