Location Intelligence Module Support
Database
The Location Intelligence Module supports the following spatial databases for use with the spatial services, data, and resources:
- Oracle 11gR2, Oracle 12C
- SQL Server 2012, 2014, and 2016
- PostgreSQL 8+ (PostGIS 2.x)Note: Spectrum Spatial requires the PostGIS extension for PostGreSQL data source provider even if spatial capability will be not needed or used.
- GeoPackage (Windows and CentOS)
Data Format
The Location Intelligence Module supports the following data formats for use with the spatial services:
- Generic JDBC (with XY)
- TAB (native, native extended, raster, grid, seamless, DBF)
- ESRI shapefile
Raster Format
The following raster and grid formats (64-bit only) are supported in the Location Intelligence Module:
Raster formats:
Format | File Extension |
ADRG | .gen |
ASRP | .gen |
BMP | .bmp, .wbmp |
CADRG | .gen |
CIB | various |
ECW (SDK v5) | .ecw |
GeoTiff | .geotif |
GIF | .gif |
JPEG | .jpg/.jpeg |
MrSID (SDK v9) Note: Supports MG4 (MrSID Generation 4). On CentOS 7.1, libpng12.so is
required for reading MrSID rasters. |
.sid |
NITF | .ntf |
PNG | .png |
TIFF Note: TIFF files used by the Feature Service and Mapping Service cannot exceed
2GB. |
.tif |
Grid Formats
Format | File Extension |
Defense Digital Terrain Elevation Data (DTED) | .dt0, .dt1, .dt2, .dt3 |
MapInfo Grid | .mig |
MRR (Multi-Resolution Raster) Note: This support is provided on
Windows. Note: This support is provided on the following Linux environments:
|
.mrr |
Vertical Mapper Classified Grid | .grc |
Vertical Mapper Continuous Grid | .grd |
In order to use rasters and grids as a map layer, there must be an associated .TAB file containing georeference information about the image, including the bounds, coordinate system, and registration points.
Utilities
The Location Intelligence Module utilities (Tile Generator, WMTS Tile Generator, and the Geometry Validator) require at a minimum Java 8. If you are installing these utilities on the same computer where the Spectrumâ„¢ Technology Platform server is installed, Java 8 will be installed since it is included with the server. If you want to install the utilities on another computer, make sure that the computer has Java 8 or later installed.
Samples
The .NET samples require at a minimum Visual Studio 2013 and Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.
MapInfo Professional Compatibility
The Location Intelligence Module is compatible with MapInfo Professional up to version 16.x and 17.x. See Tools > MapInfo Pro in the Spectrum Spatial Getting Started Guide for more information about the interoperability of the two products.
Internet Explorer
To use Internet Explorer 11, uncheck Display intranet sites in Compatibility View in the Compatibility View settings.
WebDAV
When communicating to the server over HTTPS to map a drive to the repository, a WebDAV client is required to use the TLS v1.2 protocol.
For client machines running on Windows 7 SP1, Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, and Windows Server 2012, you must apply a security patch and registry update to leverage this protocol. For instructions, see the "Managing Security" chapter in the Administration section of the Spectrum Spatial Guide.
