The Oracle BI Presentation Services Administration page provides the Manage Map Data link. This link displays the Manage Map Data page, where you can manage the logical and display versions of the data from various physical data sources. This defines the layers that content designers use when creating map views. The data that is available for managing maps and data is stored in Oracle Database as part of MapViewer.
Using this page, you provide:
* (A) Logical names to prevent any existing BI column mappings and map analyses from breaking because of changes to the physical data or to the data source.
* Display names so that the geographic data is meaningful to end users.
Note: Administering Maps Using Administration Pages
For (C) –layers, see 3-7 below.

To administer maps using Administration pages:
Sign in to Oracle Business Intelligence.
In the global header, click Administration.
Click the Manage Map Data link to display the Manage Map Data page.
Click the Layers tab.
Click the Import Layers button to display the Import Layers dialog.
In the dialog, select the connection and the layers that are needed for zooming and drilling. (This tab is not prepopulated by other selections on the Administration pages. You can use any layers or images with any map.)
Click OK when you have finished selecting layers that are appropriate for the subject area with which you are working.
Back on the Layers tab, select a layer, then click the Edit Layer button to display the Edit Layer dialog in which you associate layers with attribute columns so that you can display BI data in the map view.
Click OK when you have finished editing the layer.
You use this tab to associate layers with BI data. If you use the City column in multiple subject areas, then you must associate it with a layer for each subject area.
Click the Background Maps tab, then click the Import Background Maps button to display the Import Background Maps dialog.
In the dialog, select the connection and the main maps to use.
The connection that you select for the main map can be different from the connection for the layers or images.
Click OK when you have finished selecting main maps.
Back on the Background Maps tab, select a map, then click the Edit Background Map button to display the Edit Background Map dialog in which you name the map and specify the order of layers and their zoom levels.
Click OK when you have finished editing the map.
Optionally, click the Images tab, then click the Import Images button to display the Import Images dialog. You can import images if you plan to use them as a format on maps.
In the dialog, select the connection and the images to use.
Click OK when you have finished selecting images.
Click Back when you have finished working with the Administration page. Your changes are saved automatically.
