Administrative and login settings
Esri Maps for MicroStrategy requires an
ArcGIS subscription. This can be an ArcGIS Online organizational
subscription or an on-premise Portal for ArcGIS deployment. It is
assumed that the authentication method used to access the platform
has been properly configured by the ArcGISadministrator.
As the Esri Maps for MicroStrategyadministrator, you configure the application's settings file to
specify the login method used to trigger the appropriate
authentication method for your platform subscription. You also
specify the location of the ArcGIS platform and various user
options. For detailed information about login settings, see Configure login settings.
On Windows, the configuration file is located in:
<MicroStrategy plugin directory>\em4mstr\JavaScript\configuration\settings.js
On Linux, the configuration file is located in:
<MicroStrategy plugin directory>/em4mstr/JavaScript/configuration/settings.js
Login properties
The following properties are used to define various settings related to the login method. For more information, see Configure login settings.
- arcgisUrl— Points to the location of your ArcGIS Online organization or Portal for ArcGIS. This property value must be specified for Esri Maps for MicroStrategy to function properly. The value is a string that must be enclosed in quotation marks. For ArcGIS Online, the default value is http://www.arcgis.com. To enter a different value, you must use the format http://[OrgAccount].maps.arcgis.com, where [OrgAccount] is the root of your organization's ArcGIS Online organizational account. For Portal for ArcGIS, the format is http://[PortalHost]/[PortalApp].
For example:
arcgisUrl: “http://www.lacs.maps.arcgis.com�
OR
arcgisUrl: “http://portalhost.esri.com/gis�
- arcgisAuthType— Specifies the login method used to access ArcGIS. This property value is a string that must be enclosed in quotation marks.
Available values are:
- app— The application login method uses a single account to access all ArcGIS items. If this authentication type is specified, the arcgisAppUser and arcgisAppPassword properties must also be specified.
- arcgisAppUser— When the login type (arcgisAuthType) is set
to app, this property specifies the user name used to retrieve an authentication token, which in turn is used to retrieve ArcGIS items. This property value is a string that must be enclosed
in quotation marks. If the login method is set to user, this
property is ignored.
For example: arcgisAppUser: "Test User"
- arcgisAppPassword— When the login type (arcgisAuthType) is set
to app, this property specifies the password used to retrieve an authentication token, which in turn is used to retrieve ArcGIS items. This property value is a string that must be enclosed
in quotation marks. If the login method is set to user, this
property is ignored.
For example: arcgisAppPassword: "Test 123"
- arcgisAppId— This property is used only when the user login method is specified for ArcGIS Online. The
value must specify a unique application ID generated when you
register your application with the ArcGIS platform. This property
value is a string that must be enclosed in quotation
marks.
For example: arcgisAppID:
"nvgHDDFXzMRWmKfY"
For details, see Generate an application ID.
Administrative settings
The following properties are used to define user options.
- keepAliveInterval— Specifies the interval between checks for user interaction to keep the current session active.
Esri repeats keep-alive transmissions checking for user interaction. If no response is received, the application continues to send keep-alive transmissions at the specified interval, to verify that idle connections are still active. This property value is specified in milliseconds; the default is 60000.
For example: keepAliveInterval:
60000
- arcgisSharing— Controls whether web maps and layers can be
shared with ArcGIS (as specified by acrgisUrl). Acceptable values
are true and false; the default is false. This is a Boolean
property value and does not require quotation marks.
For example: arcgisSharing:
false
- selectionColor— Specifies the color to use for areas that define a selection on the map. Colors are defined using hexadecimal values; the default value is #FF0000 (red). This property value is a string that must be enclosed in quotation marks.
- incFetchSize— Specifies the number rows that are returned for each data request made for any data set that is drawn in a map-enabled document. This setting helps control the size of requests made to the Esri Maps for MicroStrategy Intellegence server, which assists administrators in managing database calls.
For example: incFetchSize: 1000
- currencySymbol— Specifies the currency code corresponding to the currency symbol to be used on the map by default.
For example, currencySymbol:"USD"
Esri Maps for MicroStrategy supports the following currency symbols:
- USD: $
- GBP: £
- EUR: €
- JPY: ¥
