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 dependent on the number of values. For more information, see Incorporating the GIS Filter.

Procedure: How to Create a Map Procedure Using a WebFOCUS Desktop Product
  1. Launch a WebFOCUS desktop product, such as App Studio or Developer Studio.
  2. Use the Report canvas in App Studio or Report Painter in Developer Studio, to create 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 App Studio online Help or 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.
