Map Services Configuration

Once feature class aliases are established and imported into the geodatabase configuration, an agency must publish the maps it wishes to use. The Lucity Web Map and the Lucity Mobile application support both .mxd, and .msp map services. After the services are published, an administrator must configure Lucity to use the services.

How To Configure a Map Service

1. Collect map service information.

   For Arc 10

   1. Log into Arc Server Manager and click on Services > Manage Services.
   2. Locate the map service you wish to use.
   3. Click on the map service to view its properties.
   4. Go to the Capabilities tab.
   5. Copy down the URL found in the URL box, which should be similar to this: http://<server name>/ArcGIS/services/<service name>/MapServer
   6. Add rest/ to the URL. The result should look similar to this: http://<server name>/ArcGIS/rest/services/<service name>/MapServer
   7. Open a web browser and paste the URL (from Step f) into it and press Enter. A page containing the properties of the map service should appear.
   8. Scroll down and copy down the Spatial Reference number. (Do this only for the layer that contains Lucity data.)

      Note: If text appears in the Spatial Reference field, rather than a number, use the closest matching Spatial Reference Number from the following lists: Projected Coordinate Systems Geographic Coordinate Systems

   For Arc 10.x

   1. Log into Arc Server Manager and click on Services > Manage Services.

      

   2. Locate the map service you wish to use.
   3. Click on the map service to view its properties.
   4. Click on the Capabilities button.
   5. Copy down the REST URL, which should have a path similar to this: http://<server name>/ArcGIS/rest/services/<service name>/MapServer
   6. Click on the REST URL. A page containing the properties of the map service appears.
   7. Scroll down and copy down the Spatial Reference Number. (Do this only for the layer that contains Lucity data.)

      Note: If text appears in the Spatial Reference field, rather than numerals, use the closest matching Spatial Reference Number from the following lists: Projected Coordinate Systems Geographic Coordinate Systems

2. Open the Lucity Administration Tool and navigate to GIS > Map Services.

   

   1. Click Add Map Service...
   2. Enter the Name of the map service. This name is used to identify the service when it is added to a Lucity map, or viewed in one of the Lucity mapping products.
   3. In the URL field, enter the REST URL for the map service.

   4. In the Order field, enter a value to indicate the order in which the service should appear in relation to other layers. (Map services are layered based on this field. A lower number is a lower layer. Zero is the bottom layer.)

      Note: Lucity Mobile and Mobile Work Maps only query data out of the top-most layer. Therefore, make sure that the layer that contains Lucity assets has the highest number in the Order field.

   5. Check the Base Map? box if this layer is used as a base map.
      • More information about configuring base maps
   6. Check the Tiled? box if this layer is a tiled service.
   7. Complete other fields as desired.
   8. Click Save.
   9. Click Test if the map service contains Lucity features. The system will display a list of all feature classes that the map recognizes as being connected to Lucity.
3. After Steps 1 and 2 have been completed for all map services, go to the Lucity Administration Tool, and navigate to System > Settings > GIS Web tab.
   1. In the Operational Data Spatial Reference WKID field, enter the Spatial Reference number. [This topic was covered in Step 1.h (for Arc 10 setup) or Step 1.g (for Arc 10.x).]
      • The WKID that is used here must be the the WKID that the operational data is referenced against. Lucity uses this spatial reference to record x-y coordinates and any other spatial data.
   2. In the URL for Geocoding Service... field, provide the URL for what will be the default geocoding service used by the Web Map or Lucity Mobile application.
      • This URL can be identified using the same method used to identify it for map services in Step 1. Be sure to include the rest/ before the word services in the URL.
   3. Lucity strongly suggests that agencies use a geometry service. If an agency has a geometry service, it should provide the address in the URL for Geometry Service field. Be sure to include the rest/ before the word services in the URL.
   4. Click Save.
