GPVMapTab - AppGeo/GPV GitHub Wiki

A map tab provides a thematically-related set of layers from a single ArcGIS for Server map service for display on the map. The GPVMapTab table identifies the map services behind these map tabs.

You do not need to specify which map server technology you are using. The GPV will automatically look for an ArcGIS for Server map service with the specified MapHost and MapService.

Columns

  • MapTabID - A unique ID for this map tab (not null). This can be the same as the display name. Links to GPVApplicationMapTab, GPVMapTabLayer.
  • DisplayName - The name of this map tab shown on the interface (not null).
  • MapHost - The URL to the ArcGIS for Server (not null). This should be in the form http://servername (or https://servername if encrypted). If your map server is not available on the standard HTTP port (80) or HTTPS port (443), you should include the port number in the URL after a colon, e.g. http://servername:8080.
  • MapService - The name of the map service associated with this map tab (not null).
  • DataFrame - The name of the data frame to use for this map tab. If null, the default MXD data frame will be used.
  • UserName - The name of the user on the map server or domain that has permission to access this map service. If a domain user, prefix the user name with the domain and a backslash (\). Leave null when accessing an unsecured map service.
  • Password - The password of the user on the map server or domain that has permission to access this map service. Leave null when accessing an unsecured map service.
  • InteractiveLegend - Specifies whether an interactive legend with check boxes to control layer drawing should be enabled, 1 for yes and 0 for no. If null, defaults to 0 (no).
  • Active - Specifies whether this map tab should be available for use, 1 for yes and 0 for no. If null, defaults to 0 (no).

Alternative ArcGIS for Server Paths

If your ArcGIS for Server SOAP services are not running on the standard path (http://servername/arcgis/services) then specify the entire path to the SOAP services in the MapHost column, e.g. http://servername/MyArcGIS/services.

Deactivation

Deactivating a map tab will automatically deactivate any map layers and tile layers that are solely dependent upon it.

Changes

  • Removed at 5.0 BaseMapID, ShowBaseMapInLegend - The previous base mapping capabilities have been replaced with support for tiled image layers.
