Configure the Map Production System app

Доступно с лицензией Defense Mapping.

You can reduce map production times with the self-serve Map Production System (MPS) web app to export map products. This app uses the Topographic Production Service that is deployed when you publish a map that contains feature data as a web layer. To take advantage of the app's functionality, the product data files for the ArcGIS Defense Mapping server extension are required. You'll need to copy the MPS app files from the product data files to the Portal for ArcGIS app location.

After the service is deployed, the web layer is published, and the product files are installed and copied to your server, you can configure the MPS app for use. To update the settings for an existing MPS web app of which you are the owner, you can do so by signing in to the app and clicking the profile icon.

The following list contains the steps necessary to configure the MPS app:

1. Configure your Enterprise portal for the MPS web app.
2. Create a web map in ArcGIS Pro.
3. Share the web map you create.
4. Create the web app.
5. Configure the MPS web app.

Configure your Enterprise portal for the MPS web app

   3. Click Save.
5. Click By adding themselves under How can people join this group?.

   You can leave the default choices for the remaining Group membership questions.

   Примечание:

   Starting at Enterprise 11.2, members of this group can cancel jobs that are processing and delete completed ones if the group's ID is added to the AdminGroupId property in the TMSProperty table. Ensure that the server is stopped while making changes to the table in ArcGIS Pro so that the changes are reflected when the server is restarted.

Create a web map in ArcGIS Pro

The MPS app uses a web map that you create in ArcGIS Pro. This map contains the area of interest (AOI) layers for the map products to be created using the MPS web app.

Complete the following steps to prepare the web map that the MPS app will use:

1. Start ArcGIS Pro.
2. Open an existing map project or create a new one.
3. Add the AOI layers for the map products that you want to create to the map.

   The ArcGIS Pro product data files include map product AOI layers that you can add.

4. On the Quick Access Toolbar, click Save Project .

The map is ready to be shared.

Share the web map

The web map with AOI layers must be shared to your Enterprise portal so that the MPS web app can access it. To do so, complete the following steps in ArcGIS Pro:

1. If necessary, start ArcGIS Pro and open the project that contains the web map that you want to share.
2. Ensure that you are signed in to the portal to which you want to share the web map and that you have publishing permissions.

   Sharing a web map to an Enterprise portal requires publishing permissions.

3. Click the Share tab.

   The Share As Web Map pane appears.

4. Provide a name, summary, and tags for the web map.

   Примечание:

   The maximum size for the app's logo is 400x400 pixels.

   The default logo can be found at C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Portal\apps\mps\images\mps_logo.svg and maintains a 1:1 aspect ratio when the width or height values are changed.

   If a custom logo is uploaded, it is saved on ArcGIS Enterprise in the app owner's root folder and is overwritten each time a custom logo is uploaded. The width and height values for a custom logo can be modified independently of each other.

   The following formats are supported:

   • PNG
   • JPG
   • JPEG
   • SVG
   • GIF
5. Optionally, click the Theme drop-down arrow to specify a preset theme for the app.

   If an SVG formatted logo exists locally, the chosen theme's colors are applied to it. Custom formatted logos uploaded through the app are not impacted by the chosen theme.

6. Check the Always require login check box to require users to sign in to the portal even if the services used by the app are shared publicly.
7. If you want to use basemaps from the associated portal, ensure that the Use portal-configured basemaps check box is checked.

   These basemaps are in a group that is configured as a basemap gallery.

    3. In the Extent section, specify the map's center coordinates.
    4. Specify a numerical string value in the Scale text box.

       This value determines the extent at which the app's map appears. For example, a value of 0 would open the map at its full extent, and a value of 5 would open the map at an extent equivalent to zooming in five times when using the zoom controls on the map.

    5. Click the Map Layers drop-down arrow and check the check boxes for the AOI grid layers that should be visible for the map product.

       Примечание:

       Checked layers are removed when you switch to the Export tab and their display order on the Map tab corresponds to their order in the map that was shared from ArcGIS Pro when the topographic service was published.

       Подсказка:

       If AOI layers that aren't supposed to be visible in the app appear on the app's map, review the web map in your ArcGIS organization's portal to ensure that the layers are not checked and that the web map is checked.
