PTV Group - Logistics Forum

We started today using XSERVER 1.18.1.0.

We used to display the city codes in the map.
in the former version wie used this ini file roadattribues.ini, where we added following section

[config.town.symbols]
showpostcode=true

we´re using the default profile and we edited all ini files and we created the render.ini - unfortunately this didn´t work out.

do we have do add something else?
any ideas / tips?
thx

Hello Fuema,

this feature also works in the latest version. I guess the cause for the trouble is the missing link between the used request profile (xmap-default.properties or the profile requested by the CallerContext):

within the properties file there is a key=value that refers to the INI-File. By default this value is empty in the xmap-default.properties:

# The map profile contains visualization parameters such as colors etc.
# If empty the engine's default is used
#
map.profile=

Let's compare it with the xmap-combinedtransports.properties file:

# The map profile contains visualization parameters such as colors etc.
# If empty the engine's default is used
#
map.profile=combinedtransports.ini

And this ini-file has to contain the switch that enables the visualization of the zip codes.
But: another potential cause is the scale as you can see on the following image:
The town label does not represent a postcode area but the whole town!

Quite sure that this helps,

Bernd

Thank you Bernd ! it was the missing link in the default.properties !

do you have an best practice to set in such ini files?
thx

What do you mean by "practice to set in such ini files"?

Sorry for the really long delay ... i meant do you have a basic installation or guide how to set up the xserver for a haulier with a 40t fast truck?

Hello Markus,

sounds more like an xRoute question, isn't it ?

Please check http://127.0.0.1:50030/pages/configurator.html on the running xRouteServer.
Look at the profiles:

This page should display several available reference profiles: To activate such a profile use the CallerContext / CallerContextProfile with key="Profile".

Best regards
Bernd
