Map Markers from mulitple remote GeoSCADA Servers

[JTAuto]

We are trying to create a Map set and User Queries that query remote servers to show Map markers. We can get the Map markers to show from a remote server, but left or right clicking the map markers does not work. 

Remote server queries are done through DB Links setup in the system config to CGroup and CGISLocation on the remote servers.

Is there a field, Column or other data needed for click actions to work on map marker from a remote server? I added ObjectLink from the CGroup. also added "RemoteServer::" to beginning of the Fullname but all failed.

Any information would be appreciated.

I would also suggest adding a System Select property like embedded list to User Queries. so its easier to query remote GeoSCADA Servers.

User Queries are also used within the Database for certain things however, and so they can't use the ViewX 'System' selection like the embedded lists use.  Since the System is a ViewX thing (a single Database doesn't know anything about other Databases could possibly exist).

You'll want to be careful using the Linked ODBC Table configuration, it can result in Database Lock issues if abused.  Since queries that go via the Linked ODBC Table don't have any concept of what schema is on the other end, it has to expect the worst case.  So you don't want to use them in ST Logic, and want to keep the queries nice and short (duration).

A map can only present context menus for objects in the database which hosts the map.

I don't think you can do what you are describing. 

Maybe you could create a mimic in the map's 'home' database for every 'foreign' item which you are mapping, and have them use scripts to open the 'real' target display?

I was just wanting to create one map on a central system, then bring in objects from other remote Servers. instead of having a map on each server.  onto Plan B.

OK, I think my suggestion is possibly one of your Plan B's.
