Creating Map Manager:The Map Manager enables you to set up the parameters required for map integration. This is a mandatory EAM setup which captures various parameters necessary to display map layers and also to communicate with the GIS system (ESRI/Oracle Spatial).
Attention: You can have only one active map manager record defined in the system. Currently, the association level supported is Site.
Note: This setup is mandatory for any map integration, even if you are not using the Linear Asset Management functionality. This setup enables you to use the Map Visualization for discrete assets.

Enter the Map Code (required).
Select the Association Level of Site (required).
Enter the Active Start Date.
Enter the Initial Zoom Level (required). This is default zoom level is used when the Map Workbench is launched.
Optionally enter a Map Viewer URL if you have the Map Viewer Server set up to maintain Oracle Spatial.
Enter values for the Initial CenterX point and Initial CenterY point. These default X and Y values (latitude and longitude) are used as a center for the map when the Map Workbench is launched.
Enter a value for the Locate Point Tolerance. This tolerance will be applied when capturing points between two points.
Enter the Spatial Reference ID which is the spatial reference that the asset geometry needs to use.
Enter the Map Layers to be used on the maps to extend the map visualization by adding user-defined layers on the base map. Examples: Customer Names, Zone Divisions, Engineering layout.
Enter Map Name.
Enter Order. This is the sequence in which the layer should be added.
Choose the Map Type:
Elocation: Select to display Oracle Maps.
Google: Select to display Google Maps.
Data Source: Select to display maps from Oracle Spatial map viewer data source.
You must select Elocation or Google. You cannot have both layers.
If Elocation or Google Layer is chosen as one of the map layers, it should have an Order value minimum of all layers (for example, 1), so that the first layer is added to the display.
Additionally, if Google is the selected map layer, then the Google Maps license key must be entered in profile, CSI:Google Maps Client Id.
You add more data sources as needed for additional map layers.
Enter the URL from which the data source is available. This field is available only if the selected map type is Data Source.
Enter the Theme name as configured in the Map Viewer data source. This field is available only if the selected map type is Data Source.
Enter the Locator URL: This field is used by the Search by address feature. This is the map viewer URL through which the location address can be converted to latitude and longitude.
Save your work.
ESRI Map Manager Setup:Navigate to Create Map Manager page (Maintenance Super User > Assets > Linear Assets > Map Managers > Create).
If ESRI is the chosen map viewer, then the ESRI fields will appear.
Enter the Map Code (required).
Select the Association Level of Site (required).
Enter the Active Start Date.
Enter values for MinX, MinY, MaxX and MaxY points. These points form the rectangular area that needs to be initially zoomed to when the Map Manager is launched.
Enter the value for the WikiID (well known ID) which is the Spatial Reference of the map. This component of the coordinate system is used by the Map Manager to display the map and assets on the map.
Enter the Map Layers to be used on the maps to extend the map visualization to extend the map visualization by adding user-defined layers on the base map. Examples: Customer Names, Zone Divisions, Engineering layout.
Enter values for the following:
Name
Order: The sequence in which the layer needs to be added.
URL: The ARCGIS map layer URL.
Transparency: The transparency that the map layer needs to use.
Display by Default: Select the check box so that the map layer appears automatically.
Enter the Locator URL. This geocoding field is used by the Find My Place feature in the Map Workbench.
This is the URL through which the location address can be sent and equivalent coordinates could be derived to zoom to a location.
Enter values for the Linear Assets Web Services feature.
These are Web Services generated from ESRI. The Feature Class/Table contains the Polyline shape and is published to the ESRI server to expose as webservices. A 'query' operation for the published webservices should be enabled so that EAM can query the Feature Class data.
Further, if the shape has measure dimensions, the webservice should also include the 'Linear Referencing' operation. This Linear Referencing Publishing would generate additional webservices geometrytomeasure and measuretogeometry which is required by EAM to perform dynamic segmentation.
Please refer to ESRI Roads and Highways Extension for more details on how to publish Feature Route with Linear Referencing capability.
Feature Class: Enter a name which represents an ESRI Feature Class. The Feature Class can be selected when you define linear asset segments in the Linear Asset Workbench to map the linear segment to ESRI geometry.
Note: You can create and associate multiple ESRI Feature Classes.
Query: The REST URL through which geometry can be queried by passing the Object ID or any unique ID in the Feature Class.
Feature Class Unique ID Field: The identifier of the Feature Class table in the ESRI system.
You can publish and define multiple ESRI Feature Classes, and map them to various linear assets segments to associate the ESRI shape and geometry.
For example, the Electrical and the Water and Sewage departments could have their respective functional assets in the ESRI system, each residing in the respective Feature Class tables.
The Electrical Department will have transmission lines in the Transmission Feature Class table. This table would be defined and published with a Feature Class name with respective URLs in Map Manager. When defining the transmission line linear asset, the linear segments would choose the Transmission Line Feature class to associate to its ESRI shape/geometry.
Similarly, the Water and Sewage Department will have its own Feature Class tables which would be published and defined in the Map Manager. When defining water and sewage linear assets, the respective Feature Class would be chosen to map the shape and geometry in ESRI.
Unique ID Data Type: Type of data in the unique column name on the ESRI Feature Class Table. Can be Number or Varchar.
The following URLs are required for the linear referencing capability only if the published ESRI Feature class has measure dimensions.
If the shape has measure dimensions, then the Feature table is a route and is eligible for dynamic segmentation. The URLs would be used by EAM to dynamically segment the route. The Linear Referencing option is provided by ESRI while publishing to generate additional URLs. Please refer to ESRI Map Integration for more details on REST services publishing.
Geometry To Measure: The URL through which a geometry point is passed so that the equivalent measure value on the asset geometry is returned.
Attention: This URL can be generated only if you have Roads and Highways Extension for ARCGIS desktop and Server installed.
Measure To Geometry: The REST URL through which a measure is passed so that the equivalent geometry point value on the asset geometry is returned.
Attention: This URL can be generated only if you have Roads and Highways Extension for ARCGIS desktop and Server installed.
Tolerance: Tolerance: Enter a tolerance offset value. You can click the asset geometry in the Map Workbench; however, it is not always possible to click the asset. This value considers the mouse click as an asset click if it is within the tolerance limit.
Attention: Use the Linear Asset Workbench to associate Feature Classes to asset segments. See Using the Linear Asset Workbench for more information.
Click the icon in the Responsibility and User columns to restrict access control to feature classes based on the responsibility and user. This control restricts users to access specific feature class data in the Map Workbench.
Note: All users associated with the specific responsibility will have the same access to the feature classes. This is applicable only when no user entry is made in the 'Users' column.
By using the Discrete Asset Feature Web Services region on the page, you can also publish point shape Feature Classes and map to discrete assets by entering values for the following fields.
These are web services generated from ESRI System. The Feature Class and table that contain the Point shape is published to the ESRI server to get exposed as webservices. A query operation for the published webservices should be enabled so that EAM can query the Feature Class data.
Feature Class: This value is selected during asset creation to map the asset to the ESRI Point geometry.
Use the Define Asset Number form to associate Point Feature Classes to discrete assets. See Defining Asset Numbers.
Use the Linear Asset Workbench to associate Point Feature Classes for linear assets. See Using the Linear Asset Workbench for more information.
