URL

The URL property setting specifies the Tile Map Service (TMS) or Web Map Service (WMS) Uniform Resource Locator (URL) for the specific map. Until a valid URL is specified, the map chart visualization displays an error icon.

Property setting Description
URL
  • For the TMS layer, the URL must be in the format http://base/url/{z}/{x}/{y}.
    • {z} specifies zoom level.
    • {x} specifies the column number.
    • {y} specifies the row number.

    Example: http://a.tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png draws the OpenStreetMap map. See more examples at the TIBCO Community wiki article at GeoAnalytics Resources.

    Tip: You do not need to provide values for the three variables {z}/{x}/{y} for the map to work.
  • For the WMS layer, the URL must link to a valid XML structure and a server that supports WMS 1.1.1 or earlier service, and that uses WGS84 coordinate reference system (EPSG:3857 or EPSG: 4326). Some servers that host 1.3.0 maps are backward compatible to 1.1.1. Most WMS maps are designed for specific regions or countries. If you provide a URL that contains a map structure for another country or region, Spotfire Business Author displays an error.
