Howto: Create a GIS Theme based on an IMSMA Add-On
Create a GIS Theme based on an IMSMA Add-On with linked tables to the IMSMA backend
Have you ever had this error messages?
Solution:
In short create 2 ODBC connection for the same Add-On.
-
SQL Driver connection for the Add-on used to link the tables with the back end
-
MS Access Driver for the for the Data Dictionary's theme definition based on the same Add-On
Some more details:
-
Create the add-on based on the document provided by the ETHZ (AddOn_configuration.doc) If you have already an Add-On with linked tbl's to the backend make sure that this tables are linked through the ODBC SQL Server Driver and that they work properly.
-
Create a second ODBC Data Source for the same Add-On using Microsoft Access Driver. (You don't need a password defined in the advanced tab)
-
In the IMSMA Data Dictionary on the Administration tab add this MS Access ODBC source to the list of the ODBC Data sources. Use the following Parameters: UID=GISUser;PWD=GISUser
-
Create your GIS theme in the data dictionary. It should work now. At least it worked for me J
Maybe someone has an other solution – would be nice to know about.

PS: The password "AdminIMSMAAI30" used in previous IMSMA versions for GIS themes is no longer valuable.
