How to Create a Configuration XML for WebFOCUS Flex Map Viewer Using the ESRI Configuration
by Mithu Datta

The WebFOCUS GIS Adapter offers seamless integration between ESRI ArcGIS Server and WebFOCUS. It allows users to use a mapping interface to derive and visualize WebFOCUS Reports.
Conceptually, it is a perfect marriage between business intelligence and location intelligence. Being able to view trends and patterns on a map allows us to analyze data on a different scale than what traditional business intelligence offers. Location intelligence lets us relate data based on location – for instance, finding a coffee shop by referencing the closest intersection.
Information Builders used ESRI’s FLEX API for ArcGIS to develop the WebFOCUS Mapping Interface. A very comprehensive XML is necessary for users to create a map using the WebFOCUS GIS Adapter and define the various pieces of the puzzle – the mapping blocks with the WebFOCUS blocks. With the release of WebFOCUS 8, there is a utility that can be used to create this configuration XML. This article guides you through a simple creation of an XML file used to launch the WebFOCUS Flex Map Viewer.
