Populate a custom map layer

post

/rest/ofscMetadata/v1/mapLayers/custom-actions/populateLayers

This operation creates a shapefile and converts it into a map layer in Oracle Field Service. This operation is asynchronous.

Only 10 internal custom map layers are allowed for an Oracle Field Service environment. Therefore only 10 different labels are allowed in a request to create a map layer.

A shapefile (zip archive) is limited to 2 GB. Not all the information in the zip archive is imported and therefore the maximum amount of data stored as Internal Custom Map Layers is limited to 1 GB per Oracle Field Service environment. Oracle Field Service downloads the shapefile from the specified url in the background. You should verify the status of shapefile download and creation using the 'Check custom map layer population status' api.

Request

Body ()

The request body object used for populating a custom map layer.

• authentication(required): object Authentication
  Title: Authentication

  The authentication used for downloading the geo-data from the external source specified in the URL field.

  • If the URL points to an HTTP service, and the type of the authentication specified is 'basic', then Oracle Field Service sends a request to this URL to authenticate using the HTTP-Basic scheme with the username and password as credentials.
  • If the URL points to an FTP service, and the type of the authentication specified is 'ftp', then Oracle Field Service connects via the FTP protocol using the username and password as credentials.
  • If the type of the authentication specified is 'none', then Oracle Field Service downloads the geo-data without any authentication.

• shapeHintColumns: array Shape Hint Columns
  Title: Shape Hint Columns

  The set of objects that define the contents of the hint for the shapes on the map.
• shapeTitleColumn: string
  Title: Shape Title Column

  Minimum Length: 1

  Maximum Length: 255
