Map Viewer and Map Builder preview releases

Hello,
You promissed new preview releases of these tools after January 2006. When dou you think they will be posted on OTN ?
I ask this because I'm starting a new project.
Regards,
Lucian

There'll likely be an announcement when it's ready for download.
At present there isn't a specific date yet. Sometime March this year is a possibility.

Map Builder Preview rendering errors

I am having problems using Map Builder. I have wasted quite a bit of time trying to fix these problems assuming I was doing something wrong, or something was wrong with my data.
Error 1: I create a map using 2 themes. One theme is a geometry theme of topo edge primitives. The other is a topology theme of features built from those primitives. The geometry theme is assigned a red line style. The topology(feature) theme is assigned a blue line style. the geometry theme is listed first, to draw first. I expect to see the red overdrawn by the blue. The preview show red lines. When viewed in Acquis Data Editor, this map displays as expected (blue lines) and when a feature is removed (disassociated from the topo primitive) the underlying primitive shows up as red. When I stop and restart Map Builder, the preview rendering is as expected, blue on top.
Error 2: I create a map using 1 theme. This theme is a geometry theme of topo edge primitives. I assign node and edge styles. When I preview the map, the nodes (only one node per edge) are displayed at the center of the straight edges, at what appears to be mid-distance between the end points of the edges of the shaped edges (not on the edge), and in the center of rings created by edges that have the same start and end node. They look like they are attempting to be what ESRI calls label points. Again, when I view this map in Acquis Data Editor, the nodes show up on the ends of the edges where I usually tend to look for nodes to show up. Stopping and restarting Map Builder does not fix this rendering problem.
Are these known bugs and when can I expect to use the preview button reliably?

For the red line style, L.EDGE, the xml def is:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<svg height="1in" width="1in">
<desc/>
<g class="line" style="fill:#FF33FF;stroke-width:1.0">
<line class="base"/>
</g>
</svg>
For the blue line style, L.FEATURESTYLE, the xml def is:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<svg height="1in" width="1in">
<desc/>
<g class="line" style="fill:#3366FF;stroke-width:1.0">
<line class="base"/>
</g>
</svg>
For the geometry (edge primitive) theme, TOPO_EDGE, the xml def is:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<styling_rules>
<rule>
<features style="C.FACE"> </features>
</rule>
<rule>
<features style="M.NODE"> </features>
</rule>
<rule>
<features style="L.EDGE"> </features>
</rule>
</styling_rules>
For the topology(feature) theme, GLOBAL, the xml def is:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<styling_rules theme_type="topology" topology_name="MGF_TOPO">
<rule>
<features style="L.Featurestyle"> </features>
</rule>
</styling_rules>
For the base map, TEST2, the xml def is:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<map_definition>
<theme name="TOPO_EDGE"/>
<theme name="GLOBAL"/>
</map_definition>
As I said earlier, this does display blue lines after a restart of MapBuilder but upon first creating this map and themes, the initial display is red lines.
As to error 2: I understand now that Acquis probably does a specialty mapping of metatdata and uses the NODE$ table, applying the style definition for the edge theme (M.NODE) to display them.

Subform Set visible in Design View and not PDF preview

I have created a form and used several subform sets, all of the sets and subforms within it are set to visible, but when I look at the PDF preview and when I upload the form into my internal system some of the sections are missing. I am not sure what is wrong, can someone please help!?

A subformset is used when you have numerous different subforms that can be laid down but the imbound data stream will determine which subform to lay down. For exmple if you have a form that has a a different verbiage based on state then you can have all of the subforms defined that could possibly go there then when the data is merged the state is derived and only the one for that state is used.
Hope that helps

My Spry Menu bar is different in design view and when I preview in Browser.

When in design view my Spry Meny Bar is horizontal like I chose. But when I preview it in browser it appears as just type verically down the side of the screen. With no boxes around it. Please help.

Did you define a local site folder in DW before you began your project?

Using Map Builder to view Spatial data

Is anyone using XE for Spatial/Locator work? I have created a schema in XE from a spatial dmp file. I know the dmp file creates a valid schema as we use it all the time for testing. After import, I can't view any spatial layers using Oracle's Map Builder, or with any other spatial viewer for that matter. The tables look valid, have geom columns, are populated, are registered in the metadata... Does anyone have any ides why I can't access my spatial layers from XE?

Looks like mdsys is alive in my XE 11gR2 instance ...... which doesn't mean all Spatial features will work. As mentioned before, Oracle Spatial is among the "Options and Major Features Not Included" according to the [url http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17781_01/license.112/e18068/toc.htm#BABJIJCJ]Licensing Information.
A few lines below, you'll find Oracle Locator to be available in XE anyway. Locator needs the MDSYS schema, but that schema obviously doesn't comprise everything you need for Spatial features. Spatial is an EE option. It could actually be that XE still carries everything you'd need but it's simply disabled... See the [url http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/options/spatial/overview/introduction/spatial-locator-features-100445.html]OTN Locator/Spatial features overview to get ... an overview. ;)

Styeles and themes in map builder

Where are the styles and themes created using the map builder tool stored?

Hi Richard,
For styles, you can definately create them once (in any schema), and use them from any other schema. For instance if you are connected as user A and you want to apply the style 'star' defined in user B, just use the format 'B.star' to reference it.
Themes and base-maps, however, cannot be shared across schemas at the moment. This is mainly to keep things simple. If we allow cross-schema reference of themes & basemaps, you will soon end up with some confusing scenarios.. For instance, imagine this:
MapViewer is connected to db user A, and we want to display a basemap from user B. The base map contains a theme from user C, and another one from user D. The first theme actually relies on a table owned by user E, while the 2nd theme gets its data from a view ownded by user F... pretty soon we no longer knows what is really being displayed on a map.
So my suggestion is to create styles in any place you want, but create themes (and basemaps) in the user that is connected by MapViewer, in this case, your <schema>_WEB account. Different applications or departments within an organization often want 'personalized' themes/basemaps for the same tables, so storing themes/basemaps closer to the application (instead of their underlying data) is not a bad idea (i hope).
There is unfortunately a bug in Mapviewer that makes it hard to create a theme for a table from a different schema (yea we tried to 'keep it simpler' - bad idea). Currently, the work around is to manually change the user_sdo_themes entry, so that its 'base table' column looks like 'schema.ROADS', and also add an entry in user_sdo_geom_metadata for 'schema.ROADS'. This will be fixed in the MapViewer soon, and also in Map Builder so that when creating a new theme, you can see all the spatial tables across all the schemas you have 'select' previlege.

Map Builder SVG onmouseover and onclick

Hi,
I'd like to know more about these functions in Map Builder.
I'd like to be able to change the color of a marker using onmouseover,
and select that marker by using onclick. Any info. would help.
Thanks,
Marlene

Hi Marlene,
these theme attributes (onmouseover and onclick) are to be used when you have an application with MapViewer that generates a SVG map. They define the method to call on your application script. MapBuilder does not generate SVG maps. You can fill these parameters with some name, and save the predefined theme. Then you need to develop an application code for SVG implementing these methods. After you deploy MapViewer kit, you should find on the MapViewer web page some demos including SVG.

Map Builder and SSO?

Does anyone know if it is possible to use SSO (Single Sign On) to connect to Map Builder? I cannot seem to get this to work regardless of the connection options I try. Thanks for any insight...

Map Builder JavaScript API

Hello everybody,
I'm a student who is currently working with Oracle for the first time. I developed an Web mapping application by using Oracle XE Database (10g), Oracle Map Viewer and corresponding Map Builder (the latest version). I choose the JavaScript API for the implementation of this application.
The reason for this post is one particular problem that I encountered. I want to extract the X and Y coordinates (which are naturally stored as SDO_GEOMETRY in my database) for certain features that are visible in my map window (this features belong to themebasedFOIs). I know that the x and y coordinates (and other attribs) are easily accessible for the JavaScript Client if the coordinates are stored in own columns (additionally to the information stored in the SDO_GEOMETRY) ... but that is not the case!
I searched the JavaScript API, the Internet, this forum and it took me a long time ... but I didn't come across any possiblity to manage this. So does anybody who reads this post see a possibility to get my X and Y coordinates from my HTML application that is build with JavaScript API???
I will be very thankful for any advices and/or hints... :-)
With regards

hi, we don't return the geometry back to the client unless the foi is a point.

Pages created by Template view and preview Ok - Except when linked on page

I created a template in DW. The template contains a background image and an editable region. I made some pages using the template / updated my pages and saved them as html. I have worked with templates before.
Here is the problem. I can open, view the html files in DW that I applied the template to, they look normal. I can preview the files in IE.
If I click a link in lets say the index file, to another lets cay contact.html file that I applied the template to, it only loads the editable region and I don't see the template applied. If I pull up the file, say contact.html in DW the template is applied and if I preview it the page displays. No background image or dropdown includes are on the page and the template is not applied for some reeason in preview when linking from a hotspot. The path is correct.
I tried this several times and still no luck. I even uplopaded to the web and the same thing is happening.
Please advise as to what I should look at? I can direct you to an example if need be. -
Dreamweaver MX user.
Thanks,
Greg

Here is the code of an html file in which the region is editable. The template has been applied to this page and is one of the pages that is having a problem.
I will need to look further into your last response, although it makes perfect sense to a webmaster like yourself, it only makes partial sense to me but I do undertand the point. I will look into that furher, thank you for your response.
When looking at the code, my Background image was repeating and I do not want it to. I edited some of the code and although, it does not look clean, it does work. Maybe this is part of the problem.
In this example, I did get the background to work, not sure how, but my includes and a image over the background with the hotspots are not wodking.

About label Oracle Map Builder

Hello! I have a question about Oracle Map Builder.
There are three layers in basemap: the first - a polyline, the second - a point, and the third - a polygon with a solid color (top). Labels are included to the first two signatures. While viewing the map shows a third (polygon) layer, and the signature of the first two.
Question: Is there a possibility to remove the appearance of signatures of the lower layers (disabling signatures by minimum scale for display is not suitable, as they are used outside of polygon layer), and how to do it?
Thank you!

I'm not sure I understand the question. Here's is my assumption of what the question is.
You have three layers in a basemap : a polyline, a point, and a polygon in that order. That is polyline rendered first, points on top of it, and then the color-filled polygon layer on top of those two.
The part I don't understand is what you mean by signatures of the polyline and point layers.
Anyway, if the solid color-filled polygon layer is rendered last (i.e. on top) then the other two layers should not be visible at all unless their extent (the area they cover) differs from the extent for the polygon layer or the polygon layer does not completely cover the map extent or it's not a solid color fill but one with some transparency setting.
Scale ranges can be applied to each layer when adding them to a basemap in MapBuilder. Choose the scale mode (e.g. ratio) and set the max and min scale values for each layer. e.g.
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<map_definition>
<theme name="STATES_DENSITY" min_scale="Infinity" max_scale="2.5E7" scale_mode="RATIO"/>
<theme name="COUNTY_POPDENSITY" min_scale="2.5E7" max_scale="0.0" scale_mode="RATIO"/>
<theme name="HIGHWAYS_LINE"/>
<theme name="CITIES" min_scale="1000000.0" max_scale="1000.0" scale_mode="RATIO"/>
</map_definition>
The above says render the states_density layer while zoomed out to the full extent and up until the user zooms in to a 1:250,000,000 scale. When zoomed in further do not render/display the states population density layer. Display the county population density instead. Always display the highways. And start to display cities when the map in zoomed to 1:1,000,000 and up until 1:1,000 scale.
If you want to set the labeling scale ranges on a per layer (theme) basis then set it using the Other Properties panel in Map Builder. For the Cities layer above the styling rule with label scale ranges set is:
<styling_rules>
<scale_ranges>
<mode> RATIO </mode>
<min_labeling_scale> 1.0E8 </min_labeling_scale>
<max_labeling_scale> 10000.0 </max_labeling_scale>
</scale_ranges>
<rule>
<features style="M.ALL_CITY_L1_8X8"> (POP90 > 1000000) </features>
<label column="CITY" style="T.S03_CITIES_L1"> 1 </label>
</rule>
</styling_rules>
i.e. show city names from 1:100,000,000 till 1:10,000
1/100,000,000 is a smaller number than 1/10,000
Hope this helps.

Oracle Map Builder Network Models

We are working on a project that displays road networks in Oracle Map Builder. Many of the network tables were irrevelant so they were deleted in SQL Developer. However, in Oracle MapBuilder all the Network Tables are still listed. Does anyone know how to synchonize Oracle SQL Developer and MapBuilder?
Thank you,
Renee

Hi Renee,
Were you using the Network Themes to create new Network Themes or were you using Geometry Themes?
If you used Network Themes, when you deleted the network (tables), did you delete its entry in user_sdo_network_metadata?
If you were using the Geometry Themes, did you delete the entry from user_sdo_geom_metadata after you delete the geom. table?
Try to remove the entries in the network/geom metadata views when you no longer need the network/geom tables.
You also need to commit after you deleted the tables.
What version of MapBuilder are you using? (click Help->About Oracle Map Builder)

Import image in Map Builder

When using the import image tool of Map Builder to create a GeoRaster theme, you may get a popup window with an error message saying that the import was not successful. The application console should contain the following lines.
Creating GeoRaster Table...
Calling DML trigger...
Creating raster data table...
Importing File...
java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError: null
The georaster object is not loaded correctly!!
This error happens because of a missing JAI initialization file on mapbuilder.jar file. To solve this problem you need to add the initialization file to mapbuilder.jar.
1) locate file jai_core.jar on your Oracle installation (usually located at ordim/lib directory).
2) extract file javax.media.jai.registryFile.jai (extract with full path meta-inf\).
2) go to directory where mapbuilder.jar is and double click it to open (usually opens with WinZip).
3) drag folder meta-inf that contains the JAI initialization file to the opened mapbuilder.jar. Check if you have the initialization file with path meta-inf\ inside mapbuilder.jar.
4) Close mapbuilder.jar.
5) Start Map Builder and test the import.

House Numbers using Map Builder

Hi everyone!
I am using Oracle Map Builder (ver. 11.1.1.0.0) in order to draw house numbers along streets, using 20% and 80% offset along the street axis for the "from" and "to" numbering, respectively, and 20% and -20% offset vertically to the street axis for the two sides of the street, respectively.
To my understanding so far, I am able to do this using the Arrow option from the Overall Line Style Option, where I will have to select a Marker Style for which I would have defined the X and Y Offset parameters in the Marker Text Style Option, while the marker's symbol would have 0% opacity, since I wouldn't like any symbol drawn with my house numbers.
Since I think it is a bit silly to use a Marker Style for this reason only because of its offset options, is it possible to do the same using a Text Style (where the offset options seem to be inactive)?
Thanks in advance,
Panagiotis
PS: Sorry for cross posting with the Spatial Forum -I think this forum is more suitable for my inquiry.

Hi
After all, the Arrow option from the Overall Line Style Option does not support the functionalities needed to draw house numbers along streets, since not only the the X or Y axis of the offset options do not follow the direction of the line (street), but the offset parameters are measured in distance units only (i.e. pt, mm and so forth) and not in a percentage of the line's length (from its beginning or end), as well.
Is anyone aware of such functionalities be included in coming versions of MapBuilder?
Regards,
Panagiotis
