ArcSDE geodatabase

Read	Yes
Write	Yes

JMap Server can read Enterprise geodatabases that use the ArcSDE service (ArcGIS version 10.1 and earlier) to extract spatial and attribute data to be used as a spatial data source. The connection to the ArcSDE service must already be configured. See Creating Databases for more information.

SDE Connection	Select the SDE connection to use to extract spatial data and attributes. The connection uses the ArcSDE driver and must already be configured in JMap Admin.
Layer	Select the feature class to read. Each table in the SDE database is associated with a different feature class.
Id field	Select the field that contains unique identifiers. Only integer fields are listed. The field is usually called OBJECT_ID.
Creation time field	This parameter is optional. If you want this data source to be editable by JMap, this field will show the creation date of each object. If no field is selected, the data can still be edited, but this information will not be maintained.
Modification date field	(Optional) If you want this data source to be editable by JMap, this field will contain the date each object was last modified. If no field is selected, the data can still be edited, but this information will not be maintained. This field is used to manage transaction conflicts and must be present in the attributes of editable layers for the feature to be enabled.
Author field	(Optional) If you want this data source to be editable by JMap, this field will either contain the name of the user who created each object or the name of the user who made the last change. If no field is selected, the data can still be edited, but this information will not be maintained.
Metadata database	(Optional) This field is used to define the database containing the value domains and the relationships to be used. These must have been exported from ArcSDE beforehand in a specific table structure.

There is a special attribute configuration option that is available only with ArcSDE data sources that have attribute domains.

Attributes
Data source	Select whether the attribute values should be used directly (Attribute) or if they should be substituted by the values specified in the domain (Domain).

Exporting ArcSDE domains

In order for JMap to use ArcSDE attribute domains, they must be exported into database tables that JMap can understand. There is a tool that plugs into ArcCatalog to create such tables. Please contact K2 Geospatial for more information on this.
