Basic Map Entities

Multiple entities in the system are associated with geographic location, directly or by proxy.

Map-enabled entities are those in which the data includes the latitude/longitude directly or in which the latitude/longitude can be derived using other information captured on the Business Object.

For these entities the following is supported:

Map Zone on Maintenance Portal

The availability of the map is controlled by the Business Object option Geo Map Derivation Script. This option references a service script that retrieves list of geo locations associated with the entity.

The zone on the maintenance portal is visible only when the script returns one or more locations.

Note: The product geo map derivation service scripts follow a naming convention of script code C1-GeoMap%. These scripts share a common schema structure:
<schema> 
    <includeDA name="C1-GeoMapInfo"/> 
</schema>

Map on the Search/Query Results

The search results for the map-enabled entity includes View Map option. The derivation of the location information is performed by Business Object’s Geo map Derivation Script. The map is shown on the popup window.
