New technology

Import / Export Wizard for tenants

The biggest new feature in this M.App Enterprise release is the possibility of exporting existing tenants and importing them wherever necessary.

This means that you can export your tenant from any supported database provider (PostgreSQL, MS SQLServer, Oracle, SAP Hana) and import it to a different but still supported database provider e.g. export PostgreSQL and import in Oracle.

💡
Only the tenant metadata tables get exported / imported. The spatial data in the background which is used in your tenant(s) doesn’t get affected at all.
  1. Export your tenant from the M.App Enterprise Management. To get the zip file you have to click on the export button in the tenant list
  2. Create an empty database in the desired database provider
  3. Select the zip file and “upload” it to the empty database created in step 2
  4. Change some settings, if needed (MyGeoservices, Imagery, Vector Data, 3D Data)
  5. Follow the wizard until the last step and click on “Save”
  6. Now you have the imported tenant and you can use everything you’ve set up before in the “new” environment
💡
If you have CACHED data in your tenant, you have to manually publish the data again.

For more information have a look at this post:

Import/Export a Tenant
In this post we will guide you through importing or exporting a tenant in Management of M.App Enterprise. 💡Importing or exporting tenants makes it possible to copy entire project environments. Apps, data, style sets, workflows, etc. and all settings are adopted from the import tenant without any further work.

Google Maps integration

In this release you will get the possibility to add Google Maps as a background layer for your applications.

💡
Only 2D Google Maps layers are supported in this update release

New effect (Fog) for Browser Apps

Additionally, effects are only activated when using a 3D map. In the 2D map context every effect is per default disabled.

Community ideas

As always, we looked at the ideation board, took some ideas from there and implemented them into the core platform of M.App Enterprise. For the release of M.App Enterprise 2023 Update 4 the following ideas were picked:

  • New UOM for Browser Maps
  • Desktop App - Ability to turn off map bounds warning message
  • Support of multiple WMS layers
  • Change tab for second page placement in MAE Dashboards

New Unit of Measurement (UOM) for Browser Maps

In this release you get a new unit of measurement namely kilometer when you are activating the Measurement action.

Desktop App - Ability to turn off map bounds warning message

In this release there will be no map bounds warning messages any longer as a popup notification in the desktop client. Instead nothing is shown, but you still have the possibility to see them in the DEV console of the client (pressing F12).

Support of multiple WMS layers

You are allowed to add more than one layer to your / external WMS, which lightens the time in setting up GeoServices for your application. With the click on Select Layers you will get a modal form, where you can select your desired layers for this specific GeoService.

Change tab for second page placement in MAE Dashboards

With this release of M.App Enterprise you can now switch between different locations of your “hidden” / “second-screen” widgets. Go to the Motifs Widget in Dashboard and you will see the Widget Handler Button, which allows you to position it to your likings.

For more information have a look at this post:

Motifs
Motifs can be understood as design patterns or templates representing a particular aesthetic or style. This post will introduce you to all the available options for a Dashboard. 🧠In a context like a dashboard, motifs could offer various options for the visual design of the user interface, such as different
