IBM TRIRIGA Application Platform Version 3.5.0

Integrating data with the TRIRIGA Connector for Esri Geographic Information System (GIS)

You can retrieve data from your IBM® TRIRIGA® database and data from an Esri ArcGIS server, and display that data in GIS maps. The GIS maps can be in portal sections and form tabs.

Overview of GIS maps
When you add maps to your IBM TRIRIGA portals and forms, users see data in graphic form, with features you customize to enhance their understanding of the data. To show maps in the IBM TRIRIGA application, you must create a GIS map record for each map, and you must specify the location of your GIS map server.
Overview of GIS map elements
When you define a new GIS map definition, you must configure the various map elements. Map elements include the extents, queries, basemaps, layers, icons, and widgets.
Configuring GIS maps
You use GIS map records to display GIS maps in your IBM TRIRIGA portals and forms. The GIS map record defines the connection between the IBM TRIRIGA application and the ArcGIS server that provides the Esri maps. The GIS map record contains the metadata that defines which maps, layers, and widgets to display.
Adding custom GIS portal sections
A GIS portal section points to an in-application web page that contains a GIS map. The GIS map is associated to a GIS map record that defines the data to render. A GIS portal section has a portal section type of External, where you specify the URL of the map.
Specifying ArcGIS servers
Your ArcGIS server can be an external online ArcGIS server or an internal hosted ArcGIS server. By default, EsriJS is configured for the online ArcGIS server. A resource file in the EsriJS ClassLoader record can specify that GIS maps are sourced from an internal hosted server.
Troubleshooting GIS maps
To help in resolving any performance or display issues with your GIS portal sections and form tabs, you can refer to the following issues, reasons, and remedies.
