Integrating Mapviewer and OBIEE 11G

Question

Hi all,
I am unable to get a map to be displayed in an answers report.
I have imported Layers, Background Maps and images into Answers under the Administration - Manage Map Data
In there I am able to display a map from the menu options Edit Background map.
However when adding a map view to answers report I get the following error:
View Display Error
A basemap is required to render a map. Please ensure that atleast one basemap is defined in the spatial meta-data
Error Details
Error Codes: EMGUNIA3
Location: saw.views.evc.activate, saw.httpserver.processrequest, saw.rpc.server.responder, saw.rpc.server, saw.rpc.server.handleConnection, saw.rpc.server.dispatch, saw.threadpool, saw.threadpool, saw.threads
If anybody have a working integration, please let me know what I am missing.
Regards,
Hakan

on Presentation OBIEE 11g , you need to integrate MapViewer with OBIEE11g :
* when you Build Themes (Layers) using Map Builder, don't forget to add Info Columns .
Example : in Region Table , Region_ID, Name , Description
once you do that, keep in note when you add this theme (layer) in Presentation (OBIEE11g) on Administration-->Map Management --> Manage Map Data ---> Layers .. Then Add your Theme (Layer).
* Double Click your Layer (Theme) and click ( +) icon to add New BI Key , these BI Keys are same columns you added in Map Builder Info Columns (Region_ID, Name, Description) you should add them serialized exactly like how you did it in Map Builder info columns which mean don't add (Name,Region_ID,Description) ... that will may unable to view map properly.
this step above you keep adding it each Subject Areas one by one if need for map, once you finish doing this, this mean you integrate Mapviewer with OBIEE11g...
don't forget to add at lease one measure in your answer to view map properly , so that you can add PIE, BAR charts or Color Schemes...
good luck
