Map Manager application

In the Map Manager application, you create maps and configure map services for spatially enabled applications.

Only the following map services are supported:
  • Esri ArcGIS Server REST interface
  • Public REST from ArcGIS online

Open Street Map format services and public ArcGIS data are available for Maximo Application Framework without a Spatial entitlement.

By creating maps in this application, you are configuring several services that are used together to create a map. These services exist in external servers, and you must provide URL addresses to these services. The following table shows the services that you can configure:
Table 1. Configurable services
Service Description
Map service You use map services to access a map in spatially enabled applications.

Each map service must have one or more service layers. Service layers represent a distinct theme on the map, such as aerial photography, roads, sewer lines, and electrical service.

Geometry service You use the drawing tools on the map, which uses the geometry service.
Geocode service You use the Geocoder tool on the map, which uses the geocode service.

You also use this application to select the sites that use each map. A map can be used by one or more sites, but each site can use only one map.

You can use public maps from OpenStreetMap, and ArcGIS Online as base maps. You configure map tips actions to provide more feature information on a map.

The Map Manager application also controls whether GIS features are automatically created on the map for work orders and service requests. You also define the label text and the position of a label for features that are automatically on the map.
