Feature Description

Tile conversion refers to the transformation of tile storage formats, supporting mutual conversion between original, compact, and MongoDB formats. This feature is commonly used to convert local original/compact tiles to MongoDB tiles, reducing local storage usage while facilitating data sharing.

Feature Entry

• Data tab -> Manage Tiles group -> Manage Tiles.

Steps

1. Add Tiles: Supports adding MongoDB tiles and local tiles. For detailed operations, refer to Add Tiles.
2. Click the Convert button in the Manage Tiles panel toolbar to open the Convert Storage Format dialog.

   • Storage Format: Displays the current storage format of selected tiles.
   • Tile Format: Shows the tile format of selected tiles.
   • Result Settings:
     • Storage Format: Set target storage format (Original/Compact/MongoDB). When selecting Original or Compact formats, specify target directory and tile name. For MongoDB format, configure server address, database name, tile name, username, and password.
     • Target Tile Directory: Set storage path for output tiles.
     • Target Tile Name: Specify name for converted tiles.
     • Server Address: Enter MongoDB server address.
     • Database Name: Input database name for storing map tiles.
     • Tile Name: Set name for map tiles.
     • Username/Password: Provide credentials if database requires authentication.
   • Enable Multithreading: Supports multithreaded conversion. Default thread count is determined by CPU cores: (cores ≤16: cores-1; cores >16: cores-2). Users can adjust based on system resources to improve performance.
4. After configuration, click OK to execute the format conversion.
