Google Maps Integration Overview

Oracle Enterprise Asset Management can integrate with the web based source map viewer of Google Maps. Oracle Enterprise Asset Management assets can be geocoded and displayed in the map viewer based on user entered search criteria.

Note: Only those assets that have geocode information associated to them will display on the map.

You cannot geocode asset routes or non-serial rebuildables

Google Maps Integration with EAM

From the Maintenance Super User responsibility, when the user selects any asset icon on the map viewer, details such as asset number, description, asset group, owning department, asset location and geocodes will be displayed in a popup window. You can also access other pages to perform the following actions:

• Create a work order.

• Create a work request.

• View open work orders.

• View open work requests.

• View the graphical asset hierarchy for the asset.

Entering Geocodes for EAM Assets

1. Navigate to the Maintenance Super User responsibility, and click the Assets tab.

2. Enter EM1 in the Organization field and then click the Go button.

3. Click the Mass Geocode Entry sub-tab.

4. Enter search criteria to retrieve the assets, and click the Go button.

   

5. In the Update/Enter Asset Geocodes region, enter values such as

   • Latitude values for the asset:

     • Degrees - Enter a numeric value, do not use decimals, and you can enter a negative value.

     • Minutes - Do not use decimals.

     If the geocode information already exists for the queried asset, the information can be modified or deleted.

     • Cancel - to discard any changes you have made

     • Save - to save the changes and stay on the current page

     • Apply - to save your changes to the system, and the system returns you to the Mass Asset Entry Geocode page

Viewing Assets on Google Maps

If a responsibility has the appropriate roles and security, users can view the geospatial locations of EAM assets by using the map viewer functionality that is built into Google maps.

Note: If you want to view more than 100 assets on a Google map at one time, use the Asset Search page to query for those assets. It is recommended that you do not view more than 50-100 assets on a Google map at one time.
