OGC Map Service (WMTS)

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

WebOffice 10 R3 supports also WMTS (Web Map Tile Service) among WMS (Web Map Service) for fetching and displaying tiled maps.

 

Note: WebOffice 10 R3 supports WMTS services in WGS84 Web Mercator Auxiliary Sphere (EPSG:3857) and WMTS services, provided by ArcGIS for Server 10.1. When adding a WMTS service to a WebOffice 10 R3 project be sure, that the projection of the WMTS service fits the projection of the main map service. If not, the WMTS service will be projected 'on-the-fly' into a dynamic map.

Further information for usage of OGC services please check chapter OGC WMS Map Service.

 

Note: Due to a very small amount of actually published Web Map Tile Services SynerGIS is improving the stability of the WMTS implementation step by step. If you have troubles using a WMTS with WebOffice 10 R3, please contact web-support@mysynergis.com and provide access information.

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>

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. You may configure the unique document identifier (UUID) of a catalog service (CSW 2.0) here, for that configure the SOAP interface of the catalog service using 'metadata display'.

Metadata short description

Short description of 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. This information is only displayed on the print/plot.

Note: The service specific copyright will only be displayed if the map element Copyright is configured.

Note: Detailed information about the use of this attributes can be found in chapters Print Format and WebOffice ePaper template.

Server normalized

Shows the normalized WMTS URL (will be filled automatically).

Service user

Username fo user accessing the ArcGIS for Server service. Must be member of 'agsusers' ('GIS Server Users') group on ArcGIS for Server machine.

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 the authentication is done locally.

Password

Password of User accessing ArcGIS for Server service (must be member of 'GIS Server Users' group on ArcGIS for Server machine).

Password (pwd confirmation)

Confirmation of password.

Geographic Transformation Code/String

Geographic transformation code from WGS84 to the map coordinate system. Can be reviewed in '<ArcGIS_Desktop_Installation_Folder>\Documentation\geographic_transformations.pdf'). If a custom transformation is used, the transformation string with parameters can be used (copy/paste from the .gtf file is recommended).

Use like dynamic service?

Specifies, if the service is used like a dynamic map service.

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 behaviour in the original OSM coordinate system, therefore this attribute is relevant in that case only

 

For displaying the WMTS service in the client, it must be added either in the TOC (table of contents) or in a Map View.
