Custom map style compatibility between xServer1 and 2

[CAPcargo]

Greetings,

A long time ago someone created a customer map style for the map and now we're interested in reusing this map style for xServer2, is it possible to port this or should it be created again from scratch? Which tool should be used for this.

Best regards,
Damjan

Hello Damjan,

the native rendering parameters are stored ina an ini-file (e.g. "tarender.ini") which is supposed to be stored in the /conf/profiles subfolder. You can then refer to the ini file through the server's stored profile

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<profile version="2" dataCompatibilityVersion="2" parent="featurelayer/fl_*" 
 useCases="rendering" displayName="tarender.ini">
    <description>This profile contains Bernd Welters special tarender style.</description>
</profile>

The profiles will be offered in the mapping showcases, too:

My showcases

And you can gather the description via the xServer2.getServerConfiguration API:

Best regards,
Bernd

When playing with custome render files ensure to consider the stable rendering of labels...
