Component:

Environment:

Spectrum 10.x

Cause

Starting on June 22, 2016, Google requires an API key, to enable the Google Maps usage embedded in Websites.

Resolution

The process consists on requesting an API Key from Google and configure it in Oneclick: 

1. Open the following link and perform the request of the API Key:

 https://console.developers.google.com/flows/enableapi?apiid=maps_backend,static_maps_backend,geocoding_backend,directions_backend,distance_matrix_backend,elevation_backend,roads,street_view_image_backend,maps_embed_backend,places_backend,geolocation,timezone_backend,maps_android_backend,maps_ios_backend,placesandroid,placesios&keyType=CLIENT_SIDE&reusekey=true

2. In Oneclick server, open the "$SPECROOT\tomcat\webapps\spectrum\console\googleAPIKEY.config" file and configure the lines as below:

UseLicense=Yes

API_KEY=<new_api_key>

Replace "<new_api_key>" with the API key obtained from Google in Step 1 above.

3. Save the file.

It is not necessary to restart Tomcat service in Oneclick server. Just close/reopen your browser and open GIS View again.
