Configuring mapViewerConfig.xml Configuration File for MVDEMO

Previous TopicNext TopicContents

Caution: Do Not click Save and Restart. That will make the Weblogic console, FMW EM console, and Analytics inaccessible, and you will need to restart the whole instance.

To configure the map viewer configuration file for MVDEMO:

  1. Access the MapViewer by going to

    http://<machine.domain>:9704/mapviewer

  2. Select the Admin link.
  3. Log into MapViewer using the same administrative user you use to log in to the WebLogic and Enterprise Manager console.
  4. Select Configuration. The mapViewerConfig.xml configuration file will open.
  5. Make the following changes:
    1. Under <security_config> tag set the following values:

      <disable_direct_info_request> true </disable_direct_info_request>

      <disable_info_request> true </disable_info_request>

      <disable_csf>true</disable_csf>

      <enforce_security_role> true </enforce_security_role>

    2. Under <security_config> tag set the machine name. Replace machine.domain with the host name where the MapViewer instance is running:

      <proxy_enabled_hosts>

      http://machine.domain:9704/mapviewer,http://machine.domain:9704/

      </proxy_enabled_hosts>

  6. Scroll down to the sample Data Source (commented out):

    <map_data_source name=”mvdemo”

    jdbc_host=”db1.my_corp.com”

    jdbc_sid=”orcl”

    jdbc_port=”1521″

    jdbc_user=”scott”

    jdbc_password=”!tiger”

    jdbc_mode=”thin”

    number_of_mappers=”3″

    allow_jdbc_theme_based_foi=”false”

    />

  7. Use this sample Data Source to create your own Data Source to the database where the spatial data and MapViewer metadata resides. Copy and paste the tag just below the existing one. Make sure that you are not copying the opening comment tag <!– and closing comment tag –>

    It should look similar to this (change machine.domain to your host name. Also change, Oracle SID, database port with the proper values):

    <map_data_source name=”mvdemo”

    jdbc_host=”machine.domain”

    jdbc_sid=”obiee11g”

    jdbc_port=”1521″

    jdbc_user=”mvdemo”

    jdbc_password=”!mvdemo”

    jdbc_mode=”thin”

    number_of_mappers=”3″

    allow_jdbc_theme_based_foi=”false”

    />

    Note: The exclamation mark (!) preceding the password tells MapViewer that the password should be encrypted next time the MapViewer instance is restarted.

  8. Click Save. DO NOT click Save and Restart.
