Defining mobile map parameters

You can define one or more areas on a map that can be used with mobile devices. Updates you make to maps from the mobile device are synchronized with its map manager record in Maximo® Asset Management.

1. In the Map Manager application, create a new Map Manager record and select Maximo Spatial as the provider.
2. Select Is mobile?.
3. Configure the site for the Map Manager record and define the initial and full extents.
4. In the Offline Mobile Map Area section, add a row and enter a name for a new area.
5. Click Define offline map to open the map that is associated with the map manager record.
6. Select the dynamic map service layers to include for the mobile map.
   If you add a layer to the mobile map manager record, any offline maps that were previously downloaded to a device must be deleted and downloaded again.
7. Define the extent of the area and then click OK.
   • Use the Selection tool to select a previously defined polygon within the area.
   • Use the Drawing tool to draw a polygon area on the map.
8. Save the Map Manager record.
   The replicas section of the record is automatically configured with map services that include a feature service that contains replica operations.
9. Click Create Replica for each record in the Map Replicas table.
   The replica process starts by sending an asynchronous create replica request to the ArcGIS server in background mode. The request includes the information you defined for the extent parameters, layers and map security. Replica processing status is displayed in the replica status log area. Once the process has concluded, a geodatabase is downloaded from the ArcGIS server to the Maximo Asset Management server. The data is then formatted for the mobile application. Geodatabase triggers are removed and the Geodatabase information is stored in the Maximo Asset Management database.
