12-2 System Administrators Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition 13 Configuring Mapping and Spatial Information 13-1 13 Configuring Mapping and Spatial Information When you install Oracle BI Enterprise Edition, you install functionality for users to see maps that display data. Before users can see maps in analyses and dashboards, you must understand the system requirements, specify layers and maps, and configure the metadata. This chapter includes the following topics: ■ Section 13.1, What Are the System Requirements for Map Views? ■ Section 13.2, Hardware Sizing and Deployment Strategy for Maps ■ Section 13.3, Administering Maps See Chapter 20, Configuring Advanced Options for Mapping and Spatial Information for information about advanced configuration options for maps. 13.1 What Are the System Requirements for Map Views? To include map views on dashboards, the system must include the following components: ■ Oracle MapViewer, which is a J2EE service that serves as an engine for rendering maps using spatial data managed by Oracle Spatial. MapViewer is closely integrated with Oracle BI EE. MapViewer is installed as part of Oracle BI EE and deployed in the same domain as Oracle BI EE on the Web application server. MapViewer provides services and tools that hide the complexity of spatial data queries and cartographic rendering, while providing customizable options for more advanced users. MapViewer is designed to integrate with Location-Based services and applications. For information, see Section 20.1, Configuring MapViewer to Support Map Views. ■ Spatial boundary data. NAVTEQ is one provider of this data to Oracle customers, which can be downloaded from the Oracle Technology Network. This spatial data and any other spatial metadata, including themes and styles, must be stored in an Oracle Database to be accessed by Oracle MapViewer for display in map views. ■ Hosted maps. Oracle BI EE allows users to access hosted maps from the Oracle eLocation service. Terms and conditions of use are located at the following URL: http:elocation.oracle.comelocationlegal.html
