Setup and Configure WebMap

  1. Ensure WebMap 9.1(v2340 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 feature- GeognoSIS|Webmap|Add|PBI.
    • To add this feature manually, open the WebMap licence file in a suitable editor and type in the above string. Click Save.
    • The licence file can be found in C:\Cadcorp\Services\Cadcorp.Licence.Service\LicenceFiles
    • Restart the Cadcorp Licence Service.
    • Remember to flush the WebMap Manager cache
    • Reload the Power BI project or refresh the visual.
  3. Ensure WebMap is serving an embedded map and is accessible to Power BI users.
  4. Ensure the Coordinate Reference System (CRS) used matches the coordinates contained within your data source.
  5. 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.
  6. Enable HTTPS on the WebMap server.
  7. 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.
  8. Ensure Allow Embedded Map (see above) is enabled. Ensure correct CORS settings are defined. If in doubt, use the Allow all CORS option for testing purposes.
