8 What s new in Geospatial Portal 15.0 EP02? What s new in Geospatial Portal 15.0 EP02? Possibility to disable the long data processing confirmation window while performing the attribute analysis In Geospatial Portal (and WebMap Publisher Portal) when performing an attribute type analysis (or predefined queries in WebMap Publisher Portal layout) users can get the values from the service by clicking the [...] button. By default the message info dialog appears with a warning that processing may take longer for large datasets and for some datasets it may not give all the possible values. This dialog can be disabled by the administrator if required. To disable/enable the confirmation window about processing large datasets: 1. Edit Web.config file for your Geospatial Portal (or WebMap Publisher Portal). 2. Go to the <webclient> section. 3. In the <queries> subsection for the parameter displaylongprocessingconfirmation set value to false in order to disable the confirmation window. OR In the <queries> subsection for the parameter displaylongprocessingconfirmation set value to true in order to disable the confirmation window. 4. Save the Web.config file. October 31,

9 What s new in Geospatial Portal 15.0 EP02? Geospatial Portal instance authorized by Windows Authentication Geospatial Portal instance can be configured to work with Windows Authentication enabled. This setting is set individually for particular Geospatial Portal instance in the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager and in instance Web.config file. To enable Windows Authentication for Geospatial Portal instance: 1. Log in to the server where the Geospatial Portal instance you want to secure is delivered. 2. Open Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager. 3. In the Connections section (on the left) unfold the Sites Default Web Site node and localize and select your Geospatial Portal instance application. 4. Under the IIS part click on the Authentication. The Authentication section opens 5. Disable Anonymous Authentication and Forms Authentication. 6. Enable Windows Authentication and Basic Authentication. 7. Go to Authorization Rules (for your Geospatial Portal instance). 8. Ensure that the rule "Allow" for "All users" is present, if not add that rule. 9. Close the Internet Information (IIS) Manager 10. Open the Web.config file for your Geospatial Portal instance in any text editor. The Web.config file by default is located in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Hexagon\Services\Instances\<Instance_name> folder. 11. Edit Geospatial Portal Web.config file. October 31,

10 What s new in Geospatial Portal 15.0 EP02? 12. Ensure that the following section in the <configuration> section ( under <system.web> ) is present. If not add this to the Web.config <location path="adminservice"> <system.web> <authorization> <allow users="*" /> </authorization> </system.web> </location> 13. Ensure that the following entry in the <modules> section within <system.webserver> is present: <add name="requesttokenvalidation" type="intergraph.websolution.core.webclient.authorization.requestauth orization, Intergraph.WebSolution.Core.WebClient.Authorization" /> 14. Ensure that the following entry is not present, otherwise remove this from the Web.config file (even if commented): <!-- <adminserviceconfiguration> --> <!-- <usercredentials username="username" password="password" /> --> <!-- </adminserviceconfiguration> --> 15. Save the Web.config file. CAUTION If access to the.net Authorization Rules for "All Users" is denied the printing functionality may not work properly. In such a case the access to the.net Authorization Rules must be enabled for IIS_IUSRS (server user). October 31,

11 What s new in Geospatial Portal 15.0 EP02? Measurements are printable Since now with Geospatial Portal 15.0 EP02 all the measurements visible in the map window will also appear in the print. This applies to maps displayed in 2D mode since the printing functionality is not supported in 3D view. No restriction for changing WMS style Users working with Geospatial Portal 15.0 with patch EP02 applied now can change without any restrictions the display style for all layers with spatial data served by WMS that comes from GeoMedia WebMap 15.0 EP02. In case the WMS is served by GeoMedia WebMap without the EP02 patch applied or it is third party service the change of the display style for more than one layer may be impossible. Removed restrictions for supported Coordinate Systems for Consumer Portal Layout Along with Geospatial Portal 15.0 EP02 patch the restrictions in supporting Coordinate Systems for Consumer Portal layout were abolished. Now maps prepared in other coordinate systems than EPSG: 3857 or EPSG: 4326 can also be displayed in Consumer Portal layout. October 31,

12 What s new in Geospatial Portal 15.0 EP04? What s new in Geospatial Portal 15.0 EP04? New Quirk limitbymaprange The section <quirksmode> in the Web.Config file for Geospatial Portal contains several fixes for OGC services that are not published according to the specification, but which require custom configuration in order to operate in the portal. Custom rules called quirks are provided for different types of services, and they enable the bypassing of the imperfection of services. New service quirk limitbymaprange comes with 15.0 EP04 patch. This quirk allows to change default value ("true") of WFS layer display mode (limited by map range). When the value for this quirk is set to false the default map range limitation for displayed WFS features is ignored. Ability to change the locatability of WMTS layers WMTS locatability switcher is added in Geospatial Portal. Now user can determine whether a WMTS map object layer can be located with the select tool or not. Individual display of the WMPS thematic legend entries It is now possible to switch on or off individual sub-entries within a thematic legend entry. This feature is available in Geospatial Portal only when working with WMPS service supporting individual thematic legend entries display. October 31,

13 What s new in Geospatial Portal 15.0 EP04? Thematic classes are visible on printed output. When printing maps all entries and sub-entries of thematic legend are now visible on printed output. Kannada, Thai, Vietnamese Language Supported Geospatial Portal is a multilingual application and comes localized to a variety of languages out-of-the-box. The Geospatial Portal continues to enhance its rich set of languages and now supports Kannada, Thai and Vietnamese in addition. Hostname Configuration Hostname aliases configuration is a new functionality, which allows to change Website name to a specified alias. This hostname alias must be a resolvable name (for example: by mapping to an appropriate name in hosts file, located in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\). This configuration enable to set domain name and port. After setting a hostname alias for specific Website, all services contained in that Website will have paths with configured hostname alias. In the requested (e.g. WMS) GetCapabilities document occurs substitution of all names in existing paths of the server to hostname alias which set in the server configuration. To configure and enable hostname alias for specific website: 1. Run Administration Console 2. Go to the HOSTNAME ALIASES section (click the Hostname aliases link under the Server Configuration box on the left navigation pane). 3. In the HOSTNAME ALIASES section all available Websites on the server are shown. Here you can define the hostname alias and port. In order to edit selected Website enable the checkbox for the appropriate Website, next provide Hostname alias and Hostname alias port. October 31,

15 What s new in Geospatial Portal 15.0 EP05? What s new in Geospatial Portal 15.0 EP05? WebGL support for 3D Apart from the traditional 2D map display available in Geospatial Portal, there is also a possibility to view data in 3D. Geospatial Portal displays a base map on a three dimensional globe and renders other supported data sources where appropriate. Since (EP05), Geospatial Portal leverages the native support for WebGL in selected browsers. Using WebGL is by default the preferred approach. The ERDAS ECWP and 3D Plugin can be used in browsers which still support 3rd party add-ons. The preferred technology used for rendering 3D scenes (WebGL vs the plugin) can be configured using the Administration Console: 1. Run the Administration Console. 2. Click the Instance List and click Configure for selected Geospatial Portal instance. 3. Click the Appearance tab. 4. Select the option Enable ERDAS ECWP and 3D Plugin when browser supports it (disabled by default). Now the ERDAS ECWP and 3D Plugin will be used for 3D display when the client environment contains the latest version of the ERDAS ECWP and 3D Plugin (see the Supported Environments document for details on browser support for the plugin). If the plugin is not installed or not supported by the browser, WebGL will be used if available. NOTE: You can also control this setting in the Web.config file for example when the Administration Console is unavailable for some reasons. To do this use the forcewebgl parameter in <WebClient> section. Be aware that the options set in Administration Console are superior. October 31,

16 What s new in Geospatial Portal 15.0 EP05? In order to display 3D data (3D Map Tiles and/or 3D Objects) in Geospatial Portal using the WebGL technology the 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' HTTP Response Header must be set for these services. Be aware that 3D Map Tiles and 3D Objects not having the above mentioned response header can be displayed only using the ERDAS APOLLO ECWP & 3D plugin. It is also recommended to set the 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' HTTP Response Header for services such as WMS, WMTS, WFS, WMPS. This may result in better response performance when displaying data from those services in 3D view, using WebGL technology. October 31,

17 What s new in Geospatial Portal 15.0 EP05? Changed method of presentation of LUWS service search results When several LUWS or OpenLS services are registered in your Geospatial Portal workspace, the search action is performed against all of them unless selected otherwise. Before: The original behavior was that the results from several search providers were displayed across different pages without taking account scoring between them. The page order was directly related to the order in which search providers like LUWS or OpenLS were initially registered in your Geospatial Portal workspace. Thus the first registered service's results were placed on the first page, while the service registered last had its results displayed on the last page. Search results display could be controlled through the appropriate web.config sections using the following settings: The maximum result number could be configured using Intergraph.WebSolutions.Core.SDIPortal.OpenLS.Service.IntergraphLUWS.MaxResultsCount in Web.config under appsettings section. Search results from only one dataset per service were taken into consideration (even if more datasets were available). The Intergraph.WebSolutions.Core.SDIPortal.OpenLS.Service.IntergraphLUWS.DatasetName configuration option allowed to change the dataset used by a service. From EP05 onward: Results retrieved from all registered search providers are concatenated and then sorted according to their respective match score. This is done regardless of the number of search services connected and the number of datasets served by them. The search results display configuration settings available prior to the EP05 patch are now obsolete and replaced with the following settings in the appropriate web.config sections: In order to change minimum candidate score for LUWS: 1. Edit the Web.Config file for Geospatial Portal. 2. In section <webclient>, subsection <search> for attribute minimumcandidatescore provide the number for minimum score value to present result. In order to set number of features returned by LUWS: 1. Edit the Web.Config file for Geospatial Portal instance. 2. In section <webclient>, subsection <search> for attribute maxresults provide the number for maximum search results that will be presented Geospatial Portal search list. By default, the value for maxresults is set to 20. Selecting services used for search: By default each service (LUWS or OpenLS or WFS-G) after registration is automatically selected to be used for search action, although user can decide which connected services will be used. October 31,

18 What s new in Geospatial Portal 15.0 EP05? In order to choose services used for search: 1. Click the Search tab on the toolbar. 2. Next to search field click the down arrow. The list of all available services used for search is displayed. 3. Only services with selected checkboxes are used for search. Select/deselect given service checkbox. October 31,

19 What s new in Geospatial Portal 15.0 EP05? New quirk allowing adding features to ERDAS APOLLO WFS Transactional services. Adding features to an ERDAS APOLLO WFS-T requires a service quirk to be set for each of the services used (possibly through urlpattern matching). In order to enable the quirk for particular ERDAS APOLLO services: 1. Edit Web.config file for Geospatial Portal. 2. Go to the <quirksmode> section. 3. In <servicequirk> entry for WFS set the following: forcemulticurve="true" It enables the possibility of adding curve geometry. This setting causes that the curve type geometry is wrapped into multicurve geometry, what is required by ERDAS APOLLO services. forcemultisurface="true" Use this parameter to enable the ability to add surface geometry. This setting causes the surface type geometry being wrapped into multisurface, what is required by ERDAS APOLLO services. Sample: <servicequirk servicetype="wfs" urlpattern="erdas-apollo" forcemulticurve="true" forcemultisurface="true"> </servicequirk> New Translations for Administration Console Administration Console is now also available in: Dutch (nl), Malay (ms), Polish (pl), Portuguese (pt), Thai (th) and Vietnamese (vi) languages. October 31,

20 What s new in Geospatial Portal 15.0 EP05? Tilted Google Map View in Geospatial Portal Google Maps provides 45 perspective imagery at high zoom levels (where available) for Satellite and Hybrid map types. Viewing "Satellite" or "Hybrid" Google Map type in Geospatial Portal the perspective view is set automatically if you zoom into a location for which such imagery exists. The satellite or hybrid imagery will be replaced with 45 perspective imagery centered on the current location. By default, such views will orient towards north. If you zoom out, you will return to viewing the default satellite or hybrid imagery. When the perspective imagery is being displayed, depending on the specific map content configuration, other layers might not match up with Google Maps as the base map. To mitigate you might want to disable the switching between satellite/hybrid and perspective imagery. In order to disable/enable the tilt option: 1. Edit Web.config file for Geospatial Portal. 2. Go to the <webclient> section. 3. Set the "true" value for the parameter tiltdisabled to disable the tilt option <GoogleMaps enabled="true" apikey="" tiltdisabled="true"/> OR Set the "false" value for the parameter tiltdisabled to enable the tilt option. <GoogleMaps enabled="true" apikey="" tiltdisabled="false"/> 4. Save changes in Web.config file and reload the Geospatial Portal. tiltdisabled="true" tiltdisabled="false" October 31,

21 What s new in Geospatial Portal 15.0 EP05? First Person Perspective Geospatial Portal s 3D view now offers a first person perspective mode. To enable first person perspective in Geospatial Portal: 1. Switch to 3D view mode. 2. Click 3D View Settings tab in the sidebar. 3. Toggle the First person perspective button in the View mode option group 4. Click on the map. The first person perspective view is enabled from the view point you selected. Click the place on the screen you want to go. 5. To exit from first person perspective view mode toggle the First person perspective button again. This feature does not require any additional configuration and is available out of the box. October 31,

22 What s new in Geospatial Portal 15.0 EP05? Underground Features Transparency Now users of the Geospatial Portal while viewing the 3D data (3D objects) can easily set the visibility of underground objects. You can seamlessly adjust the visibility range from completely visible to completely invisible for underground objects. To adjust the visibility of underground object in rendered 3D scene: 1. Switch to 3D view mode. 2. Click 3D View Settings tab in the sidebar. 3. In the Objects & Features option group adjust the visibility using the Underground objects transparency slider. Slider set to 100% means that the underground object is invisible, slider set to 0% means that the underground objects (or part of objects that are under the ground level) are fully visible. Note: There is no possibility to set the underground objects transparency for 3D Objects combined with 3D Map tiles that forms one layer. This feature works only with standalone 3D Objects (objects displayed in separate layer). This feature is also available in Consumer Portal Layout in 3D mode. To adjust the visibility of underground object in 3D scene displayed in Consumer Portal: 1. Click 3D View Settings tab in the sidebar. 2. In the Objects & Features option group adjust the visibility using the Underground objects transparency slider. Slider set to 100% means that the underground object is invisible, slider set to 0% means that the underground objects (or part of objects that are under the ground level) are fully visible. Note: 3D View Settings tab is unavailable in Consumer Portal Layout run in 2D mode. October 31,

23 What s new in Geospatial Portal 15.0 EP06? Shadows in Consumer Portal Layout With the objects being displayed in the Consumer Portal in 3D mode, you can see how the shadows cast by objects at a given latitude and longitude are changing during the day and seasons. In order to enable and view the shadows for 3D object: 1. Click to open 3D View Settings tab on the sidebar. 2. Ensure that the Enabled option is selected, if not enable it. 3. Ensure that the Shadow casting option is selected, if not enable it. 4. Use the sliders to specify the month, date and time. The sunlight and shadows will be adjusted immediately. 5. Select time zone (from Timezone pull down list) to which the specified date and time applies. 6. Check the Position tracking option if you want the time zone to be calculated and automatically adjusted based on the current position on the map (since it only uses the longitude of the center of the map view, this may not result in the true official time zone for a given region). What s new in Geospatial Portal 15.0 EP06? WMS Get URL Length Limit It is possible to change the maximum length of an URL that Geospatial Portal sends to the WMS when requesting the data using GET method. In the Geospatial Portal, the length of WMS GET request (does not apply to POST requests) can be changed using the wmsurllengthlimit parameter. The parameter wmsurllengthlimit is available in <WMSDisplaying> element of portal's Web.config file. Default value is set to 2000 (as some browsers may not handle longer requests) and the possible range is 2000 : If SLD_BODY attribute is added to the WMS request and (because of it) length of URL is greater than set in parameter wmsurllengthlimit, then this SLD_BODY is extracted and shorter URL is sent to WMS server. In such case layer(s) will be displayed in a "default" style. The WMS must be tailored to support increased ULR length it can receive. To Configure WMS on the GeoMedia WebMap server side to increase length of URL it can receive: 1. Open Registry Editor on the WMS service host machine. 2. Go to the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP\Parameters 3. Add new registry values: "MaxFieldLength"=dword:0000fffe "MaxRequestBytes"=dword: To add new registry values: a. From Registry Editor menu click Edit > New >DWORD (32-bit) Value b. Close Registry Editor. 4. Edit Web.config file for WMS service instance. 5. Change or insert the keys like below: <system.web> <httpruntime maxurllength="65535" maxquerystringlength=" " /> </system.web> <system.webserver> October 31,

24 What s new in Geospatial Portal 15.0 EP06? <security> <requestfiltering> <requestlimits maxurl="65535" maxquerystring="65535" maxallowedcontentlength=" "> <headerlimits><add header="content-type" sizelimit="65535" /></headerlimits> </requestlimits> </requestfiltering> </security> All these allows the portal to send a GET request of specified length although the POST method is recommended. Square Buffer in Clip-Zip-Ship When performing the clip-zip-ship operations in Geospatial Portal the part of an image that is to be processed can be specified by drawn geometry or other features selected on the map. For those two methods - Draw on the map and Select feature from the map - the buffer can be set for point geometry. Now it can be either a Circle or Square buffer around the selected point. The Value field defines a radius for a circle buffer or a width/height value for a square buffer, For example, a buffer value of 2km for a selected point location will result in either a 4km diameter circle or a 2x2km square, depending on the buffer type selected. Default type of buffer for point geometries is Circle (round) but this can changed in the portal Web.config file. To change default buffer type: 1. Edit Web.config file for Geospatial Portal. 2. Go to the <webclient> section. 3. Type the "square" value for the parameter buffertype to set the square buffer as a default buffer type in portal. <clipzipship buffertype="square" /> OR Type the "round" value for the parameter buffertype to set the circle buffer as a default buffer type. <clipzipship buffertype="round" /> October 31,

25 What s new in Geospatial Portal 15.0 EP06? 4. Save changes in Web.config file and reload the Geospatial Portal. The Clip-Zip-Ship functionality is available in Apollo.aspx and ApolloPro.aspx layouts. Imperial Feet Units in Scale Bar or Measurements When imperial system of measurement is applied in Geospatial Portal, the feet units can be used. The enabledunits parameter in Geospatial Portal Web.config file indicates what units should be available when doing measurements. Measurements will use available unit in which values can be expressed as greater than 1. Now available units are: "m, km, ft, yd, mi, m2, km2, ft2, yd2, mi2, are, ha, acre". Base units that cannot be disabled are m, m2 and yd, yd2 for metric and imperial unit system respectively. If units ft, ft2 are defined they are used instead of yd, yd2. Yards are used as default (for imperial units) and can be overwritten by feet. Sample where ft and ft2 units are defined instead of yd an yd2: <ui dblclicktimeout="400" settingsrequireconfirmation="false" systemofmeasurement="imperial" enabledunits="m, km, ft, mi, m2, km2, ft2, mi2, are, ha, acre"> Improvements on Printing Service in Geospatial Portal The mechanism for calculating tile ranges of the map view range was improved so now map printouts requested at different DPI maintain aspect ratio and map scale. True map scale is always displayed on the printout. The print quality was also improved. Graphic Style Supported in 3D View Now Geospatial Portal supports graphic style for point features in both: 3D and 2D view mode. This feature enhancement doesn t require any configuration on the portal s server side. Adjustable Double Click Timeout in Geospatial Portal Closing poly features created by selection, measurement or feature editing tools in Geospatial Portal requires a very fast double click. Since some users are not physically capable of ending a feature due to this quick timeout the ability of double click timeout adjustment was introduced within EP05 patch. To change the double click timeout: 1. Edit Web.config file for Geospatial Portal. 2. Go to the <webclient> section. 3. In <ui> sub section provide the double click timeout value for dblclicktimeout parameter. The timeout value is maximum time between two mouse clicks to detect double click in milliseconds. The default value is set to 400 milliseconds. 4. Save changes in Web.config file and reload the Geospatial Portal. Sample where double click timeout is set to 800 milliseconds: <ui dblclicktimeout="800" settingsrequireconfirmation="false" systemofmeasurement="imperial" enabledunits="m, km, ft, mi, m2, km2, ft2, mi2, are, ha, acre"> October 31,

26 What s new in Geospatial Portal 15.0 EP06? Improved Measurement Accuracy for Geographic Coordinate Systems The accuracy of measurements in Geospatial Portal has been improved in order to take into account the curvature of the globe. The calculations for area and length has been corrected, so any discrepancies between the measured area or line and the circumference of the drawn polygon, especially in Geographic SRSs are now minimal. Experimental 3D View Support for MS Edge Web Browser By default the 3D display in Geospatial Portal is not supported and disabled for MS Edge Web browser however, with patch EP06, there is the possibility to enable the experimental 3D mode for MS Edge. In order to enable 3D view for MS Edge: 1. Edit Web.config file for Geospatial Portal. 2. Go to the <webclient> section. 3. In <settings3d> subsection set the "true" value for the parameter enableinedge <settings3d enableinedge="true"> 4. Save changes in Web.config file and reload the Geospatial Portal. Since MS Edge does not fully support WebGL, the 3D view may be unstable. Secured Services can be accessed through ERDAS APOLLO Browse Now ERDAS APOLLO users can add to the legend data from secured service through a browse of the ERDAS APOLLO catalogue control. When adding secured data to the legend users will be prompted to enter username and password if required. October 31,
