Publish Local Tile

Feature Description

The Publish Local Tile feature enables direct publishing of local vector tiles and raster tiles as map services for web-based visualization and resource sharing. Before publishing tile services, ensure the iServer service is running locally or remotely.

Feature Entry

  • Online Tab -> Publish iServer Service Group -> Local Tiles.

Steps

  1. Start iServer service by running startup.bat/startup.sh in SuperMap iServer's bin directory.
  2. For first-time iServer setup, complete registration by accessing http://localhost:8090/iserver/ in browser. Follow instructions to create admin account, check system environment, configure license, and set up sample services.
  3. In Online Tab's Publish iServer Service group, click Local Tiles to open Publish Local Tile dialog.
  4. Enter iServer address for publishing service. Default shows last used address. First-time users should set server address, username and password via New Connection in Login SuperMap iServer dialog. Successful login addresses are auto-saved in history for future use.

    Server address supports custom formats including iServer installation directory paths (/webapps/iserver/[folder name]), and three formats:

    • localhost:8090
    • localhost:8090/iserver
    • localhost:8090/userdefine
    • http://localhost:8090
    • http://localhost:8090/iserver
    • http://localhost:8090/userdefine
    • https://localhost:8443
    • https://localhost:8443/iserver
    • https://localhost:8443/userdefine
      Note:

      Failed login may occur if iServer isn't running or credentials are incorrect. Verify connection information before retrying.

  5. Select config file (.sci) path under Tile Address. Default enables Upload Local Tile - unuploaded files may cause service unavailability if directory changes.
  6. Choose server type: REST Service, OGC Service, or Other Services. For details, see Introduction to Web Data Sources.
  7. Click Publish to open Confirm Selection dialog. Select required data information for upload to prevent exposing sensitive data.
    • For vector tiles: Choose whether to upload tiles and style files.
    • For raster tiles: Choose whether to upload tile data.
  8. Click OK to complete publishing. View published data by clicking server address in Output Window.
