To set your preferences for working with Library Services:
-
On the PRO tab, click Options, and
Web Services to open the Web Services
Preferences dialog box.
-
Click the Library Services tab.
-
Click Server.
-
In the Library Service Preferences dialog box, set a new Server URL (and timeout values) to work with, or change the timeout values for the sever that you are currently working with.
- Server URL - The Internet address for a Library Service server. Enter a valid library service URL and click Test URL to validate the URL. MapInfo Pro becomes Library aware, accesses the list of Catalogs the user can view, and populates their list automatically through MapInfo Manager. Supports any MapInfo Manager Library Service URL that requires authentication
- Server Status - This displays the availability of the Server and shows Available, Not Available, or Unknown.
- Authentication Timeout - Use this setting to indicate the amount of time to establish and authenticate the connection with the Library Service. If the request takes longer than this value, a timeout occurs. The default authentication time out is 30 seconds. The value should be between 1 and 3600 seconds.
- Get Capabilities Timeout - Use this setting to indicate the amount of time to send a request to the Library Service. If the request takes longer than this value, a timeout occurs. The default Get Capabilities time out is 60 seconds. The value should be between 1 and 3600 seconds.
- Request Timeout - Set the default value for attempting to request a specific result from the Library Service. The value should be between 1 and 3600 seconds.
Click OK to apply your settings.
-
In the Web Services Preferences dialog box, chose one of the following:
- Catalogs - Automatically populates the Catalog Browser with MapInfo Manager Catalogs. (For MapInfo Pro users who do not use MapInfo Manager.)
- Catalogs and Library - Finds catalogs and allows you to work with MapInfo Manager Library directly from MapInfo Pro. (For MapInfo Pro users who also use MapInfo Manager.)
-
Click OK to close the dialog and save your settings.
If your Library Service mode is set to anything other than Disabled, then the Catalog Servers dialog box opens the catalog URLs exposed by the MapInfo Manager.
These catalog URLs cannot be edited or deleted. Clicking View in the Catalog Servers dialog box opens the Catalog Server Definition dialog box. You cannot make edits in this dialog box.
