20.3 Inserting Text on a Map

You can add any text, such as a copyright string, to the tile layer definition of a map. The text is automatically updated on the map in Oracle BI EE when a tile layer is added or deleted or becomes invisible. The position of the text is also automatically adjusted when the user minimizes, restores, or removes the overview map. Figure 20–2 shows an example of a copyright string on a map. The string is in the lower-right corner. Figure 20–2 Copyright String on a Map To insert text in the tile layer definition on a map: 1. Create the tile layer. For information, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Users Guide for Oracle MapViewer.

2. Edit the tile layer definition by selecting it and clicking the Edit View Details

button.

3. On the Edit page, enter the appropriate text in the Copyright text field.

For example, the following code displays the copyright line that is shown in Figure 20–2 . copyrightMap data © 2010, NAVTEQcopyright

4. Click the Submit button to save your changes.

5. If you do not see the updated text on the map, then click the browsers Refresh

button to refresh the map.

20.4 Configuring Maps for External Consumption

You can embed map views in external pages, such as those from Oracle Portal, after setting the appropriate configuration options. To embed views that are hosted in a separate Web application server, you can follow the proxy rules that are outlined in the previous sections. Because of browser restrictions, install the MapViewer instance in the same application server as external pages or portals. The proxy context path of the MapViewer instance that is installed in the Web application server that hosts external pages can differ from the application server that is hosting content for Oracle BI EE. In Configuring Advanced Options for Mapping and Spatial Information 20-5 this case, set the SyndicatedOracleMapViewerContextPath element. When the server for Oracle BI Presentation Services identifies a request that originated from a third-party page, the server checks the element value to determine where to pass the proxy requests. The following example provides sample values for this element.

To do so, you modify the instanceconfig.xml file to include the URL element and its interrelated subelements, as described in the following procedure. Before you begin this procedure, ensure that you are familiar with the information in Section 3.4, Using a Text Editor to Update Configuration Settings. To manually edit the settings for resource availability and URL generation: 1. Open the instanceconfig.xml file for editing, as described in Section 3.6, Where Are Configuration Files Located? 2. Locate the section in which you must add the elements that are described in Table 21–1 . 3. Include the elements and their ancestor elements as appropriate, as shown in the following example: ServerInstance URL AbsoluteCommandURLPrefixvalueAbsoluteCommandURLPrefix CustomerResourcePhysicalPathvalueCustomerResourcePhysicalPath CustomerResourceVirtualPathvalueCustomerResourceVirtualPath ForceAbsoluteResourceURLvalueForceAbsoluteResourceURL ResourcePhysicalPathvalueResourcePhysicalPath ResourceServerPrefixvalueResourceServerPrefix ResourceVirtualPathvalueResourceVirtualPath URL ServerInstance 4.
