Manually Configure Map Views

Use various elements in the instanceconfig.xml file to configure map views.

1. Open the instanceconfig.xml file for editing, located in:

   BI_DOMAIN/config/fmwconfig/biconfig/OBIPS

2. Search for the SpatialMaps section, in which you must add the following elements:

   • ColocatedOracleMapViewerContextPath — Specifies the context path of the MapViewer instance that is co-located with Oracle Analytics Server. The default value is /mapviewer.

   • RemoteOracleMapViewerAbsoluteURL — Specifies the URL of the remote MapViewer instance. This element has no default value.

     If this element has no value, then the system assumes that the map rendering engine is the co-located MapViewer instance (such as /mapviewer). If this element has a value, then the co-located MapViewer acts as proxy for all requests for the remote server. The following example shows a sample value:

     <RemoteOracleMapViewerAbsoluteURL>http://remoteserver:9704/mapviewer </RemoteOracleMapViewerAbsoluteURL>
     

   • MaxRecords — Specifies the maximum number of records that can be included in a layer on the map. The setting applies to all layers on the map and overrides the MaxVisibleRows element that applies to data cubes. The default value is 500. If the format for a layer causes this value to be exceeded, then a warning message is displayed. The parent element is LayerDataLayout.

   • SyndicatedOracleMapViewerContextPath — Specifies the URL of the MapViewer instance for embedding maps in external pages. For details and an example, see Configure Maps for External Consumption.

3. Include the elements and their ancestor elements as appropriate, as shown in the following example.

   <ServerInstance>
      <SpatialMaps>
         <ColocatedOracleMapViewerContextPath>/mapviewer</ColocatedOracleMapViewerContextPath>
         <RemoteOracleMapViewerAbsoluteURL></RemoteOracleMapViewerAbsoluteURL>
         <LayerDataLayout>
           <MaxRecords>600</MaxRecords>
         </LayerDataLayout>
      </SpatialMaps>
   </ServerInstance>
   

4. Save your changes and close the file.
5. Restart the system.
