Understanding Security for Custom Map Viewers

Maps used in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne software, such as the Property Location Map (P15002X), use the Oracle eLocation services (http://elocation.oracle.com) to display the most current mapping information. If you need to use a secure connection to send sensitive latitude and longitude information, you must install and configure a custom map viewer instead of using the eLocation service. A custom map viewer enables you to secure the connection, provide options to utilize a different mapping service, and use customized point and data themes.

Note: It is recommended that you use a custom map viewer.

You can download a map viewer from the Oracle Technology Network (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/mapviewer/downloads/index-100641.html), along with instructions for installing it (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/mapviewer/documentation/index.html).

After you have a new mapviewer URL, you must modify the property in the build.properties file of the container ant script with the new URL, and then rebuild and deploy the container.ear file.
