Maria Map Maker CLI

From version 4.4

MariaMapMakerCLI (command line interface) is a tool to create and update products and datasets. It offers a subset of the functionality of Maria Map Maker. It can be used in scripts to automate the process of frequently updating datasets. It can also be integrated into other systems to produce Maria GDK compatible products and datasets.

The tool is distributed with the main Maria Map Maker application.

Commands

The tool divides functionality into 4 main commands. Each of these have a set of options, listed below. All commands and options are case insensitive. To see an overview of all commands, run MariaMapMakerCLI.exe without any arguments.

New-Product

Create a new product. This command should write the full path to the new product, as well as its product ID, to StdOut, so it can be piped to a subsequent command.

-n, --name

The name of the new product.

-p, --path

Path where the new product will be created.

-pmd, --productmetadata

Product metadata. Enter a valid product metadata key and value on the form -pmd "key=value". Valid keys are:

• displayname
• displayversion
• previewimage
• description
• virtualpath

Update-Product

Update the metadata of a product, or change its status. The command should write the full path to the updated product, as well as its product ID, to StdOut, so it can be piped to a subsequent command.

-p, --path

Path to a valid product to update, or the path to a workspace containing products. If the path is a workspace, then option --productid must also be specified.

-id, --productid

The product ID to update. Requires that --path is specified to a workspace containing the specified product ID.

-pmd, --productmetadata

Product metadata. Enter a valid product metadata key and value on the form -pmd "key=value". Valid keys are:

• displayname
• displayversion
• previewimage
• description
• virtualpath

-s, --setstatus

Set the status of the product to draft or released.

-m, --generatemanifest

Generate a new manifest in the product. This can be done on a released product without changing its status. Valid values are true or false. Default true.

-acl, --generateacl

Generate a new accompanying letter with a summary of the product content. This can be done on a released product without changing its status. Valid values are true or false. Default true.

New-Dataset

Create a new dataset by importing a georeferenced dataset. The MapPreparation add-in will be used to convert the source data to the selected output format. An overlay referencing the dataset will also be created.

-n, --name

The name of the new dataset.

-p, --path

Path to a valid product to create the dataset in, or the path to a workspace containing products. If the path is a workspace, then option --productid must also be specified.

-id, --productid

The product ID to create a new dataset in. Requires that --path is specified to a workspace containing the specified product ID.

-s, --sourcedata

File or directory containing supported georeferenced data to import.

-dmd, --datasetmetadata

Dataset metadata. Enter a metadata key and value on the form -dmd "key=value".

-ps, --prepscript

The MapPreparation script to use when importing the data. The names are found in the displayname attribute in the MapPreparation script XML's. Default behaviour is to use the first valid script for the chosen source data.

-pp, --prepparam

The value of a parameter for the chosen --prepscript. Should be on the form --prepparam "key=value".

-i, --includesourcedata

Include the source data in a sub-folder "sourcedata" in the dataset folder. This folder will always be cleaned out before updating a dataset. Valid values are true or false. Default is false.

--addto

The type of template to create for the dataset. An overlay referencing the dataset will also be created. Valid values are 'overlay', 'basemap' and 'none'. Default is 'overlay'.

--elevationdatatype

The elevation data type. Valid values are 'undefined', 'terrainmodel', 'surfacemodel' and 'bathymetry'. Default is 'surfacemodel'.

--tags

Comma separated list of text tags applicable to elevation data only.

Update-Dataset

Import source data, overwriting the data file in an existing dataset. This command shares many of the options of the New-Dataset command.

--signature

The unique map signature of the dataset to update.

-p, --path

Path to a valid product where the specified dataset can be found. If the path is a workspace, then option --productid must also be specified.

-id, --productid

The product ID where the specified dataset can be found. Requires that --path is specified to a workspace containing the specified product ID.

-s, --sourcedata

File or directory containing supported georeferenced data to import.

-dmd, --datasetmetadata

Dataset metadata. Enter a metadata key and value on the form -dmd key=value.

--prepscript

The MapPreparation script to use when importing the data. The names are found in the displayname attribute in the MapPreparation script XML's. Default behaviour is to use the first valid script for the chosen source data.

--prepparam

The value of a parameter for the chosen --prepscript. Should be on the form --prepparam "key=value".

--includesourcedata

Include the source data in a sub-folder "sourcedata" in the dataset folder. This folder will always be cleaned out before updating a dataset. Valid values are true or false. Default is false.

--elevationdatatype

The elevation data type. Valid values are 'undefined', 'terrainmodel', 'surfacemodel' and 'bathymetry'. Default is 'surfacemodel'.

--tags

Comma separated list of text tags applicable to elevation data only.

Exit codes

Exit codes are output from MariaMapMakerCLI to indicate the result of the command.

Code	Description
0	OK
1	Command options error
2	Unknown product
3	Service error
4	Service settings error
5	Illegal operation on released product
6	Unknown error

Examples

Create a new product and then import a dataset into it:

MariaMapMakerCLI.exe New-Product --name "AIRAC export" -pmd "displayversion=2023-04" -pmd "virtualpath=Norway\Aeronautical" -pmd "previewimage=c:\work\airac_preview.png" --path "c:\myproduct\" 
MariaMapMakerCLI.exe New-Dataset --path "c:\myproduct\AIRAC_export_v1_asf45345" --sourcedata "c:\srcfiles\airac\airac.tif" -dmd "datadate=2023-04-15" -dmd "description=Aearonautical charts covering Norway"

Set a released product to "Draft", update a dataset, and set to "Released":

MariaMapMakerCLI.exe Update-Product --path "c:\products\" --productid "9075c2fb-ef9f-4300-9008-83f4ecef0ec5" --setstatus "draft"
MariaMapMakerCLI.exe Update-Dataset --path "c:\products\" --productid "9075c2fb-ef9f-4300-9008-83f4ecef0ec5" --signature "IskantSat_456afe46346" --sourcedata "c:\iskant-2023-05-20.tif" -dmd "datadate=2023-05-20" --prepscript "Geopackage (Scale to 8bit)" --prepparam "nodata=255 255 252" --includesourcedata "true"
MariaMapMakerCLI.exe Update-Product --path "c:\products\" --productid "9075c2fb-ef9f-4300-9008-83f4ecef0ec5" --setstatus "released" -pmd "displayversion=2023-05"

The following example is a Powershell script which sets a specified product to "Draft", updates each dataset with new data, updates metadata, and finally sets the product to "Released".

$m3cli = "MariaMapMakerCLI.exe"
$productpath = "F:\workspace\NorwayTopo-update-test\NorwayTopoRaster_v32_859f2d06"

# Hashtable of map signatures in the product and corresponding source data folder
$updates = @{   N5000 = "F:\Geotiff_hovedkartserien\N5000 Raster TIFF-format";
                N2000 = "F:\Geotiff_hovedkartserien\N2000 Raster TIFF-format";
                N1000 = "F:\Geotiff_hovedkartserien\N1000 Raster TIFF-format";
                N500 = "F:\Geotiff_hovedkartserien\N500 Raster TIFF-format";
                N250 = "F:\Geotiff_hovedkartserien\N250 Raster TIFF-format";}

# Set product to draft. This command returns two values: 
# the new product path [0] and the product ID [1].
[array]$product = . $m3cli Update-Product --setstatus "draft"

# Update each dataset in turn
foreach($signature in $updates.Keys)
{
    Write-host "Updating $signature with data from $($updates[$signature])"
    . $m3cli Update-Dataset `
        --path $product[0] `
        --sourcedata $($updates[$signature]) `
        --prepparam "nodata=255 255 252" `
        --prepparam "tile_format=PNG8" `
        --datasetmetadata "datadate=2023-11-01" `
        --datasetmetadata "metadatadate=2023-11-15"
   
}

# Update product metadata and release
. $m3cli Update-Product --path $product[0] --productmetadata "displayversion=2023-11"
. $m3cli Update-Product --path $product[0] --setstatus "released"
