Publish Workspace

Feature Description

SuperMap iDesktopX publishes workspace data resources to a local or remote server by Publish Workspace functionality, enabling resource sharing via the web. Before publishing a workspace, make sure you have an admin account and SuperMap iServer is running locally or remotely.

Steps

  1. Start iServer service: By default, run the startup.bat/startup.sh under the bin directory of SuperMap iServer.
  2. Click Online tab -> Publish iSever Service group -> Workspace , pop up Publish Workspace dialog.
  3. Enter the iServer address of the publich service. Click the combo box drop-down button and select New Connection. Enter server address, user name and password of administrator account in the popup Login SuperMap iServer dialog box. After successful login, the program will automatically save the connected address, and you can select history to achieve quick login in subsequent logins. The service address supports entering a custom service address after the iServer installation directory/webapps/iserver folder name. It is compatible with three formats of iServer service addresses: localhost, http, and https. The format is as follows:
    Caution:

    If the iServer service is not started or the administrator account or password is incorrect, the user will not be able to log in normally. Please verify link information before logging in again.

    • 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
  4. Select the server type from REST services, OGC services, and Other services.
    • REST Service: REST, Representational State Transfer, is a style of software architecture. REST services include Data Service, Map Service, Spatial Analyst Service, 3D Service, 3D Network Service, and Transportation Analyst Service. Check the service box as needed.
      REST service type Supported operations on datasources and datasets
      Data Service
      • Get and modify datasource info, such as datasource name, description, projection, unit, distance unit, etc.
      • Get and edit dataset information, such as create, modify, or delete dataset.
      • Perform operations on spatial data in the dataset, including retrieving, modifying, adding, and deleting spatial data.
      • Operate the fields in the Dataset, including obtaining, modifying, adding, deleting fields, and statistical calculation.
      • Query features in the dataset.
      Map Service
      • Get maps, layers and related information.
      • Create, modify, and delete layers.
      • Get Hawkeye view.
      • Query and measure map, such as distance measure and area measure, and obtain the results.
      • Highlight the geometry objects.
      • Clear the map image cached by the server.
      Spatial Analyst Service
      • Perform Buffer Zone Analysis, Overlay Analysis, Surface Analysis (such as extracting isoline and isosurface), Proximity Analysis (such as generating Thiessen Polygon), Difference Analysis, Spatial Relationship Analysis and Linear Analysis on datasets.
      • Perform Buffer Zone Analysis, Overlay Analysis, Surface Analysis (such as extracting isoline and isosurface) and Proximity Analysis (such as generating Thiessen Polygon) on geometry objects.
      3D Service
      • Get layer list and related information in 3D Scene.
      • Acquire the description of a certain 3D layer in the 3D Scene, including name and type of the 3D layer, the path corresponding to the 3D Data, and the cache layer number of the used data.
      • Get 3D data and the data config file.
      • Obtain the index file and tile file of model tile data and the version of a certain tile file in 3D tile Data.
      Warning:

      Only scenes with loaded tile data can be published as services. If a scene with a dataset loaded in the workspace is published, the data in all scenes will become invisible. It is recommended to load tiled data in all scenes within the workspace.

    • OGC Service: OGC, Open Geospatial Consortium, is the industry leader in developing standards for geospatial and location services. The OGC Service supports the coordinate reference system of the data itself, including the user-defined coordinate reference system and the plane non-projected coordinate reference system. Both CS_WGS_1984(EPSG 4326) and PCS_WGS_1984_WORLD_MERCATOR(EPSG 3857) are supported. For more information about OGC Service, see: OGC Services.
    • Other services: including ArcGIS REST map services, Baidu REST map services, Google REST map services.
  5. Parameter settings section:
    • Check Editable to allow other users to edit the published data, such as creating dataset and modifying dataset name.
    • Check Upload Workspace. If not checked, the service will be unavailable when the local path of the workspace is changed.
  6. Click Publish button to pop up the Confirm Selection dialog box, which displays the data in the cache directory. Check the data to be uploaded.
Caution:

If the map contains tile data, you will be prompted when publishing: " There is a tile layer in the map. After publishing, the service browsing performance will be reduced. Do you want to continue publishing?"? Click Yes to continue the publish map services, or click No to cancel. After cancelling, you can remove the tile data and re-publish the service.
