Sharing Spatial Data Sources

Spatial data sources can be shared in order to be accessed by other JMap Server instances. This way, data can be stored in a single location but is accessible from several JMap Server instances.

In JMap Admin, you can share a spatial data source by granting the Remote access permission to one or more users on this spatial data source. This choice must be consistent with the user who established the connection from the JMap Server that must access the shared spatial data sources.

Refer to sections Spatial Data Source Permissions and JMap Server to JMap Server Connections for more information on this topic.

Once a spatial data source has been shared, a icon displays in the list of data sources, in the Shared column.
