Configuring the Map connection to Oracle MapViewer

The Map component uses Oracle MapViewer (11.1.1.7.2 or greater) to display the map. Studio includes framework settings to configure the connection to MapViewer.

By default, Studio is configured to use the public instance of MapViewer. If you are using that instance, and your browser has access to the Internet, then you should not need to make any configuration changes.

Studio includes the following framework settings related to the MapViewer connection. If you are using your own instance of MapViewer, or if your browser does not have Internet access, then you must change these settings. For details on configuring framework settings in Studio, see the Administrator's Guide.

Framework Setting Description
df.mapLocation The URL for the MapViewer eLocation service.

The eLocation service is used for the text location search, to convert the location name entered by the user to latitude and longitude.

By default, this is the URL of the global eLocation service.

If you are using your own internal instance, and do not have Internet access, then set this setting to "None", to indicate that the eLocation service is not available. If the setting is "None", Studio disables the text location search.

If this setting is not "None", and Studio is unable to connect to the specified URL, then Studio disables the text location search.

Studio then continues to check the connection each time the page is refreshed. When the service becomes available, Studio enables the text location search.
df.mapViewer The URL of the MapViewer instance.

By default, this is the URL of the public instance of MapViewer.

If you are using your own internal instance of MapViewer, then you must update this setting to connect to your MapViewer instance.
df.mapTileLayer The name of the MapViewer Tile Layer.

By default, this is the name of the public instance.

If you are using your own internal instance, then you must update this setting to use the name you assigned to the Tile Layer.
