WebOffice 10.9 SP2 supports also OGC Map Service WMTS (Web Map Tile Service) among WMS (Web Map Service) for fetching and displaying tiled maps. As subelements of an OGC map service (WMTS) it is possible to configure
•ArcGIS Server Service Output Service
Note: WebOffice 10.9 SP2 provides full support for WMTS services and WMTS services, provided by ArcGIS Server. The projection of the main map service and the WMTS service can be different. In this case, the WMTS service will be projected on-the-fly into a dynamic map image.
Note: Due to a very small amount of actually published Web Map Tile Services VertiGIS is improving the stability of the WMTS implementation step by step. If you have troubles using a WMTS with WebOffice 10.9 SP2, please contact your corresponding WebOffice support team and provide access information.
Note: The ArcGIS Server Output Service will be used for output and extended server functionality (print, ePaper, extract server but also raster reprojection and editing). It is mandatory to configure a central ArcGIS Server Output Service in the map elements. This output service can be overwritten for tools/functions through a specific configuration at the according position (i.e., a specific output service in the Print tool). The output service must always provide an Activated Server Object Extension.
Note: Configure a specific output service for an OGC map service (WMTS) whenever you need to reproject the OGC map service (WMTS). This way, other functionality that needs the central output service will remain unaffected.
Note: If no map image of the OGC map service is displayed, the system automatically tries to retrieve the tiles from another subdomain after a few seconds, if one exists.
Whenever a new OGC map service (WMTS) is added to the WebOffice 10.9 SP2 project configuration
•configure the corresponding Reference to Map Service of Map Collection in the table of content (mandatory)
•configure the corresponding reference to map service of map collection in the Map View (optionally)
OGC Map Service (WMTS) configuration
Property |
Description |
Server |
Specifies host name or IP address of the map server. Note: Specify the path to the WMTS-capabilities.xml and the layer. e.g. http://<server>/<path_to_xml>/<WMTS-capabilities>.xml?layer=<layer> Note: By default the parameters inspire, layer_id, login, map, name, ogc_ticket, pw, service_name are allowed in the URL, any other parameters will be ignored. Although the list of parameters can be expanded in OGC Parameter Whitelist. |
Service name (GUI) |
Service name of map service displayed in GUI. |
Metadata URL |
Configure a reference to a metadata document (must be available via HTTP) as URL. Note: You may configure the unique Metadata document identifier (UUID) of a Catalog Service (CSW 2.0) here. In this case you must configure the SOAP interface of the Catalog Services in Metadata Display. |
Metadata short description |
Provide a short description for the metadata (line breaks with \n"). |
Copyright |
Service specific copyright text to be added to the configured project copyright if the map service contributes to the map. Note: The service specific copyright will only be displayed if the map element Copyright is configured. Note: Detailed information about the use of these attributes can be found in chapters Template (File Name) and WebOffice ePaper Template (File Name). |
Server normalized |
Shows the normalized WMTS URL (will be filled automatically). |
Service user |
User name of user accessing OGC map service. Hint: If a domain user is used for accessing the service, then the windows domain needs to be provided in the format domain\user". If no domain is configured then authentification is done locally. |
Password |
Password of user accessing OGC map service. |
Password (pwd confirmation) |
Confirmation of password. |
Specifies if it's possible to display the legend of the service, if the service provides a legend information. Note: The WM(T)S service has to support the GetLegendGraphic operation. |
|
User Agent Header |
Defines the value of the HTTP User Agent Header for server-side requests. |
Layer encoding? |
Defines if special Characters (e.g üöäÜÖÄß etc.) in the OGC Layer Names are sent as URL encoded Characters. |
Most detailed scale level |
The most detailed scale level specifies to which scale level maps are available (this most detailed scale level can depend on the displayed area). Note: The WebMercator tiling scheme comprises 23 levels, level 1 is the most general (whole world), level 23 the most detailed with a scale of about 1:70, i.e. configuration values from 0 to 23 are valid. 0 specifies to request maps for any scale. If a value between 1 and 23 is configured, WebOffice will only request maps down to the configured most detailed scale level. |
Use like dynamic service? |
Specifies, whether the service is used like a dynamic map service (Yes) or not (No). Note: Can be useful for the following matters: •Ignoring the tiling schemes of a map service in order to use scales, that are not included in the tiling scheme •OSM services only expose cached behavior in the original OSM coordinate system, therefore this attribute is relevant in that case only |
Check content? |
Specifies if images are to be checked for content availability. In the case of no content, higher lod levels are displayed at a lower resolution. |
Tile size differs from the tiling scheme (for example using 512 pixel instead of 256 defined in the capabilities document). To display them correctly, set this option to Yes. Note: This is a WebOffice flex (flash) specific parameter. |
OGC Map Service (WMTS) properties
Note: An easy way to configure an OGC map service (WMTS) is by using the wizard Add Service.
Note: If your application does not have direct access to the internet, be sure to configure your proxy settings in WebOffice 10.9 SP2 application configuration for proper OGC WMTS functionality. See chapter Proxy-Server for HTTP Requests.
Note: See chapter Map Service Properties for details about the configuration of map service properties.
