KB287892: Markers are not plotted on ESRI maps in Interactive mode in MicroStrategy Web 10.2


Community Admin

• Strategy


This technical note describes designed behavior of MicroStrategy Web 10.2 where markers are not plotted on ESRI maps in Interactive mode. Interactive mode was deprecated in MicroStrategy Web 10.1 as outlined in tech note KB257502. Run the document in Presentation to see the markers correctly plotted on the ESRI map.

SYMPTOM:
In previous versions of Strategy Web, ESRI maps could be rendered in Interactive mode. Starting in Strategy Web 10.2, metrics set to display as markers are not plotted on ESRI maps. Only a zoomed out ESRI map with no markers appears, as seen below.
