Setup and Configure WebMap

1. Ensure WebMap 9.1.2340 (or later) is installed and running.
2. Ensure WebMap is licensed specifically to display the Power BI visual. To check this, confirm if your licence file contains this parameter- GeognoSIS|Webmap|Add|PBI.
   • To add this parameter manually, open the WebMap licence file (found in C:\Cadcorp\Services\Cadcorp.Licence.Service\LicenceFiles) in a suitable editor and type in the above string. Click Save.
   • WebMap will check and validate this feature through Licenced Features
     

     

   • The PowerBI licence parameter is already included by default (WebMap 9.1.2385 onwards). To manually include it for validation, click Add.
   • Restart the Cadcorp Licence Service.
3. Remember to flush the WebMap Manager cache. WebMap uses a cache to store config data- occasionally the cache can get "stale" with obsolete data and may need clearing out. Use Site Settings > Flush Cache to clean and reset.
   
4. Reload the Power BI project or refresh the visual.
5. Ensure the map you need has security disabled and is accessible to Power BI users. To do this, in WebMap > Map Settings, enable both Allow Anonymous Access *and* Allow Map as Embedded.
   
6. Ensure the correct CORS settings are defined. If in doubt, use the Allow all CORS option for testing purposes.
   
7. Ensure the Coordinate Reference System (CRS) used in the map matches the coordinates contained within your data source.
8. The Service URL for WebMap is the root URL of the WebMap site - e.g. https://mapping/SISWebMap9.1. If you intend to publish your report publicly, ensure the WebMap instance you are using is also publicly accessible.
9. Enable HTTPS on the WebMap server.
10. Configure the Map Name using the WebMap Manager Interface; this can include base mapping and business layers. Use different maps to provide user-defined cartographic content.
