Creating a Map Procedure

How to:

A map procedure is slightly different in its construction from a report procedure. This procedure will not have any visible output as a report would. Instead the adapter will alter the output format so that it is returned as XML.

The type of filtering you will use is dependant on the number of values. For more information, see Incorporating the GIS Filter.

Procedure: How to Create a Map Procedure Using WebFOCUS Developer Studio
  1. Launch the WebFOCUS Developer Studio.
  2. Use Report Painter to develop the map procedure.
    • Only print the one field that contains values that are common between the WebFOCUS data source and the ArcGIS Server map layer.

    • Depending on the type of map layer being drawn you will need to add fields to the procedure that represent the COLOR, SHAPE, SIZE and TITLE attributes. This can be accomplished using either COMPUTE or DEFINE fields.

      For more information on creating COMPUTE or DEFINE fields, see the Developer Studio documentation.

  3. Add the GIS filter clause.
  4. Add this procedure as a new FEX in the ESRI Configuration Utility with type=map.
