Set up OSM Vector Basemaps (existing user)

Follow the workflows below to update OSM Vector Basemaps in WMA for ArcGIS Data Appliance 2024.

Note:

To use OSM Vector Basemaps in the GCS format, complete the steps using the information for GCS.

To use OSM Vector Basemaps: Basic (WMA) included with the World Basic (WB) product option, complete the steps using the information for WB.

For information about what's included with OSM Vector Basemaps, see OSM Vector Basemaps content and What's new.

You'll use the following workflow to update OSM Vector Basemaps:

  1. Upload the package to your ArcGIS Enterprise portal
  2. Publish the new hosted tile layer (service)
    Note:

    The title of the new hosted tile layer must be different than the title of the existing hosted tile layer (for example, the name of the new layer is OSM_Vector_Basemap_DA2024_v2).

  3. Replace the existing hosted tile layer (service) with the new hosted tile layer
  4. Update existing tile layers (map styles)
  5. Publish new tile layers (map styles)
  6. Share tile layers (map styles)

Upload the package to your ArcGIS Enterprise portal

First, you need to copy the entire USB flash drive contents to your local computer if you have not already done so. Review the system requirements to confirm that you can deploy the OSM Vector Basemaps update.

  1. Start ArcGIS Pro, sign in to your ArcGIS Enterprise portal, click the Options button Options, and click Set As Active Portal.

    Set As Active Portal

    Note:

    You must sign in and connect to your portal before you proceed. You cannot enter your portal username and password when using the Share Package tool later in these instructions. The tool obtains your credentials from ArcGIS Pro.

  2. Create a project.
  3. Click the Analysis tab, and click Tools in the Geoprocessing group.

    Analysis tab with Tools option

    The Geoprocessing pane appears.

  4. In the Geoprocessing pane, search for Share Package, and select the Share Package (Data Management Tools) tool from the search results.

    Geoprocessing pane with Share Package search results

  5. On the Share Package dialog box, do the following:
    1. For Input Package, provide the path to the vector tile package, for example, C:\Projects\OSM_Vector_Basemaps_2024\VTPK\OSM_Vector_Basemap_DA2024_Install.vtpk.
    2. For Summary, type OSM Vector Basemap for Data Appliance 2024.
    3. For Tags, type 2024, v2.

    Caution:

    Do not change the Credits parameter value and do not check the Everybody or Within Organization check boxes for sharing.

    Share Package dialog box

  6. Click Run.

    It will take approximately 30 to 120 minutes to upload the package to your portal. A Share Package Uploaded Successfully message appears in the Share Package window once the upload is complete.

  7. Through your portal, confirm that the .vtpk file uploaded successfully.
    1. Open a web browser and sign in to your portal.

      The OSM_Vector_Basemap_DA2024_Install tile package is located in the root folder.

    2. Under Details, confirm that the Size value of the tile package matches the size for your vector tile package and Enterprise version in the following table and Shared with indicates that the item is not shared.

  8. Note:

    If the size is not correct, delete the item and upload the OSM_Vector_Basemap_DA2024_Install tile package again. You may want to discuss the problem with your portal administrator.

    For the OSM_Vector_Basemap_GCS_DA2024_Install tile package, if the size is not correct, delete the item and upload it again.

    For the OSM_Vector_Basemap_DAWB2024_Install.vtpk tile package (WMA), if the size is not correct, delete the item and upload it again.

    See the Troubleshooting OSM Vector Basemaps topic for more information.

Publish the new hosted tile layer (service)

Now you'll publish the new OSM Vector Basemaps hosted tile layer service from your portal.

  1. Sign in to your ArcGIS Enterprise portal.
    Note:
    Your account must have publishing credentials.
  2. In My Content, go to the item page for the vector tile package (OSM_Vector_Basemap_DA2024_Install.vtpk) you uploaded to your portal.
  3. Click Publish, change the title to OSM_Vector_Basemap_DA2024_v2, and click Publish again.

    Publish dialog box for .vtpk map item

    Note:

    For the GCS tile package, use the OSM_Vector_Basemap_GCS_DA2024_Install.vtpk file. Change the title to OSM_Vector_Basemap_GCS_DA2024_v2 for the hosted tile layer that is published.

    For the WB tile package, use the OSM_Vector_Basemap_DAWB2024_Install.vtpk file. Change the title to OSM_Vector_Basemap_DAWB2024_v2 for the hosted tile layer that is published.

    Note:

    It will take 30 to 120 minutes to create the hosted layer, depending on your system configuration.

    The OSM_Vector_Basemap_DA2024_v2 hosted tile layer is created.

Replace the existing hosted tile layer (service) with the new hosted tile layer (service)

Next, you'll replace the 2023 basemap hosted tile layer (service) with the 2024 hosted tile layer (service).

  1. Sign in to your ArcGIS Enterprise portal.
    Note:
    Your account must have publishing credentials.
  2. In My Content, go to the item page for the OSM_Vector_Basemap_v2 vector tile service.
  3. Click Replace Layer.

  4. Click Select, and select the new hosted tile layer that you just published, for example, OSM_Vector_Basemap_DA2024_v2.

  5. For Archive the current layer as, click the edit button and change the value to OSM_Vector_Basemap_DA2023_v2 and click Save. Then, scroll to Replace item information and click the toggle button.

    Archive layer with the edit tool and the Replace item information toggle button circled

  6. Click Next.
  7. On the Replace Layer summary, click Replace.
    Replace Layer summary with Replace circled

    Note:

    The current layer starts as DA2023. The replacement layer is DA2024. You are archiving the DA2023 hosted tile layer, and the current layer (OSM_Vector_Basemap_v2) now displays the DA2024 hosted tile layer. Replacing the tile set allows the item ID and URL paths to remain intact, so maps and apps continue to work with the current layer and display the new DA2024 basemap content.

    The Success message flashes briefly at the top of the screen.

  8. To verify a successful replacement, in My Content, go to the item page for the OSM_Vector_Basemap_v2 vector tile service.

    Your item should look like the following:

    Item page for OSM_Vector_Basemap_v2 vector tile service with title and Created from circled

    Note:

    The thumbnail is not replaced, but the summary is OSM Vector Basemap for Data Appliance 2024 and the Details section indicates it was created from the OSM_Vector_Basemap_DA2024_Install Vector Tile Package.

Update existing tile layers

Use the Vector Style Updater tool to update your existing layers.

  1. Open the DA2024_OSM_WMA_StyleUpdater_template.csv file located in the C:\Projects\OSM_Vector_Basemaps_2024\Toolbox folder.
    Note:

    For GCS, open the DA2024_OSM_GCS_StyleUpdater_template.csv file located in the C:\Projects\OSM_Vector_Basemaps_2024\Toolbox folder.

    For WB, open the DAWB2024_OSM_WMA_StyleUpdater_template.csv file located in the C:\Projects\OSMWB_Vector_Basemaps_2024\Toolbox folder.

    1. Include the item IDs of all your existing styles in the itemid column in this table. The item ID for each style can be obtained from the portal URL for each style. Only copy and paste the series of letters and numbers after ...id=.

      Portal URL with item ID number

    2. Once you fill in the itemid column, save the file and rename it DA2024_OSM_WMA_StyleUpdater.csv.

The two new vector tile layers (map styles) are created in your assigned ArcGIS Enterprise portal account. You can view the items in My Content. Sixteen items are listed: 12 vector tile layers (2 new plus 10 existing), both 2023 and 2024 .vtpk files, and the active and archived hosted tile layers.

Share tile layers (map styles)

The items initially created are private unless you made them public through the Publisher toolbox dialog box or by selecting the map items in your portal and changing the sharing settings.
