Providers
All of the GIS functionality in Infor Public Sector uses
providers to connect to the GIS data source. To set up providers you’ll use the
MapDrawerProviders configuration.
Each provider specifies the connection settings for the GIS, such as the URLs of the map service and the geometry service, as well as other attributes. There are two general types of providers that you can configure, one using SOAP map services to communicate with the GIS and the other using REST map services.
To add a SOAP provider, you add a node to the MapDrawerProviders configuration and fill in the necessary attributes.
To add a REST provider, you start with an existing SOAP provider and then upgrade to REST. This opts in to using the REST services and also fills in additional configuration settings.
