Connect GIS Object to IFS Business Object
Explanation
This activity is used to connect GIS object and IFS business object. You
can right mouse click on a GIS object on GIS Map
page and click Link Object to search for the business object
and then connect it to the GIS object. A connection
can be made on GIS objects where edit access is enabled. GIS objects where only
read access is enabled could not be connected against an IFS business object.
Also the basemap map cannot be connected. It is possible to connect the same
IFS business object to many GIS objects.
Prerequisites
The following must be fullfilled:
- A field that allows the value for IFS ID to be saved on the layer in
ArcGIS must exist. The default name for the field is IFSID, but it
is possible to have a different name. The field name is controlled by a
setting in Map Services/Basic Data/GIS Settings
page. The name of the setting is IFS_ID_FIELD_NAME:
Define GIS Settings.
- Edit capabilities should have been enabled on the layer's feature service.
Edit capabilities for a feature service are configured outside IFS Cloud.
On an internal ArcGIS server, the edit capabilities can be toggled on/off
in ArcGIS Server Manager. The similar settings are found in the layers service
page on ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Portal. Consult ArcGIS online documentation
for more details about how to control these settings.
- The map service must have been added in proxy configuration. The proxy
configuration is controlled by a setting in Map Services/Basic
Data/GIS Settings page. The name of the setting is
PROXY_CONFIGURATION Define
GIS Settings. Information about how to add a map service in the proxy
is also described in
GIS Concepts.
- GIS object's layer should have been defined as Editable in
GIS Layer Mapping page.
- Layer should have been made available for the user in GIS Layer
Group page.
System Effects
A connection between GIS object and IFS business object is created:
- A unique IFS ID value is added on the GIS object in ArcGIS.
- A connection line is created in GIS Connections
page.
